Abstract

A Micro-channel heat exchanger gradually replaces traditional heat exchanger with the advantages of high heat exchange efficiency, fast heating speed, good controllability, low noise, stable operation, good pressure bearing capacity and cost saving. The thesis summarizes the research progress and development prospects of the microchannel heat exchanger.Summarized and elaborated on the unparalleled advantages of microchannel heat exchangers compared to conventional sized equipment which is compared with the regular size equipment. Moreover application fields and prospects of the microchannel heat exchanger are analyzed from the point of energy saving and space occupancy.The thesis has some reference value for the research of micro heat exchangers.
