Abstract
Heat exchangers are key components of most power conversion systems, a few industrial sectors can particularly benefit from high temperature heat
exchangers. Examples include conventional aerospace applications, advanced nuclear power generation systems, and high efficiency stationary and
mobile modular fossil fuel to shaft power/electricity conversion systems. This paper provides a review of high temperature heat exchangers in terms of
build materials, general design, manufacturing techniques, and operating parameters for the selected applications. Challenges associated with
conventional and advanced fabrication technologies of high temperature heat exchangers are discussed. Finally, the paper outlines future research needs
of high temperature heat exchangers.
