TKMicro®<\/sup> microchannel heat exchangers are widely recognized as an efficient technology with thousands of successful worldwide installations in most of HVAC\/R application fields. Since 2010, ThermoKey has manufactured condenser and water microchannel cores<\/strong> leading in Europe a technological transition from traditional round-tube Cu-Al heat exchangers.<\/p>\n

TKMicro®<\/sup> is an opportunity for the OEMs to change over to more efficient heat transfer solutions<\/strong>, to lighter assemblies and to more environmental-friendly units thanks to the lower refrigerant charge (up to 80%)<\/strong> and pressure drop on both air and refrigerant sides<\/strong>. This trend is not only an undeniable opportunity for the market, but a concrete response with immediate impact to the present climate change. In short, TKMicro®<\/sup> is a green technology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But that’s not enough. Most of the well-known advantages of TKMicro®<\/sup> are connected to the operation performance, but behind this product there is more to tell.<\/p>\n

TKMicro®<\/sup> is 100%-made by primary aluminum<\/strong>. In Europe the carbon intensity connected to its production process decreased by -21% vs 2010 and by -55% vs 1990, reaching today an average of 6.7 kgCO2<\/sub>,eq for 1 kg of primary aluminum. Average greenhouse emissions at global scale are in the range of 17 kgCO2<\/sub>,eq\/kg Al, where coal base productions typical of China and Middle East regions reach up to 20 kgCO2<\/sub>,eq\/kg Al (source: Aluminum Environmental Profile Report, 2018).<\/p>\n

Aluminum is a circular material<\/strong>, capable of being recycled repeatedly and able to keep all its original properties<\/strong> (light weight, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, strength at low temperatures, formability). In Europe, the recycling rates are over 90% in the automotive and building sectors, and 75% for aluminum cans. The aluminum recycling process saves 95% of the energy needed to produce the primary metal<\/strong> (source: European Aluminum).<\/p>\n

It is foreseen that the worldwide demand of semi-fabricated aluminum by 2050 will increase up +39% (source: CRU 2018).<\/p>\n

Under such scenarios it is essential to strengthen synergies among stakeholders of the whole aluminum value chain promoting the adoption of a European circular economy policy. This will impact positively not only on environmental indicators but also it represents a strategic opportunity for meeting forthcoming demand through European recycled Aluminum. In this context the HVAC\/R market will play a major role.<\/p>\n

TKMicro®<\/sup> reflects the brand’s values we at ThermoKey<\/strong> try to follow daily and want more and more to pursue. We feel committed to work together with our suppliers, clients and project partners in order to substantially contribute for a real European Green Deal<\/strong>. We put at disposal our know-how and expertise for designing together more efficient solutions that can improve everyday life.<\/p>\n
