  • Publication number: 20240383080
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of heat exchange technology, specifically to a composite process and system for producing a profiled microchannel plate heat exchanger. This process integrates selective laser melting additive manufacturing with micro electrical discharge machining to create microchannel plate heat exchangers featuring large aspect ratio flow channels and closed profile section flow channels. It enables the fabrication of channels with various cross-sections, such as circular and rectangular, as well as hollow closed profile section flow channels, including micro circular and square holes. The process allows for high-precision machining of microchannels with any aspect ratio.

  • Publication number: 20230081397
    Abstract: The present application provides an anti-corrosion super-slippery aluminum capillary tube and method and device for preparing the same. The preparation starts with the etching and drying of the inner walls of an aluminum capillary tube, which leads to the formation of an alumina capillary structure surface with micro-nano scale roughness. Next, the alumina capillary structure surface is modified to form a low surface energy modifying layer. Finally, the modified alumina capillary structure surface is wetted by a prewetting solution, so that a continuous film of the prewetting solution is formed on the inner wall of the aluminum capillary tube to function as a lubricating layer. The lubrication layer, on one hand, reduces the flow resistance for convey of liquid media, on the other hand, prevents the conveyed liquids from directly contacting the aluminum capillary tube body, thereby avoiding the corrosion of the aluminum capillary tube by corrosive liquids.
