What You Should Know About Microchannel Condensers
Microchannel is a type of coil which is used as a medium to transfer heat. These can be identified as flat tubes which have fins in-between them in the shape of waves. Today, microchannel condensers are commonly used in almost every automotive industry, radiators, and automotive air cooled condensers.
In recent years, coil technology has increasingly shifted the focus on microchannels in a way to improve thermal performance, corrosion resistance, and reduce refrigerant charge.
These coils are all made with aluminum and contain small (micro) channels which help the refrigerant to flow. Generally, these are in heavy demand due to their superior heat transfer property. Their heat transfer trait allows surface contact between the metal and refrigerant. Moreover, they have smaller refrigerants and are light in weight.
