MC2's compact heat exchangers use laminated foil construction to reduce the core size and weight of Air/Air, Liquid/Liquid and Liquid/Air heat exchangers.

Advantages of Laminated Foil Heat Exchangers

• Improved Thermal Performance
• Reduced Scale of Passages Yields Higher Heat Transfer Coefficients
• Large Heat Transfer Area Per Unit Volume
• Compact Construction
• 5X Core Depth Reduction Compared to Conventional Concepts
• 3X Weight Reduction
• Robust Construction
• Laminated Foil Heat Exchangers Use a Reinforced, Robust Construction
• Almost Any Metal Can be Used (Cu, Al, SS, Superalloys, etc.)
• Structures Can be:
• Soldered (Low Cost)
• Brazed (for Aluminum)
• Diffusion Bonded (Higher Strength, Longer Fatigue Life, Reduced Corrosion Potential)
