The first-generation prototype has already been tested in a car, but
the new type of an exchanger could also be used in air conditioning units, in
battery cooling or in places where a metal radiator is not suitable, for
example, due to corrosion. In their research, the group led by Tereza Kůdelová is
deciding how to use the heat exchanger for the automotive industry. They have completed
their first test drive, where a polymer fibre exchanger was installed instead
of a conventional radiator. It was cooled by air outside, and by a mixture of
circulated water and antifreeze, which is commonly used in cars, inside. Three
companies from the automotive industry and plastics processing are also
involved in the development.
