HEAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HYDROGEN-FUELED ENGINE

A heat management system (100,200) for a thermal engine (10) includes a source of hydrogen (104,204), a first hydrogen conduit (102,202) flowing a first flow of hydrogen therethrough, the first hydrogen conduit (102,202) fluidly coupling the source of hydrogen (104,204) to a fuel system (106,206) of the thermal engine (10), and a second hydrogen conduit (110,216) flowing a second flow of hydrogen therethrough. The second hydrogen conduit (110,216) is in thermal communication with an engine exhaust conduit (118,220) to transfer heat from the engine exhaust conduit (118,220) to the second hydrogen conduit (110,216). The second hydrogen conduit (110,216) is also in thermal communication with the first hydrogen conduit (102,202) to transfer heat from the second hydrogen conduit (110,216) to the first hydrogen conduit (102,202).
