COOLING SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING MICRO-CHANNEL COIL WITH COUNTERCURRENT CIRCUIT

摘要

A cooling unit includes a heat exchanger coil positioned coupled to a source of fluid. The heat exchanger includes at least one coil configured to face air being drawn through the heat exchanger. The at least one coil has a first pipe, a second pipe spaced from the first pipe, and a plurality of micro-channels disposed between and in fluid communication with the first pipe and the second pipe. Each of the first pipe, the second pipe and the plurality of micro-channels is configured to enable a countercurrent configuration between inner and outer fluids. Other embodiments of the cooling unit and methods of cooling are further disclosed.
