Abstract

A heat exchange device includes a plurality of flow passages. Each flow passage has an inlet and an outlet configured for hot fluid flow in a direction from the inlet to the outlet. Secondary heat transfer elements within and adjacent each flow passage have heat transfer characteristics varying in the direction of the hot fluid flow such that peak metal temperatures limit creep to acceptable values and such that transient thermal stresses are limited to values producing acceptable life of the device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present disclosure relates to heat exchangers, and more particularly to plate-stack heat exchangers.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Heat exchangers such as, for example, tube-shell heat exchangers, are typically used in aerospace turbine engines and other high temperature applications. These heat exchangers are used to transfer thermal energy between two fluids without direct contact between the two fluids. In particular, a primary fluid is typically directed through a fluid passageway of the heat exchanger, while a cooling or heating fluid is brought into external contact with the fluid passageway. In this manner, heat may be conducted through walls of the fluid passageway to thereby transfer energy between the two fluids. One typical application of a heat exchanger is related to an engine and involves the cooling of air drawn into the engine and / or exhausted from the engine.[0005]However, typical tube she...
