Energy-Efficient Compact Heat Exchangers Made of Porous Heat-Conducting Materials by S. N. Osipov, A. V. Zakharenko

“…The method of production of the heat exchanger based on the application of porous-permeable material in the channels of the heat exchange part of recuperative devices is presented; the difference of the method is that the heat exchange part is performed of two or more parallel heat exchange plates with spacing between them. It has been found that a significant increase in the energy efficiency of heat exchangers of this type is possible due to the application of even small discontinuities of the heat-conducting layers of high-porous materials so to use the specific features of increased heat exchange of the initial sections with the flowing fluid. …”
