Acoustic degassing heat exchanger

摘要

A fuel delivery system (10) includes a fuel stabilization unit (26) that receives vibratory energy (30) for mixing fuel within fuel passages to improve the removal of dissolved oxygen from an oxygen containing fuel. A vibration generator (32) transmits vibratory energy (30) into the fuel stabilization unit (26) to induce mixing of fuel. Vibratory energy (30) is directed into the fuel to create enhanced mixing by inducing large-scale secondary flow motions that circulates fuel from a center flow area toward an oxygen permeable surface (52) to improve overall fuel deoxygenation as more of the fuel is placed in adjacent contact with the oxygen permeable membranes.
