Abstract
A heat exchanger system includes an additively manufactured inlet header upstream of, and in fluid communication with, the heat exchanger core and an additively manufactured exit header downstream of, and in fluid communication with, the heat exchanger core. A method of manufacturing a header for a ducted heat exchanger system for a gas turbine engine includes additively manufacturing a header with respect to a desired airflow therethrough.
