ABSTRACT:
A heat exchanger for use as a condensing heat exchanger in a gas-fired hot air furnace has a ceramic pipe forming an initial portion of a fluid flow path through the heat exchanger. The ceramic pipe receives the combustion gases from a primary heat exchanger and reduces the temperature of the combustion gases to below a certain temperature. A polymer-based structure is connected to the ceramic pipe and forms the remaining portion of the fluid flow path through the heat exchanger. The geometry and orientation of the ceramic pipe is selected so that the certain temperature of the combustion gases exiting the ceramic pipe is less than the softening temperature of the polymer-based structure. The resultant heat exchanger combines the high temperature and corrosion resistance of ceramic materials with the low cost and high corrosion resistance of polymer materials. As a result, a low cost heat exchanger can be produced which can withstand both the high temperatures of the combustion gases as well as the corrosive properties of the condensates from the combustion gases.
