Type of article: Article

Summary

This article comprises a general review on polymer compact heat exchangers (PCHEs). The first part outlines the types of polymers used and their respective characteristics. The second part presents the relative merits and the current PCHEs available in process industries. Recent advances in the field are then addressed and finally, their future applications are discussed. The article concludes with a listing of the potential applications for PFCHE in the process industries, based on the incentive provided by available polymer exchanger designs, particularly those incorporating thin polymer films.
