Pillow-Plate Heat Exchangers: an Overview on Advances, Limitations and Prospects

Pillow-plate heat exchangers (PPHEs) represent an innovative and promising alternative to conventional equipment. The waviness of the pillow-plates promotes lateral mixing and turbulence, which results in a good thermo-hydraulic performance, offering a significant energy-saving potential. Since PPHE...
