In order to select a new material for a heat exchanger, the frosting behavior of a thermally conductive plastic based on PBT was compared to the frosting behavior of aluminum and three types of plastics based on PTFE. The frosting behavior on the 1 mm thick PBT specimen was similar to that of the aluminum specimen but not that of the pure PTFE specimen. The properties of the frost formed on the specimens were affected by both the thermal conductivity and surface characteristics of the materials. The heat and mass transfer rates of the thermally conductive plastic were almost equivalent to those of the aluminum specimen.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the frosting behavior on the plate of thermally conductive plastic (PBT based resin) by comparing it with those of aluminum and some plastic test specimens (PTFE based resin). It is found that the frosting behavior of plastic specimens with 1 mm thickness shows similar trend to that of aluminum except PTFE. The properties of frost formed on the specimens are found to be affected by both thermal conductivity and surface characteristics of the materials. The results indicate that the heat and mass transfer rates of PBT resin are almost equivalent to those of aluminum.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the frosting behaviors of thermally conductive plastic(PBT based resin) resin by comparing with those of aluminum and some plastic(PTFE based resin) test specimens. It is found that the frosting behavior of plastic specimens with 1 mm thickness show similar trend with aluminum except PTFE. The properties of frost formed on the specimens are affected by both thermal conductivityand surface characteristics (hydrophilic/hydrophobic) of the materials. It can be said that the heat and mass transfer rate of plastic materials are almost equivalent with those of aluminum.
