Original abstract
Polymer hollow-fiber heat exchangers (PHFHEs) have recently attracted great attention because of their light-weight, low material cost, superior resistance to chemical corrosion, and low fouling deterioration as compared with those of metal-based heat exchangers. In this article, the development efforts to reduce the manufacturing cost and to enhance the applicability of the PHFHEs are presented and demonstrated. To streamline the fabrication process for making two popular types of PHFHEs is first illustrated with the goal to reduce their manufacturing cost. The two types of PHFHEs illustrated are for automotive radiators and for solar water heating systems. The manufactured prototypes are then tested and analyzed. The thermal performance results are also compared with their metallic counterpart to demonstrate the versatility of the PHFHEs. All results indicate that the PHFHEs tested are suitable to their respective target applications with much lower manufacturing cost and product weight.
