Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020168012A1] A method of enhancing an open celled foam metal heat exchanger is presented where the structure uses fluid channels that distribute fluid and/or air across a continuous flow field. The heat exchanger not only improves heat transfer properties given a required pressure drop but also takes into consideration the need to manufacture low cost solutions that may be mass produced to meet high capacity throughput requirements for the air and space industries.
