Silicone heat exchanger designation

Polymers are a viable material option for the fabrication of highly efficient low-temperature heat exchangers, designed to withdraw the last portion of energy out of the fuel processor off-gases before releasing them to the environment For small-scale MEMS-like systems, the materials commonly applied in this field are silicon [20, 71] (as a material with high heat conductivity) and silicon nitride [71] (as an insulation material).
