Abstract

Lightweight, robust woven graphite-fiber structures were developed for heat exchangers which provide high conductivity paths along the direction of the graphite fibers. These structures were produced and characterized for air permeability/pressure drop and thermal (heat transfer) performance. Results indicate that the materials are suitable for use in ultra-light weight heat exchanger applications such as vehicle radiators or other areas where light weight, compact, conformable heat transfer devices are needed.
