This also applies to the production of innovative hydrogen coolers (recuperators). To improve the efficiency of hydrogen coolers, heat transfer and heat flux can be increased by tube structures made by pressing spherical elements on their surface. Hydrogen is passed through the tubes of the recuperators and the cooling medium flows across it (Figure 1a). The tube serves as an atmosphere separator. Structured tubes can increase the power den-sity with the same dimensions. Figure 1b shows a process for introducing the structure into the pipe using radially and symmetrically arranged tools. Sheet metal forming usually involves pressing with structural tools, bending into a tube, and longitudinally welding. However, producing small tube diameters in the range of one inch presents a technical challenge. The challenge considered in this paper is to develop a new structuring process while maintaining the structural integrity and wall thickness of the tubes. This study aims to determine the feasibility of a multi-stage vault structuring process for recuperator tubes us-ing heat-resistant semi-finished products.
