Innovative heat transfer system

Innovative heat transfer system

This project has developed technology that is attracting much interest both inside and outside aerospace and defence. Birmingham and Coventry's Meggitt Control Systems worked with the University of Birmingham and two local SMEs – Solihull's Arden Precision and PAB Coventry – to perfect a heat transfer system that improves heat exchanger efficiency. The technology involves a novel nickel-based metal foam (Retimet) and has proved to be a much more effective medium in heat transfer in a range of environments.
