Abstract: Polymeric hollow-fiber heat exchangers are a sound alternative to metallic plate fin counterparts. Plastic heat exchangers weigh much less, have significantly larger surface area per unit volume, are corrosion/erosion resistant and electrically non-conductive, have a reduced ecological footprint, and are likely to be substantially cheaper.
