Abstract
A heat exchanger for a hydrogen fuel delivery system includes a tube bank including an inner-tube where a first portion of the inner-tube extends through an inlet region of the tube bank, a second portion of the inner-tube extends through a mid-region of the tube bank, and a third portion of the inner-tube extends through an outlet region of the tube bank. A thermal buffer at least partially surrounds the inner-tube. A first portion of the thermal buffer extends along the first portion of the inner-tube, a second portion of the thermal buffer extends along the second portion of the inner-tube, and a third portion of the thermal buffer extends along the third portion of the inner-tube. A plurality of fins is disposed along the inner-tube and extends radially outwardly from an outer surface of the thermal buffer.
