Engineering the Unfair Advantage
Micro-Matrix Heat Exchangers (MMX)• PWR has dedicated manufacturing for Micro-Matrix Heat Exchangers (MMX). These miniature hollow tube-in-shell heat
exchangers have extraordinary capacity for liquid-liquid and air-liquid applications in a compact volume (200 cm3 capable of >50 kW, 14 lpm, 90oC ETD)
• Designed to maximize surface area and heat rejection• Temperature compatible materials available:
• stainless steel• Peek thermoplastic (250oC)
• Applications:• Battery Cooling• High-Performance and High-Power Computing• Power Electronics (IGBTs, Inverters, Converters,
etc.)• Air cooling• Intercoolers
Engineering the Unfair Advantage
Liquid Cold Plates – Vacuum and CAB Brazed• PWR can bring multiple processes to liquid solutions – Vacuum and CAB brazing
for low profile, embedded compute and high-power heat dissipation• Laminate CAB: Stamped/Laser/Water Jet cut
low-profile cold plates integrated with fin profiles
• Extruded or Billet CAB: pre-formed tubes integrated with machined parts and fin profiles
• Vacuum Brazed: typically machined billet parts integrated with fin profiles
• 6000, 3000 alloys and hybrids possible for each type
• Applications:• Battery Cooling• High-Performance and High-Power
Computing• Power Electronics (IGBTs, Inverters,
Converters, etc.)• Emersion cooling

Additive Manufacturing
• Initial commissioning and qualifying tools in Australia underway• SLA platform for high temperature and high
strength Somos Perform material• Conventional laser powder bed fusion
aluminium printing• VELO3D partnership for aluminium laser powder
bed fusion:• Non-porous aluminium walls of 0.3mm• Porous structures of 0.2mm• Build angles of 10o off the bed without
support structures, which is an advantage for complex internal structures
• ~100:1 height to diameter build ratio• The impact of AM on HEX builds and
performance will be investigated going forward
