Electric Heat Exchanger for Heating sCO2
In May 2022, the VPE & VPE Thermal teams completed the manufacturing of a novel electric heat exchanger for the heating of sCO2. This diffusion bonded microchannel heat exchanger is charged with electrically heated cartridges, which are strategically placed throughout the heat exchanger to help with the heating of sCO2. This novel approach will aid with the pre-heating and/or post-heating of not only sCO2 systems, but other critical systems requiring this technology.
