Abstract
There are two ways in which ceramic materials may be of interest for the design of heat exchangers. In the high-temperature range above 800°C new opportunities open up for the recovery of heat energy from waste heat in industrial processes. On the other hand the high corrosion resistance of ceramic materials offers alternative possibilities in the low-temperature range as condensing heat exchangers. Increasing the service life and carrying out processes which are not possible or not economic with conventional materials are further arguments in favour of the application of ceramics in heat exchanger design.1 Opportunities lie, for example, in widening the temperature limits of metals, graphite, of PTFE and glass.
