Abstract
Interconnected, open-celled porous or microporous polymeric foams are used for the preparation of heat transfer devices. The use of such porous polymeric foams can generate a turbulent flow within a heat exchanging liquid, thus enabling increased heat transfer to and from the fluid. The present disclosure provides devices having a heat transfer element containing a heat exchange region wherein a heat exchange fluid can be circulated through a porous polymeric foam; and method for making and using such devices.
