MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611049874 A) filed by Manav Rachna University, Faridabad, Haryana, on April 20, for 'heat-exchanger coating system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Piyush Mahendru; Dr. Prashant Bhardwaj; Dr. Jimmy Mehta; Dr. Pradeep Kr Mouria; and Dr. Gianender Kajal.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed is a heat-exchanger coating system for an HVAC unit. The system comprises a heat-exchanger substrate, a base layer disposed on the heat-exchanger substrate and comprising carbide particles, boride particles, or high-entropy alloy particles, an intermediate layer disposed on the base layer and comprising graphene or carbon nanotubes, and a top layer disposed on the intermediate layer and comprising titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The base layer protects the heat-exchanger substrate against erosion and corrosion. The intermediate layer conducts heat through the coating system. The top layer provides hydrophobic surface behavior and photocatalytic decomposition of organic contaminants deposited on the coating system. The layered arrangement supports reduced fouling, improved thermal transfer, and longer operational life of heat exchangers used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems."
