High Temperature Heat Exchangers

Development of C - SiC ceramic compact plate heat exchangers for high temperature heat transfer applications

This paper investigates the use of polymer and liquid silicon infiltrated carbon/siliconcarbide composite (C-SiC) materials for the development of inexpensive compact heat exchangers, as part of efforts for thermochemical hydrogen production. These heat exchangers will be capable of operating in the temperature range of 500 to 1400°C with highpressure helium, liquid fluoride salts (a potential ...

High Performance Woven Mesh Heat Exchangers

Simple-to-fabricate woven mesh structures, consisting of bonded laminates of two-dimensional plain-weave conductive screens, or three-dimensional orthogonal weaves are described. Geometric equations show that these porous matrices can be fabricated to have a wide range of porosity and a highly anisotropic thermal conductivity vector. A mathematical model of the thermal performance of such a mes...
