Abstract:
A integrated fluid conduit is provided having two or more internal conduits, the size and shape of the internal conduits is designed to optimize the hydraulic diameter of each conduit based on the needs of the system. The integrated fluid conduit is advantageously manufactured according to additive manufacturing techniques which enable formation of off-center and/or non-concentric internal conduits adapted to specific applications requiring turns such as the fuel delivery system or the hydraulic system of/on a gas turbine engine for an airplane.
