If a picture tells a thousand words, then holding a Conflux heat exchanger in your hand tells many independently-tested-results-and-technical-presentations. When our customers or additive manufacturing peers hold one of our latest heat exchangers, they tend to say…well, “wow”. Here is a summary of just why that is.
NO. 1 is THE LEVEL OF DETAIL
With just a visual, it’s apparent – the fine details we are able to design and manufacture are worth beholding. The fins, thin walls and complex geometries inside each of our Conflux Technology heat exchangers are the result of deep expertise in our specialist areas; heat exchange and additive manufacturing. Our custom build parameters enable us to achieve these sough-after thin structures while retaining strength and meet performance targets.
Our Water Charge Air Cooler (WCAC) is a prime example of how our 3D printed heat exchangers are able to out-perform leading comparable WCAC. Learn more about the development of this industry-leading heat exchanger in this case study.
NO. 2 is POWDER REMOVAL
For those familiar with additive manufacturing and the impressive geometries, powder removal is a genuine challenge. The finer the details, the larger the problem. We have developed proprietary techniques keeping us in pole position when it comes to keeping our 3D printed heat exchangers powder free.
Learn more about our unique use of the Australian Synchotron particle accelerator, and our proprietary quality control software Conflux Quantify; both are important aspects of our testing and validation.
NO. 3 is ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING HEAT EXCHANGERS is HARD
Heat exchangers are well recognised as a great fit for utilising the benefits that additive manufacturing can provide; improvements in performance, lighter weight, superior control over packaging constraints, etc.
However, with additive manufacturing heat exchangers (AM HX), extracting all the value that AM brings is formidable. As thermal pioneers, we can appreciate this, we are proud to have met this challenge and are now global leaders in this space.

No. 4 is DISCOVERY
There is a moment of discovery we share, when someone holds one of our heat exchangers. It’s always a “wow” type experience as they realise what they are rolling around in their hands. For us, this is an important moment, it holds an element of vindication as the results of our years of hard work are recognised by our peers.
