Thermal Products

The Delphi Micro Channel Condenser is a highly efficient, compact heat exchanger suitable for outdoor residential cooling units as well as chiller, transport truck, and bottle cooling applications. The coil is specially designed to condense discharge gas, as well as provide liquid subcooling.

The design leverages Delphi's 25 years of experience developing micro channel heat exchangers for automotive air conditioning systems. That same experience and expertise back Delphi's complete lineup of Stationary and Transport Air Conditioning/Refrigerant (STAC/R) products. They include the Delphi Micro Channel Evaporator, which is available now, and the Delphi Micro Channel Heat Pump Coil, which is under development.

Delphi produces more than 37 million heat exchangers every year. A suite of proprietary testing systems provides the ability to model components as well as entire systems. Delphi's heat transfer simulation capabilities help ensure an optimally designed system for nearly any application.

Benefits

• Compact overall design—up to 30 percent smaller and lighter than competitive products
• Compact, reduced coil size meets the market's need for less storage space, easy installation, and aesthetics
• High heat transfer and efficiency
• Aluminum construction yields high durability and is easy to recycle
• Easy to handle, minimizing fin damage and helping enhance field repairability
• Substantial refrigerant charge reduction compared to tube and fin designs, enhancing environmental friendliness and helping reduce operating costs
• Helps original equipment manufacturers meet high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) requirements
  

Typical Applications

The Delphi Micro Channel Condenser is suited for use in:

• Residential air conditioning (outdoor units)
• Commercial cooling applications, including chillers and rooftop units
• Refrigeration applications, including retail food storage and bottle cooling
• Transportation (e.g., refrigerator trucks)

Performance Advantages

The Delphi Micro Channel Condenser, like all Delphi STAC/R products, is constructed of brazed aluminum and is based on the innovative Micro Channel Heat Exchanger (MCHX) technology, which consists of three components:

• A flat micro channel tube
• Fins
• Two refrigerant manifolds joined together in a single coil
  

The design provides greater efficiency than traditional mechanical tube and fin heat exchanger designs.
