Those involved in industrial process are familiar with waste heat recovery. The chase to capture and reuse excess BTUs in a process, whether from the exhaust stack, a byproduct of exothermic processes or condensing or consolidating from multiple thermal processes, continues to drive technological developments.
When designed with proper consideration of the pressure and temperature limitations, plastic heat exchangers operate reliably while delivering superior chemical resistance and high purity.
Why would thermoplastics —rather poor conductors, or good insulators, depending on your perspective — even be considered a feasible material for heat exchangers?
High temperature circulators help ensure fast heatup times and, with a cooling unit attached, controlling an exotherm and cooling to near ambient temperatures.
The exothermic onset temperature for self-heating is
influenced by the chemical and physical properties such as chemical-reaction
kinetics, thermal conductivity and heat of reaction.
