A micro channel heat exchanger (MCHE) is a type of heat exchanger that uses very small channels, typically with dimensions ranging from 0.1 to 2 millimeters, to transfer heat between fluids. The most typical microchannels, are with a hydraulic diameter below 1 mm. Microchannel heat exchangers can be made from metal or ceramic.

Features & Advantages:

• • Microchannel condensers have a number of advantages over traditional finned tube designs that significantly improve HVAC systems’ performance
• • Up to 40% higher heat transfer efficiency
• • Lower airside pressure drops
• • Closer approach temperatures
• • Up to 20% smaller coil face area
• • Less weight – up to 50%
• • Less refrigerant charge: typically 40% to 60%
