An electroforming system and method for electroforming a component that includes a first housing and a second housing, where the second housing can define a conformable electroforming reservoir with a base structure. An electrically insulating sheet covers at least a portion of the base structure and defines a fluid passage where the component is to be located.

Electroforming system and method

A thermal insulation system for an aerospace duct through which high temperature fluid, greater than 500 F, passes. The thermal insulation system can experience pressures less than 80 kilopascals and can be included in a turbine engine. The thermal insulation system includes at least a first foil layer confronting the duct, an insulation layer confronting the first foil layer, a second foil layer confronting the insulation layer, and at least one coating applied to any one of the layers.

Thermal insulation system

A method of electroforming a heat exchanger suitable. The method comprising providing a non-sacrificial carrier plate, providing a first sacrificial element and providing a second sacrificial element. The method comprising electroforming a duct over the first sacrificial element and electroforming a rail over the second sacrificial element. The method comprising removing the first sacrificial element and the second sacrificial element.

Additive heat exchanger and method of forming

An electroforming system and method for electroforming a component that includes a first housing and a second housing, where the second housing can define a conformable electroforming reservoir with a base structure that defines a fluid passage. The first housing can include a dissolution reservoir containing an electrolytic fluid that is fluidly coupled to the fluid passage of the second housing.

An electroformed heat exchanger suitable for use between rotating blades and seals in a stationary casing of a turbine engine. The heat exchanger comprising a non-electroformed carrier plate having a radial outer surface and a radial outer surface, an electroformed duct provided along the radial outer surface, an electroformed rail provided on the radial inner surface, and an electroformed stiffener formed by a portion of the electroformed duct and the electroformed rail.

A gas turbine engine guide vane heat exchanger has guide vane heat exchanger including electroformed fluid channels in electroformed heat exchanger tubes or a heat exchanger core disposed within airfoil. Non-flammable heat conducting liquid or non-metallic foam may fill space between tubes or core and airfoil. Fluid circuit may include channels within electroformed heat exchanger tubes or the heat exchanger core and extend from inlet manifold to outlet manifold for directing fluid or oil through channels and include fluid or oil supply inlet connected to inlet manifold for receiving the fluid or oil flowed into inlet manifold and a fluid or oil supply outlet connected to fluid or oil supply outlet for discharging fluid or oil flowed out of fluid or oil outlet manifold. Heat exchanger tubes or heat exchanger core, inlet manifold, outlet manifold, supply inlet and supply outlet may be integrally and monolithically electroformed together.
