Conventional heat exchangers occupy a large cabin volume and are heavy. At the same time, air needs to be drawn into the cabin, and the air pipeline will also occupy the cabin space. In order to improve the cabin utilization rate and solve the problem of overheating of fuel cell working heat accumulation, a new type of high-efficiency heat exchange cold plate with external welded fins is specially designed. It is fixed on the outside of the aircraft and uses ram wind convection heat exchange to save space inside the cabin. It is light in weight and will eventually replace the original heat exchanger.
