Drawn Polymer Fiber Recuperative Heat Exchangers

Polymer microchannel heat exchangers for use in cryocooler applications have been developed. These heat exchangers are manufactured using a thermal drawing process where a bulk polymer preform is heated and stretched. The process results in channels with a characteristic dimension of 50-100 µm and w...
