Step Beyond Conventional Limits

Microchannel Heat Exchanger

Microchannel Heat Exchangers achieve greater overall heat transfer

With all metals, their ability to contain pressure decreases as temperatures increase. If you have a low-pressure application operating at a high temperature, you can get away with traditional heat exchanger technology. But when you are dealing with high temperatures and extremely high pressure, your heat exchanger is truly put to the test. That’s where HRI’s Microchannel Heat Exchanger designs stand out. 

Unwavering
Under Pressure

Microchannel Heat Exchangers are optimized for large pressure imbalance, where one side of the exchanger may be subjected to extremely high pressure and the other side operates at a much lower pressure. This pressure imbalance combined with high temperature poses unique demands that HRI’s Microchannel was made for. Our revolutionary design thrives under lopsided pressure and can be completely customized to handle your unique requirements.
