Plate Heat Exchanger: Made Better with Additive Manufacturing

Plate heat exchangers are very common in industrial heat transfer applications. They use stacked metal plates to create channels that separate the hot and cold fluid flows. The plates can be either braze welded together or clamped with tightening bolts.
With Additive Manufacturing, we can improve this traditional design and generate plate heat exchanger replacements with the same form factor but improved performance and quality that are manufacturable in one piece.
In this nTop Live, Yuki Okada, Technical Marketing Engineer at nTopology, shows you how to create a fully customizable heat exchanger with identical external dimensions to a traditional plate heat exchanger. He uses a gyroid TPMS infill to create a heat exchanger core with a high heat transfer area. On top of that, the workflow will be condensed into one block to go through multiple design iterations of the heat exchanger.
Watch and learn how to:
- Create a custom heat exchanger designs
- Generate a two-fluid domain gyroid TPMS lattice heat exchanger core
- Package the entire process into a reusable workflow

Awesome!

[@avitolourenco]

the volume extract is LEGENDARY, 99.9% of CAD package struggle to extract gyroid volumes.

[@madladdan]

Is it possible to use these dimension variables to do automated generative design with ansys results?

[@user-fg2sz6kk4p]

Gyroid filled design in ntopology is difficult to export it in Iges or STEP file to other simulation software, is there update to slove this limitations. Thank you.

[@avitolourenco]

STEP would almost never be the export solution, try STL, but export them separately, so fluid domains and the solid.

[@AlexanderEndless]

It doesn't matter how good your software is if no one can try it. I've been to your website, there is no straight forward way to get a trial version of the product.

But it can't be cleaned again 😄

@alkaiosbourniasvarotsis1430 Definitely not on-board a ship which has tons of salt.
