The company BEKA, producer of capillary tube mats for surface heating and cooling, now offers a newly developed air-to-brine heat-exchanger. The compact heat-exchanger consists of capillary tube mats rolled up with special 3D spacers between the single capillary tubes. This ensures an ideal thermal transfer between air and brine and thus very high abstraction capacity of the heat exchanger. The exchange surface of the capillary tube mats is about 10m².
The capillary heat-exchanger can absorb and release heat and can be used in thermal energy storage such as ice storage or hot water storage systems.
