Carrier Air Conditioning - Micro-channel heat exchangers
extended from Aquaforce to Aquasnap by Carrier
Enhanced corrosion resistance and extra efficiency
are to be offered on Carrier’s established and popular
Aquasnap chiller range with the substitution of the
highly effective all-aluminium micro-channel heat
exchanger (MCHX) technology in place of traditional heat
exchangers.
Conventional copper/aluminium coils will still be
available on some units as a factory-fitted option but
the efficiency of the new technology is such that
Carrier expects only limited requests for this once the
market has adjusted to the change.
The MCHX technology has proven to be a great success on
Carrier’s Aquaforce range of chillers. This
micro-channel heat exchange technology has been widely
used in the automotive industry for some years, but
Carrier’s use of it in the Aquaforce was the first time
it has been applied in large chillers.
MCHX has been shown in field trials and customer
installations to increase heat transfer efficiency. The
all-aluminium, brazed construction coils provide
enhanced reliability through improved corrosion
resistance. The overall weight of the chiller is also
reduced.
Perhaps most importantly of all, condenser coils with
micro-channels require up to 40 percent less
refrigerant, further improving the environmental
qualifications of this technology and Carrier’s chiller
range.
