Abstract
Makai Ocean Engineering has been developing Thin Foil Heat Exchangers (TFHX) for use in seawater-refrigerant, air-water, and water-water applications. This report summarizes work performed between February 2020 – July 2021.
In this period, Makai’s efforts focused on advancing the TFHX design, reducing TFHX fabrication time, and continuing to characterize TFHX thermal, hydraulic, and structural/mechanical performance.
