Industrial heat exchangers need to be more compact, have reduced temperature differences between hot and cold streams, minimal external energy losses and improved thermal recovery to make U.S. industrial processes more efficient and competitive. Under the proposed Phase III effort, the WASHEX manufacturing process will be refined, multiple test articles will be produced, and the test articles will be tested in the laboratory to show both integrity and heat transfer performance. Importantly, the proven test articles will then be installed in two different industrial chillers, and the units tested to demonstrate how WASHEX can benefit commercial products, like chillers.
