Principle
A heat exchanger is a piece of equipment designed to transfer thermal energy from one fluid to another (liquid or gas), without mixing, but also from a fluid to a solid (cold plate type exchanger).
Heat transfer is characterized by the exchange surface, which is specific to each technology, and the heat exchange coefficient, which depends on the fluid and geometry.
There are two types of heat exchanger:
Two-phase transfer:
Change of state (condensation or evaporation) at constant temperature and pressure.
Single-phase transfer:
With temperature rise or fall, but no change of state.
Thalès Alenia Space « Best on Innovation 2019 » award:
Design of a two-phase loop usig ammonia as the transfer fluid.
Absolut System cooled the mechanical pumping loop on the SES-17 satellite developed by Thalès Alénia Space for the European Neosat program. Design and manufacture of a Turbo-Brayton cryogenic cooler with a service life in excess of 15 years, thanks to non-contact hydrodynamic bearings.

We can also develop a specific heat exchanger for your application, even under non-cryogenic conditions, from your specifications to delivery of the flight model, including engineering and qualification models if required. We have in-house capabilities to characterize performance, and can carry out mechanical testing through our local partners.
