Patent number: 10914535Abstract: A one-piece heat exchanger manufactured using an additive manufacturing process is described. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of channels formed therein. At least some of the plurality of channels may be configured to provide structural support to the heat exchanger to reduce its weight. Different coolant media may be used in a first set and a second set of the plurality of channels to provide different types of cooling in an integrated one-piece heat exchanger structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: David L. Vos, Ryan M. Alderfer, Randall J. Stutzman
