The aerospace sector uses heat exchangers to fulfill various projects where cooling and heating systems are essential. This industry demands a superior quality and performance heat exchanger to handle the extreme environment in which it continuously operates. Because of this, only high-quality heat exchangers are employed.
Fin tube heat exchangers are commonly used in commercial aircraft. These take heat from the engine’s oil system to heat cold fuel. It improves fuel efficiency while ensuring no water is trapped in the fuel freezing in components.
Other applications of heat exchangers in the aerospace industry:
- Cool rammed air
- Environmental controlled system
- Gas turbine cycle
