While conventional heat exchangers use metal as the base material for heat exchanges, the new exchanger, which is a technological breakthrough, is based on a flexible polymer structure. The system is easily arranged in a free flow, typically in an existing wastewater pipeline. The movement of the thermal probes allows up to 30% increase in the power exchanged.
Competitive advantages :
- Inexpensive material (polymer)
- Low operating cost: ease of installation and maintenance (low fouling and resistant to chemical corrosion)
- High modularity, small footprint
- Good thermal efficiency
Applications :
- In existing wastewater pipes
- In a river
- In agroalimentary and chemical processes for example
