Advanced Materials For Condensing Heat Transfer

Geothermal energy is an excellent source of renewable clean power generation, as well as for heating and cooling. Unlike other renewable energy sources, it is unaffected by local climate conditions. However, the heat exchangers used in geothermal power plants are under constant threat of scale formation and corrosion due to the harsh operational conditions to which they are exposed. Therefore, surface modifications to heat exchanger materials, for example through coatings, are necessary to improving the efficiency and durability of geothermal plant.v

The wetting of solids by liquids is an important consideration for heat exchangers as it can have a dramatic impact on heat transfer efficiency. The use of superhygrophobic materials, surfaces or coatings is expected to give rise to next-generation high efficiency heat exchanger designs, and this is particularly the case for geothermal heat exchangers where heat exchanger materials interact with highly corrosive fluids.
