Abstract
An aircraft micro-lattice cross-flow heat exchanger and methods are presented. A first aircraft fluid source inlet provides a first fluid from a first aircraft system, and a second aircraft fluid source inlet provides a second fluid from a second aircraft system. A structural body supports aviation induced structural loads and exchanges heat between the first fluid and the second fluid. The structural body comprises hollow channels forming two interpenetrating fluidically isolated volumes that flow the first fluid within the hollow channels and flow the second fluid external to the hollow channels isolated from the first fluid. The hollow channels comprise a hollow three-dimensional micro-truss comprising hollow truss elements extending along at least three directions, and hollow nodes interpenetrated by the hollow truss elements.
