Advanced Inverted Brayton Cycle exhaust heat recovery with Steam Generation

该项目建立在Innovate UK iBranch项目正在进行的技术开发工作的基础上，并将评估增材制造的复杂多流体多相热交换器在倒置布雷顿废热回收系统中使用的技术可行性。该系统将废气能量从内燃机转化为可用的电力或轴。该热交换器旨在利用相变和多冷却剂回路来优化热管理，从而显著提高系统的能量收集潜力，并有望将二氧化碳排放量减少10%。合作伙伴是HiETA技术有限公司，巴斯大学和Axes设计有限公司。

The project builds on the technology development work being carried out in Innovate UK iBranch project, andwill assess the technical feasibility of an Additive Manufactured complex multi-fluid multi-phase heat exchangerfor use within an Inverted Brayton waste heat recovery system. The system converts waste exhaust energyfrom an internal combustion engine into useable power, either electrical or shaft. The heat exchanger aims tosignificantly increase the energy harvest potential of the system using phase change and multiple coolant loopsto optimise the thermal management, and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 10%.
