HVAC & HEAT EXCHANGERS

Using NUCAP’s surface modification delivers significant gains in efficiency for heat exchangers, ranging from 40% to more than 100% (for viscous media, like oils). Increased efficiency makes it possible to save money by reduceing the size and weight of heat exchangers.

Radiant Cooling and Heating

Use of NUCAP’s surface modification allows for the fabrication of composite radiant panels, where enhanced material serves a double role, as radiating surface and as structural binding material. Due to the mechanical bond between the layers of NUCAP’s radiant panels there is no need for glues; this feature totally eliminates generation of volatile chemical vapours , The hooks' penetration of the surface layer of finishing material also increases heat transfer to the surface of the panel.

Heat Exchangers

NUCAP’s enhanced surface material is used in different types of heat exchangers, from large rotary exchangers that are designed for venues like arenas, theatres, and hospitals, to crossflow exchangers used for heat recovery in single family houses, to hydronic plate exchangers used in industrial applications.

Pipes with Enhanced Surface

Pipes and tubes with enhanced surface (both internal and external) can be used in many HVAC applications, Particularly evaporators and condensers, as well for heat exchange in viscous liquids, providing the best results for increased efficiency in the heat exchange process.

NUCAP’s surface modification is exceptionally useful in phase change systems (thermal energy storage, heat pipes). The increased area of heat exchange and the hooks’ “penetration” into the layers of medium (fluid or solid) is paramount for efficiency gains in these systems.
