Winglet Offset Fin, patented enhancement

A patented fin geometry that disrupts the boundary layer and creates controlled vortices, boosting heat transfer while simultaneously cutting pressure drop.

Vortex generation

Winglet geometry creates controlled longitudinal vortices that continuously refresh the thermal boundary layer: maximizing convective heat transfer.

📐

Optimized angles

Attack angles A1 (35°) through A4 (32°) are independently optimized per fin row: tuned via CFD to balance thermal enhancement and drag penalty.

🖨

AM-only geometry

The winglet profile is impossible to manufacture by stamping or extrusion. Metal additive manufacturing (SLM) is the only process that can reproduce it faithfully.

Design process

From CAD to metal part: in days

Our integrated pipeline goes from your thermal requirements directly to a printed, tested heat exchanger with no intermediate manufacturing constraints.

HEAX, SLM metal additive manufacturing process

NSGA-II multi-objective optimisation

We don't give you one answer.
We map the entire design space.

Whether it's our patented Modular Shell & Tube or our 3D-printed microchannel technologies, our optimisation engine takes your exact spatial constraints and automatically explores thousands of feasible configurations.

The optimizer systematically varies key design parameters across the full feasible space — the result is a complete map rather than a single predefined solution.

HEAX CHX Pareto Front — NSGA-II multi-objective optimisation: ΔP vs Core Weight
You define
The available space

Envelope, mass budget, ΔP limits, thermal duty, fluids. Your constraints become the search boundary.

THE KNEE REGION
Where we focus
Optimal balance point

The knee of the Pareto curve — where performance, weight, and hydraulic resistance reach their most effective trade-off. Not the lightest. Not the lowest ΔP. The best balance.

We deliver
The design space

Visibility into all the best possible answers — not a single predefined solution. You choose the point on the curve that fits your programme.
