VIDEO LEARNING: Advancing Heat Exchanger Technology for Modern Thermal Performance & Weight Challenges
July 15, 2026
11:00 am ET / 8:00 am PT
A new heat exchanger architecture/technology is being developed to address increasing demands for lightweight, high-performance thermal management across aerospace, defense, space, and data center applications. This approach introduces a more revolutionary alternative to traditional designs, with a focus on higher performance, lower weight, greater scalability, and faster development.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How MicroFoil technology enables up to 30% weight reduction compared to conventional heat exchanger designs
- The current development status of MicroFoil technology, including test readiness and expected timeline
- How MicroFoil designs compare to traditional plate-fin and other more-recent heat exchanger technologies in terms of weight, thermal performance, and form factor
- Key design characteristics, including scalable geometry, conformal configurations, and integration of features such as flexible bellows fittings for both thermal expansion and design tolerance mitigation considerations
- Material compatibility and performance across a wide temperature range, including aluminum and Inconel
- How the technology can be applied across different systems and environments, from aerospace and defense to data center cooling
- The impact of design flexibility on development speed and path to implementation
This webinar is intended for professionals involved in thermal management and system design, including engineering leaders, systems engineers, structural analysts, program managers, and individuals focused on weight optimization, propulsion systems, and data center cooling.
