MICROCHANNEL FLUID COILS HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN Microchannel coil is designed with the fluid inlet and outlet round tube manifolds and flat multiport tubes extending between them, and airside fins of louvered or flat design. Components of the coil are metallurgically bonded together using controlled-atmosphere brazing (CAB) furnace. Depending on application requirements, design engineers may pick up the suitable flat-tube size and configuration, manifold diameter and wall thickness, type of airside fins, fluid connections, type and location of mountings. Protective anti-corrosion surface coatings,...

To achieve the highest product performances, Kaltra uses aluminum alloys and clads of series...

MICROCHANNEL FLUID COILS Microchannel Tubes Heat exchangers can be configured and manufactured with flat microchannel tubes - also referred to as multiport extrusion (MPE) tubes - of different widths, geometry, port quantity, and port sizes, depending on customer requirements, fluid type, and performance demands. Standard or long-life aluminum alloys are the materials for microchannel tubes used in the manufacturing of Kaltra heat exchangers. High manganese-containing, zinc-coated long-life alloys exhibit excellent corrosion properties thanks to the formation of dense band of precipitates (DBP)....

MICROCHANNEL FLUID COILS Louvered Fins The louvered fins enhance the heat transfer by providing multiple flat-plate leading edges with their associated high values of heat transfer coefficient. Louvered fins enhance heat transfer by a factor of 2 to 3 compared with equivalent flat surfaces. The louvers have the further advantage that the enhancement of heat transfer is gained without a significant increase in flow resistance. In louvered fins, fin height, louver angle, number of louvers, louver pitch and fin geometry as a whole are selected for an optimum balance of heat transfer and air resistance....
