Plate heat exchanger feature:
1. Braze welding vs expanded tube joint
2. Metallic bonding between Micro channel tubes and fin.
3. Off the shell high performing split A/C system was examined in ARI conditions A, B and C with two condensers: Microchannel flat plate fin.
4. Condenses had the same volume, face, and air side area.
5. Microchannel condenser performed better and consequently system performed better.
6. Average increase in capacity is 4% and in COP IS 17% simuitaneously.
7. Charge reduction is 19% for the condenser and 9% for the system.
8. The MCHX has better corrosion resistance
9. The MCHX is built to last
10. Area available for heat transfer in microchannel HX
 
Plate heat exchanger advantage:
1. Brazed Aluminum construction
2. Combination welded cores-Air&Oil cores
3. Brazed aluminum core/bar and plate
4. Excellent for field conversions
5. Compact design
6. Light weight
7. State-of-the-art heat transfer technology
8. Compact, high performance all aluminum core assembly
9. Designed specifically for rotary screw compressor
10. Eliminates high water and sewer costs
