This project is intended to prove the technical and commercial feasibility of the “Microcomb”heat exchanger, which utilises small air passageways to improve heat rejection efficiency invehicle applications over conventional fin and tube designs. In particular, the main objectivesof the project are:- To benchmark, teardown and test the closest available technologies;- To develop analytical design tools for accurate comparison;- To design an optimised Microcomb module;- To produce a detailed CFD model for Microcomb;- To produce prototype Microcomb modules;- To extensively test prototype Microcomb modules- To evaluate the commercial potential for the product- To file patent applications for inventive features; and- To complete a detailed final report.The ultimate aim of the project is to develop a heat exchange module which is capable ofapplication in a wide range of different vehicle types, and which can be readily sized todirectly replace traditional radiators and intercoolers to provide package, emissions, fueleconomy and weight benefits.

该项目旨在证明“微梳”热交换器的技术和商业可行性，该热交换器利用小的空气通道来提高车辆应用中的散热效率，而不是传统的翅片和管设计。具体而言，该项目的主要目标是：-对最接近的现有技术进行基准测试、拆卸和测试;-开发用于准确比较的分析设计工具;-设计优化的Microcomb模块;-为Microcomb制作详细的计算流体动力学模型;-制作Microcomb模块原型;-广泛测试Microcomb模块原型;-评估产品的商业潜力;-为发明特征提交专利申请;以及-完成详细的最终报告。该项目的最终目标是开发一种热交换模块，该模块能够应用于各种不同的车辆类型，并且可以很容易地确定尺寸，以直接取代传统的散热器和中冷器，从而提供包装，排放，燃料经济性和重量效益。
