Researchers have found a way to make ultrathin surface coatings robust enough to survive scratches and dings. The new material, developed by merging thin-film and self-healing technologies, has an almost endless list of potential applications, including self-cleaning, anti-icing, anti-fogging, anti-bacterial, anti-fouling and enhanced heat exchange coatings, researchers said.

“Heat exchangers (HEs) transfer heat from one fluid to another without the fluids coming in direct contact” – (ASHRAE, 2008, Chapter47). An exchange of heat energy taking place between at least two fluids. A fluid of course being a vapour or a liquid or a combination of both.

Scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a simple way to better evaluate the potential of new materials to store or release heat on demand in your home, office, or other building in a way that more efficiently manages the building’s energy use.
Alfa Laval has supplied its newly developed heat exchangers for the advanced cooling system of the world’s fastest supercomputer; the Japanese ‘Fugaku’. Due to its speed of 415 quadrillion computations per second, the computer is used in research for remedies against COVID-19.
