Flexible polymeric hollow fibers are used as heat transfer elements. A potted bundle of several hundred such fibers can be used as a heat exchanger in different ways. The simplest application is a submerged bundle. The fibers studied in this paper have outside diameters below 0.8mm. Such very small-diameter polymer fibers significantly facilitate heat transfer. However, these potted sets of fibers...
