Over the last 30 years, a large amount of research on PV-Thermal (PVT) collectors has been
carried out. An overview of this research is presented, both in terms of an historic overview of …

Due to their low cost, light weight and corrosive resistant features, polymer heat exchangers
have been intensively studied by researchers with the aim to replace metallic heat …

Because of their low thermal conductivity, polymers are not commonly considered as a
material to construct heat exchangers, except for specific applications, eg heat recovery from …
