Abstract: A small-scale exhaust energy recovery system has been designed and tested using MEMS (Micro-Electro Mechanical System) fabrication techniques in combination with Additive Manufacturing. The system extracts thermal energy from low temperature exhaust flows with a porous copper heat exchanger and passes that energy to a unified superheater/boiler.
