This study investigated the heat transfer performance of a novel ZA27 metal foam heat exchanger. The enhanced heat transfer performance was attributed to the increased surface area of the metallic foam, but overall efficiency was limited by inefficient heat transfer between the internal mass stream and the copper tube.
This study investigates the heat transfer performance of a novel ZA27 metal foam heat exchanger. An open-celled metal foam is combined with a thin-walled copper tube in a single-step casting process. The heat transfer between two separated water streams flowing through the copper tube and foam, respectively, is measured and compared to an equivalent shell tube heat exchanger arrangement. Heat transfer enhancement of up to 71% and a heat transfer rate exceeding 30 kW are observed and attributed to the increased surface area of the metallic foam. However, overall performance was limited by the inefficient heat transfer between the internal mass stream and the copper tube.
