Abstract:This article deals with polymer hollow fibre heat exchangers as an alternative to the common metal heat exchangers. These heat exchangers are made of hundreds or even thousands of polymer hollow fibres. The heat exchangers provide such benefits as low weight, corrosion resistance, and easy shaping and machining. Moreover, they are environmentally friendly. These fibres are the key part of such heat exchangers. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure their durability during their lifetime. The paper shows tests th… Show more
