Abstract: Microchannel heat exchangers have applications in several important and diverse fields including: aerospace; automotive; bioengineering; cooling of gas turbine blades, power and process industries; refrigeration and air conditioning; infrared detectors and powerful laser mirrors and superconductors; microelectronics; and thermal control of film deposition. The advantages of microchannel heat exchangers include high volumetric heat flux, compactness for space-critical applications, robust design, effective flow distribution, and modest pressure drops. This chapter will cover selected industrial examples for microchannel heat exchangers, microchannel heat pipes, and microchannel heat plates.
