Abstract: A ducted heat exchanger system for a gas turbine engine includes an additive manufactured heat exchanger core with a contoured external and/or internal geometry. A method of additively manufacturing a heat exchanger for a gas turbine engine includes additively manufacturing a core of a heat exchanger to set a ratio of local surface area to flow area to control a pressure drop per unit length along the core.

Abstract: A heat exchange module is provided for a turbine engine. The heat exchange module includes a duct and a plurality of heat exchangers. The duct includes a flowpath defined radially between a plurality of concentric duct walls. The flowpath extends along an axial centerline through the duct between a first duct end and a second duct end. The heat exchangers are located within the flowpath, and arranged circumferentially around the centerline.

Abstract: A heat exchanger system for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The heat exchanger system may include a first structure at least partially defining a first plenum configured to receive a first air stream, a second structure at least partially defining a second plenum configured to receive a second air stream having lower pressure than the first air stream, a third structure at least partially defining a third plenum configured to receive a third air stream having lower pressure than the second air stream, and a heat exchanger configured for operative communication with the first air stream, the second air stream, and the third air stream while disposed between the second air stream and the third air stream. The heat exchanger may be configured to transfer heat from the first air stream to the third air stream.

Abstract: A heat exchanger system includes an additively manufactured inlet header upstream of, and in fluid communication with, the heat exchanger core and an additively manufactured exit header downstream of, and in fluid communication with, the heat exchanger core. A method of manufacturing a header for a ducted heat exchanger system for a gas turbine engine includes additively manufacturing a header with respect to a desired airflow therethrough.
