    [0001] Many aircraft heat exchangers operate at high temperatures and are subject to thermal stresses caused by thermal expansion, especially with thermal coefficient mismatch and uneven temperature distribution within the heat exchanger or with abutting components. These thermal stresses can lead to a reduction in the service life of the heat exchanger. In addition, deleterious mechanical stresses due to vibration can arise where components natural frequencies coincide significantly with engine operating frequencies. Particularly high stress regions within aircraft heat exchangers include interfaces between fluid inlets and outlets with the core section. SUMMARY

    [0004] FIG. 1 is perspective view of a layered core arrangement for a heat exchanger. FIG. 2 is a side view of the layered core arrangement of FIG. 1 with additional fluid ducting schematically shown. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a single layer belonging to the layered core arrangement of FIGS. 1 and 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
    [0005] A heat exchanger with improved performance under thermal and vibrational stresses is disclosed herein. The heat exchanger includes a core having multiple, planar core layers in a stacked configuration. Individual core layers can include a number of tubular flow paths concentrically arranged to give the core layer a leaf-like planar geometry with improved thermal and mechanical properties. The core can be additively manufactured to achieve varied tubular dimensions (e.g., diameter, wall thicknesses, curvature, etc.), which allows for the manufacture of a heat exchanger specifically tailored for a desired operating environment.
    [0006] FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective and side views, respectively, of heat exchanger 10. As shown, heat exchanger 10 includes core 12 disposed between inlet header 14 and outlet header 16. In operation of heat exchanger 10, a first fluid F1 can be provided to inlet header 14, flow through core 12, and exit through outlet header 16. First fluid F1 flows along a first flow axis A1 at inlet header 14 and outlet header 16. FIG. 2 additionally shows a second fluid F2 flowing across core 12 along second fluid axis A2 via second fluid ducts 18, which can, in an alternative embodiment, be omitted. First fluid F1 can be a relatively hot fluid, having a higher temperature than fluid F2, which can be a relatively cool fluid, but the designations can be reversed in alternative embodiments. Further, heat exchanger 10, as shown, is arranged as a cross-flow heat exchanger, such second fluid axis A2 is generally perpendicular to first fluid axis A1. In other embodiments, however, second fluid F2 can flow in other directions. In one such embodiment, heat exchanger 12 can have a counter-flow configuration in which axes A1 and A2 are parallel with fluids F1 and F2 flowing in opposite directions.
    [0007] Core 12 includes a plurality of core layers 20 stacked along axis A2. Core 12 can further include connecting elements/vanes 22 disposed between adjacent core layers 20. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, vanes 22 are generally solid structures occupying the space (extending parallel to axis A2) between adjacent core layers 20. This helps create distinct flow passages for second fluid F2, and can also provide increased core stiffness. In an alternative embodiment, vanes 22 can instead be arranged as discrete structures (i.e., ribs) separate from and positioned between adjacent core layers 20, or extending from individual core layers 20, and can alternatively or additionally be omitted between certain adjacent core layers 20. The distinct flow passages created by vanes 22 constrain flow of second fluid F2, allowing for more uniform flow distribution. The stiffness added by vanes 22 raises the natural vibrational frequencies of core 12 and heat exchanger 10 as a whole, avoiding harmful resonance conditions wherein these natural frequencies could otherwise coincide with (lower) engine operating frequencies.
    [0008] Each core layer 20 is in fluid communication with inlet header 14 and outlet header 16 such that each core layer 20 can receive a portion of the flow of first fluid F1. Inlet header 14 and outlet header 16 have a branched configuration and are therefore scalable to fluidly connect to one or more core layers by the addition/omission of branches 24. The branched configuration can for example, exhibit a fractal geometry, with sequential branched stages and intervening bifurcations.
    [0009] FIG. 3 is a plan view of an individual core layer 20 of core 12. Core layer 20 is shown as a substantially planar structure that can include a plurality of concentrically arranged tubular core stages 26 disposed between inlet 28 and outlet 30. More specifically, core layer 20 includes core stages 26A - 26H (not all labeled in FIG. 3) in a direction of the concentrically innermost to the concentrically outermost core stage 26. In an alternative embodiment, core layer 20 can include more or fewer core stage 26 depending on factors such as spatial constraints and flow requirements. Although the present disclosure presents core layer 20 as a planar layer, some embodiments of the present heat exchanger design can include core layers that are curved, bowed, or that otherwise deviate from a strictly planar geometry.
    [0010] Core stage 26H, the outermost core stage shown in FIG. 3, includes a fluid intersection 32H proximate and downstream of inlet 28 (with respect to the flow of fluid Fi) fluidly connecting core stage 26H with inlet 28, concentrically inner core stages 26, and outlet 30. Fluid intersection 32H includes bifurcation 34H and inlet continuation portion 36H. Bifurcation 34H allows a portion of first fluid F1 to flow into core tubes 38H, which are shown as arcuate and symmetrically disposed in the plane of core layer 20 on either side of first axis A1. More generally, core tubes 38H (and other core tubes, as described hereinafter) are arranged concentrically with other core tubes. Continuation portion 36H allows a portion of first fluid F1 to flow along axis A1 into fluid intersection 32G of the adjacent and concentrically inner core stage 26G. Core stage 26H further includes fluid intersection 40H downstream of fluid intersection 32H. Core tubes 38H join fluid intersection 40H at recombination 42H to fluidly connect fluid intersections 32H and 40H. Fluid intersection 40H further includes outlet continuation portion 44H which fluidly connects fluid intersection 40H and fluid intersection 40G of the adjacent and concentrically inner core stage 26G.
    [0011] Each core tube 38A-38H is mechanically independent from other core tubes, and is joined to other components of heat exchanger 10 only at corresponding intersections at either end of the respective core tube (and via vanes 22, in some embodiments). The ability of each core tube to bend independently under thermal loads greatly improves compliance of heat exchanger 10 as a whole, along fluid axis A1. The curvature of core tubes 38A-38H (substantially circular in the illustrated embodiment) provides a degree of stiffness in the plane of each core stage, transverse to fluid axis A1, which can drive the natural vibrational modes of the core along this dimension out of (lower) frequency bands corresponding to engine operating frequencies.
    [0012] As shown in FIG. 3, concentrically inner core stages 26A - 26G have substantially similar flow structures (e.g., fluid intersections, bifurcations, core tubes, continuations, and recombinations) to those described with respect to core stage 26H, scaled according to concentric location within core layer 20. For example, core tubes 38 of a particular core stage 26 are generally longer than the core tubes 38 of a concentrically inner core stage 26, such that the flow path of first fluid F1 is longer in the outer stages 26 as compared to the inner stages 26. In the embodiment shown, core layer 20 is further configured such that the radius of core tubes 38 of the corresponding core stage 26A - 26H increases in a direction of the concentrically innermost to the concentrically outermost core stage 26. This graduation of tube radii from larger at concentrically outer stages to smaller at concentrically inner stages generates an optimal flow condition to alleviate turbulent flows and prevent fluid stagnation, therefore reducing pressure drop across core layer 20. In some embodiments, wall thicknesses of core tubes 38 can also be varied among core stages 26 to further enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of core layer 20.
    [0013] The components of heat exchanger 10 can be formed partially or entirely by additive manufacturing. For metal components (e.g., Inconel, aluminum, titanium, etc.) exemplary additive manufacturing processes include powder bed fusion techniques such as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), laser net shape manufacturing (LNSM), electron beam manufacturing (EBM), to name a few, non-limiting examples. For polymer or plastic components, stereolithography (SLA) can be used. Additive manufacturing is particularly useful in obtaining unique geometries (e.g., varied core tube radii, arcuate core tubes, branched inlet and outlet headers) and for reducing the need for welds or other attachments (e.g., between inlet header 14 and core layers 20). However, other suitable manufacturing process can be used. For example, header and core elements can in some embodiments be fabricated separately, and joined via later manufacturing steps.
    [0014] The disclosed core arrangement offers improved thermal and mechanical properties. The curved geometry and tailored radii of core tubes 38 reduces pressure drop across each core layer 20. Curved core tubes also provide increased compliance along the first axis F1 to allow for thermal growth of the core layer. Alternative embodiments of core 12 can include core layers 20 having other substantially planar geometries with non-circular (e.g., oval, elliptical, s-shaped) tube curvature, and/or having non-uniform shapes and/or sizes. In addition to aerospace applications, the disclosed core arrangement can be used generally in other transportation industries, as well as industrial applications. Discussion of Possible Embodiments
