MCHE

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%
