Microchannel flat tubes have the following characteristics:
1. Efficient heat transfer performance:
High heat transfer coefficient: The internal structure design of microchannel flat tubes enables them to have smaller hydraulic diameters, thinner boundary layers, and a flow state closer to laminar flow in the tube, resulting in faster and more efficient heat transfer. The heat transfer coefficient is significantly improved compared to traditional heat exchange tubes. For example, under the same heat transfer conditions, microchannel flat tubes can achieve higher heat transfer in a shorter period of time.
Uniform temperature distribution: The structural characteristics of microchannel flat tubes make the internal fluid flow more uniform, effectively avoiding situations where local temperatures are too high or too low, thereby achieving a more uniform temperature distribution and improving the stability of heat transfer efficiency.
2. Compact structural design:
Small size: The diameter of microchannel flat tubes is usually small, and the width and thickness of the flat tubes are also relatively small, which makes the structure of the entire heat exchanger more compact and can achieve a larger heat transfer area in a limited space. It is very suitable for applications with high space requirements, such as automotive air conditioning, electronic device heat dissipation, etc.
Lightweight: Due to its compact structure and small size, microchannel flat tubes use relatively less material, resulting in a lighter overall weight that is easy to install and transport, and also meets the requirements of modern equipment for lightweight.
3. Good pressure resistance performance:
High strength materials: Microchannel flat tubes are usually made of high-strength materials such as aluminum alloys, copper, etc., which have high strength and toughness and can withstand high pressure. In some high-pressure working environments, such as the high-pressure side of air conditioning refrigeration systems, microchannel flat tubes can maintain good stability and reliability.
Reasonable structural design: The shape and internal structure design of the flat tube also contribute to improving its pressure resistance performance. For example, the flat shape of a flat tube can increase its stability under pressure, and the internal microchannel structure can disperse pressure and reduce local pressure concentration.
4. Lower refrigerant charge: The internal volume of microchannel flat tubes is relatively small, so the required refrigerant charge in the refrigeration system is also lower. This can not only reduce the cost of using refrigerants, but also minimize their impact on the environment, meeting environmental protection requirements.
5. Good size control:
High precision machining: The production process of microchannel flat tubes requires high-precision machining techniques to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the flat tubes and the internal microchannels. For example, by using excellent extrusion technology, photolithography technology, etc., microchannel flat tubes with very high dimensional accuracy can be manufactured.
Strict quality control: During the production process, the dimensions of microchannel flat tubes are strictly inspected and controlled to ensure that each flat tube meets the design requirements, thereby ensuring the performance and quality of the heat exchanger.
6. Diversified material selection: Microchannel flat tubes can be made of different materials according to different application needs, such as aluminum alloy, which has good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance and is suitable for most heat exchange scenarios; Copper materials have better thermal conductivity, but their cost is relatively high, and they are commonly used in situations where high heat transfer performance is required; Stainless steel materials have good strength and corrosion resistance, and are suitable for some special working environments.
