    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating latent heat at low temperatures using an exothermic salt crystallization reaction in a supersaturated solution. The method and apparatus includes a supersaturated solution including a salt-based solute in a solvent. In an embodiment, the supersaturated solution is comprised of a salt-based solute of at least 50 wt. % sodium acetate trihydrate in a solvent of 70 vol. % ethylene glycol and 30 vol. % water. The supersaturated solution remains stable at a temperature below a melting point of the salt-based solute and is triggered to crystallize in a controlled manner to generate latent heat. The method and apparatus further including an actuation component, in fluid communication with a lubricating fluid, to initiate an exothermic crystallization response in the supersaturated solution. The supersaturated solution is suitable for use in a heat exchanger apparatus of an engine. The crystallized salt will re-dissolve at elevated temperatures thus allowing for multiple use cycles.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger is provided that can include furcating unit cells coupled with each other. Each of the unit cells can be elongated along an axis and include a sidewall that defines annular ring openings on opposite ends of the unit cell along the axis. The sidewall also can define undulating annular rings between the annular ring openings and axially separated from each other along the axis. The sidewall can further define angled openings into the unit cell both above and below each of the undulating annular rings. At least a first opening of the annular ring openings and the angled openings can be configured to be an inlet to receive a first fluid into the unit cell and at least a second opening of the annular ring openings and the angled openings configured to be an outlet through which the first fluid exits the unit cell.
