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，并将评估用于倒布雷顿废热回收系统的添加剂制造复杂多流体多相热交换器的技术可行性。该系统将来自内燃机的废气转化为可用的电力或轴动力。热交换器旨在通过相变和多个冷却剂循环来优化热管理，显著提高系统的能量收集潜力，预计将减少10%的二氧化碳排放。合作伙伴是hietattechnologies Ltd，巴斯大学和Axes Design Ltd。

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%. The partners are HiETATechnologies Ltd, the University of Bath and Axes Design Ltd.
