What is a microchannel tube?
Microchannel aluminum flat tube (also known as “parallel flow aluminum flat tube or porous extruded tube”) is a thin-walled porous flat tubular material made of refined aluminum rods, through hot extrusion, and surface zinc spraying anti-corrosion treatment. Microchannel tubes are flat, rectangular and contain multiple channels. Since these channels have a higher surface area to volume ratio, they increase the heat transfer rate. Microchannel tubes are made in various sizes and aluminum alloys to ensure that they have the right characteristics for the application.
Microchannel tubes are mainly used in refrigerators, air conditioners, condensers, freezers, evaporators, gas stoves, automotive radiators, heat exchangers, HVAC and refrigeration systems, infrared detectors, microelectronics, power and process industries, aerospace, bioengineering, and powerful laser reflectors.
How Do You Manufacture Aluminum Microchannel Tube?
The aluminum parallel flow micro channel flat tube manufacturing process includes the following:
1. Collecting Aluminum Rods
In this stage, you will collect all the aluminum metal and then start the manufacturing process.
2. Cleaning Surface Impurities
Once you have enough aluminum, you need to clean it to remove any impurities that are stuck to the surface.
This will ensure the quality of the final product.
3. Heating Aluminum Rods
In this stage, aluminum undergoes thermal expansion because heat increases the vibration of atoms inside the metal.
This causes the aluminum to expand, increasing its length, volume, and surface area.
In addition, this process allows you to mold the aluminum into the desired shape.
4. Die Preparation and Heating
This process is required to make the aluminum ductile so that it is ready for the extrusion process.
In addition, this process allows the aluminum to be formed without breaking or cracking.
5. Extrusion
In this stage, you will extrude the aluminum alloy through a die.
The die has a specific cross-sectional profile that allows the aluminum to take the shape of the die.
6. Arc Zinc Spraying
This process helps you to coat the aluminum with zinc, which enhances its rust and corrosion resistance.
7. Cooling and Rewinding
In this stage, you will arrange and wind the wire on the aluminum to prepare it for the next stage.
8. Semi-finished Products
In this stage, the microchannel tube is still in its raw state and needs to be cut to specific sizes.
9. Straightening and Cutting
In this stage, you need to ensure that the microchannel tube is straight before cutting it to the required size.
10. Finished Product Shaping
In this stage, you need to ensure that the final product has the correct size and specifications before shipping.
11. Packaging
After the final product passes the inspection, you will package it and prepare it for shipping.

What Are The Benefits Of Microchannel Aluminum Tubes?
There are several benefits to using microchannel tubes in your applications:
1. Improved Heat Transfer Efficiency
Microchannel tubes have a high surface area to volume ratio.
This difference increases their efficiency in transferring heat from a heat source.
2. Low Material Cost
Aluminum is a readily available material that costs less than other types of metals.
This makes the cost of manufacturing microchannel tubes more reasonable than other competing materials.
3. Lightweight
Aluminum is lightweight compared to steel or other metals.
This allows you to use microchannel tubes in a variety of applications, as they do not significantly increase the overall weight of the product.
Microchannel tubes can be installed within the available space without making the product heavy.
4. Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum is corrosion resistant, making it ideal for manufacturing microchannel tubes.
This property makes it last for years and is a great value for money.
5. High Precision
Microchannel tubes have precise shapes and configurations that effectively dissipate heat.
6. High Surface Finish
Microchannel tubes are available in a variety of surface finishes to enhance the appearance and protective properties of your product.
