Parker Aerospace’s macrolaminate heat exchangers represent an optimal solution when space is at a premium, weight is critical, heat rejection must be maximized, and where integration of a thermal management solution into existing structures would be an asset. Integration options on an aircraft engine include
Fairing panels, bifurcation panels, pylons and struts, acoustic liners, nacelles, guide vanes, and/or struts. Airframe options include pods, the fuselage, and/or access panels. Multiple fluid circuits could be arranged in a single heat exchanger and allow for cooling between air, oil and/or fuel.
APPLICATIONS:
This technology can be used in any application, aviation or otherwise, commercial, or military. Specific examples include air-cooled oil coolers (ACOC), fuel-cooled oil coilers (FCOC), and air-cooled air coolers (ACAC).
FEATURES AND ATTRIBUTES:
• Maximize heat rejection for a given area

• Multi-fluid configurations integrating fuel, oil, and air through a single heat exchanger
• Conformal geometries
• Ability to integrate into existing structures
• Dual-thermal and structural functions
• Potential for reducing size, weight, and drag
OPTIONAL FEATURES
• Air-cooled oil cooler
