The industry is ready for a shift
Non-metallic materials, such as polymers, composites, technical ceramics, etc., offer key advantages over metal flow plates:
- Lightweight
- Corrosion-resistant
- Greater design flexibility
But despite their potential, non-metallic flow plates have yet to gain widespread adoption as a viable alternative to metal flow plates in heat exchangers, fuel cells, cooling systems, etc. The primary obstacle is cost – conventional manufacturing processes make non-metallic flow plates prohibitively expensive to produce at scale, reinforcing metal as the dominant material choice.
We make non-metallic flow plates competitive
At Reliefed, we have invented a new way to manufacture non-metallic flow plates of any kind, delivering scalable, cost-effective and high-performance plates.
Our flow plates are used in various applications:
- Heat exchangers
- Fuel cells
- Flow batteries
- Electrolysers
- Cold plates
- Direct air capture systems
