“…In the end, comment on recent trends in MCHX has also been added. Low-cost liquid-liquid manifold microchannel heat exchanger have been developed and heat transfer coefficient higher than that of the typical shell & tube and plate-type heat exchangers is achieved by Tiwari et al, 2019. Microchannel heat exchangers (MCHX) have been developed to cater to the growing needs of cooling of miniature systems. Such systems generally contain a diameter, which is less than 1 mm in dimension.…”

Over the past few decades, the world is moving towards miniature products owing to the technological developments in variegated industrial domains such as aerospace, biomedical, electronics, etc. This has led to the exponential growth of efficient micro cooling systems which are light in weight and have effective thermal performance. Microchannel Heat Sinks and Microchannel Heat Exchangers are the widely adopted solutions for such efficient micro cooling systems. This paper comprehensively reviews the recent developments in the field of Microchannel Heat Sinks and Microchannel Heat Exchangers. Initially, the concept of microchannel cooling is discussed. Further, a comprehensive review of materials, fabrication methods, experimental investigation, and numerical analysis is presented.

“…Therefore, the research on AMHX cannot be limited to the whole heat exchanger, and the effect of components made of additives on the performance of heat exchangers is also an important research content. Tiwari et al [144] explored the effect of more accurate flow distribution of single-phase flow in tubular manifold microchannel heat exchanger through experiments.…”

Heat exchangers play an important role in power, the chemical industry, petroleum, food and many other industrial productions, while compact heat exchangers are more favored in industrial applications due to their high thermal efficiency and small size. This paper summarizes the research status of different types of compact heat exchangers, especially the research results of heat transfer and pressure drop of printed circuit heat exchangers, so that researchers can have an overall understanding of the development of compact heat exchangers and get the required information quickly. In addition, this paper summarizes and analyzes several main working fluids selected in compact heat exchangers, and puts forward some discussions and suggestions on the selection of working fluids. Finally, according to the existing published literature, the performance evaluation indexes of compact heat exchangers are summarized and compared, which is convenient for developers and researchers to better grasp the design direction.

“…AM HX incorporate microscale heat transfer features to increase HX efficiency while maintaining or decreasing HX size [9]. Direct Laser Metal Sintering (DLMS), a form of AM where a laser melts metal powder to form each layer of the part, has been successfully used to demonstrate fabrication of AM HX designs for aerospace and power generation applications [9,10,11,12]. These investigations of using AM for HX design focus primarily on design for HX performance, with limited consideration of manufacturing cost.…”

Developing low cost, high efficiency heat exchangers (HX) for application in concentrated solar power (CSP) is critical to reducing CSP costs. However, the extreme operating conditions in CSP systems present a challenge for typical high efficiency HX manufacturing processes. We describe a process-based cost model (PBCM) to estimate the cost of fabricating an HX for this application using additive manufacturing (AM). The PBCM is designed to assess the effectiveness of different designs, processes choices, and manufacturing innovations to reduce HX cost. We describe HX design and AM process modifications that reduce HX cost from a baseline of$780/kW-thto$570/kW-th. We further evaluate the impact of alternative current and potential future technologies on HX cost, and identify a pathway to further reduce HX cost to$270/kW-th.
