Commercial and
Residential Air Conditioning
Air-conditioning market has been evolving dramatically over the past decades. The most important factors on system design and alternative technologies are:
- Legislation and phase-out schedules for ozone depleting refrigerants
- Increased demand for comfort cooling
- Rising energy costs
- Regulations on energy efficiency
There are multiple ways to improve the efficiency of a given air-conditioning system. A minimization of the temperature difference between the airflows and the phase change temperatures of the refrigerants can be achieved by increasing the heat transfer surface area or by improving the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchangers. Brazed microchannel heat exchangers have already proven that they are able to provide an elegant and cost effective solution for the utilization of this optimization potential – while also providing a number of other benefits.
Why brazed heat exchangers?
- Improved heat transfer performance
- Pressure drop reduction
- Refrigerant charge reduction
- Reliability in performance
- Recycling advantages
- Noise reduction
- Lower weight
