Frost formation on heat exchangers, for example, reduces heat transfer efficiency and results in significant economic losses. Moreover, defrosting and de-icing techniques are energy-intensive, requiring large masses of ice to be melted completely and surfaces to be cleaned of leftover water during cyclic operation, making frosting-defrosting a multi-billion-dollar problem in the U.S.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-07-biphilic-surfaces-defrosting-exchangers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Biphilic surfaces reduce defrosting times in heat exchangers<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ice formation and accumulation are challenging concerns for several industrial applications including heating ventilation air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&amp;R) systems, aircraft, energy transmission, and transportation platforms.
