Flexer

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.

Applications

• In existing wastewater pipes
• In a river 
• In agroalimentary and chemical processes for example

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
