Within the scope of the 1003 project titled "Design and Development of High Performance Compact Heat Exchanger with Metal Foamed Flow Channel in Regular and Open Porous Geometry", researchers from TÜBİTAK MAM Materials Institute visited Türk Demir Döküm Fabrikaları A.Ş. together with the overseas advisor and representatives of Karabük University.
Within the scope of the 1003 Project Call for "R&D Studies for Efficient Use of Energy in Industry and Utilization of Waste Heat"; there is a need for information, product/technology development for energy use and efficiency in industry and conversion of waste energy (flue gas, heat, steam production, etc.), especially waste energy in power cycle plants, into usable energy.
Bu ulusal ihtiyaç doğrultusunda çağrı hedeflerinden birisi, sistemin enerji verimliliğini en az %10 artıran, 60.000 saatin üzerinde ömre sahip ısı eşanjörlerinin geliştirilmesidir. Bu hedefe yönelik olarak, TÜBİTAK MAM Malzeme Enstitüsü koordinatörlüğünde, İTÜ Kimya-Metalürji Fakültesi, Karabük Üniversitesi Teknoloji Fakültesi ile Türk Demir Döküm Fabrikaları A.Ş.’nin proje ortaklığı ve ayrıca EÜAŞ Enerji Üretim Santrallerinin etkin işbirliği desteğiyle gerçekleştirilecek olan “Düzenli ve Açık Gözenekli Geometride Metal Köpüklü Akış Kanalına Sahip Yüksek Performanslı Kompakt Isı Eşanjörü Tasarımı ve Geliştirilmesi” konulu proje önerisi kabul edildi.
TÜBİTAK MAM Materials Institute project manager Dr. Levent Turhan, Dr. Ömer Eksik, Dr. Nurettin Özbey and consultant/researcher Prof. Dr. Halim Gürgenci from abroad and project partner Karabük University Rector Assist, Dean and project coordinator Prof. Dr. Mustafa Yaşar and Assistant Dean Assoc. Prof. Dr. Melik Çetin visited the Bilecik-Bozüyük facilities of Türk Demir Döküm Fabrikaları A.Ş., the industrial partner in the project, on January 6, 2016 and held a pre-contract meeting with Ahmet Şen, Deputy General Manager of R&D, and Dr. Emine Cerit, R&D Innovation Officer, to discuss the work to be carried out in the project.
In this project, it is aimed to carry out R&D studies to develop a metal foam and/or honeycomb structure with different production methods and to transform it into a compact heat exchanger prototype with much higher efficiency by integrating it into heat exchangers.
