Advanced Inverted Brayton Cycle exhaust heat recovery with Steam Generation
Lead Participant:
HIETA TECHNOLOGIES LTD
Abstract
The project builds on the technology development work being carried out in Innovate UK iBranch project, and
will assess the technical feasibility of an Additive Manufactured complex multi-fluid multi-phase heat exchanger
for use within an Inverted Brayton waste heat recovery system. The system converts waste exhaust energy
from an internal combustion engine into useable power, either electrical or shaft. The heat exchanger aims to
significantly increase the energy harvest potential of the system using phase change and multiple coolant loops
to optimise the thermal management, and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 10%. The partners are HiETA
Technologies Ltd, the University of Bath and Axes Design Ltd.
