Improving thermal management: Using ceramic coextrusion to fabricate high- temperature heat exchangers
With 80% of industrial heat emissions coming from the burning of fossil fuels, it is no wonder that process heat accounts for approximately 21% of global CO2 emissions.1
A long-term solution to mitigating CO2 emissions from this sector is to find alternative fuels and heat generation sources. However, in the short term, we can mitigate emissions by increasing heat management through improved heat exchanger efficiency.
Heat exchangers transfer thermal energy from one medium to another. By increasing the amount of thermal energy that a heat exchanger can transfer, the overall efficiency increases.
