Lightweight Titanium Heat Exchangers
for Airborne Applications

Lytron, in conjunction with Materials Resources International (MRi), and with SBIR funding1, has designed, developed, tested, and proven the manufacturing concepts for a titanium plate fin heat exchanger. It offers similar performance to stainless steel or nickel alloy heat exchangers at 30-50% less weight.

Heat Exchangers Lightweight Titanium

In most aircraft cabin environmental control systems, bleed-air is cooled via a lightweight plate fin heat exchanger using ram-air as the coolant. The high temperatures of the hot bleed-air precludes construction from lightweight aluminum alloys...Full Article
