Heat Transfer Characteristics of Metal Foams and Their Application Exploration in the HVAC Industry
Metal foams, due to their unique structural properties (e.g., high porosity, large specific surface area, high thermal conductivity) and multifunctionality, exhibit significant application potential in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry.
Application of Foamed Metals as Functional Materials
Utilizing the lightweight, high specific energy, and high absorption-conversion efficiency of porous lead foam, it serves as grid material for lead-acid batteries. Active materials are uniformly coated within the pores of lead foam to create battery electrodes. The three-dimensional network structure of lead foam grids improves current distribution, reduces internal resistance, enhances reaction kinetics, and increases specific capacity and energy density. High-porosity metal foams produced via powder metallurgy have been successfully applied in fuel cells.
