  1. POLYMERIC MATERIALS USED AS HEAT EXCHANGERS • PVDF • NYLON 6 • PTFE • PEEK

  2. Potential Advantages of Polymer Heat Exchangers • Resistance to Corrosion • Resistance to Fouling • Light Weight • Cost Benefits

  3. Potential Applications of Polymer Heat Exchangers • Heating and Cooling in Electroplating and Anodizing Processes • (Currently tubular PTFE exchangers are used) • Heating and Cooling Applications in Sulphuric Acid Plants • Bromine Recovery systems • Acid Dilution systems for the battery industry • Secondary heat exchanger in Condensing gas boilers • Flue gas heat recovery systems • Aviation and Automobile Industry • Air conditioning systems

  4. Continued • Convective Heat Transfer & Pressure Drop Characteristics • (Air / Air , Water / Water, Air / Water) • Effect of Angle of Cross Corrugation • Effect of Pr Number • Condensation in the presence of non- condensibles • Mass transfer studies • Flow visualisation studies
