Abstract

Micro-channel heat exchanger(MCHX) has been increasingly applied in HVAC&R(Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning & Refrigeration) field due to its higher efficiently heat transfer rate, more compact structure, lower cost. The characteristics of micro-channel heat transfer and fluid dynamics are summarized in this paper. The methods about optimizations (ie, geometry and thermodynamic performance) and the advantages and disadvantages of the MCHX are analyzed.
