Direct Expansion System

DC-Powered Direct Refrigeration, the World's Smallest Cooling Systems

Direct Expansion systems are designed to satisfy the growing market that wants the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, to meet their compact device’s direct refrigerant cooling requirement. It is known as Direct Refrigerant cooling or Refrigerant circulating systems or DC condensing units.

The main components of the dc refrigeration system is a miniature rotary compressor, condenser, expansion valve(capillary), driver board, filter drier, and other refrigeration parts. The mini dc compressor is the heart of the system.

Driven by the micro refrigeration compressor, the refrigerant flows directly through the cold plate(acting as an evaporator) with circulation. The advantages are substantial. it eliminates the use of secondary coolant, instead, the refrigerant absorbs heat directly at the heat source through a contact heat exchanger(cold plate).

Refrigerant Circulating Systems

In the direct expansion unit, there is no need for a liquid pump, water tank, associated tubing, and connector and tubing- sources of failure and leaks. The DX cooling system only needs a minimal parts. This method minimizes the size and component count of the system and maximizes the highest efficiency and capacity.

Compared to commercial liquid coolers, MOIR’s direct expansion evaporator system is as much as 20 times smaller and 20 times lighter.  The cooling capacity for direct expansion cooling is 45% greater than that of a liquid cooler.

Due to the elimination of the liquid pump and the secondary coolant loop, the compact dc condensing unit is greatly improving reliability with a long lifetime exceeding 90,000 hours.

Direct Expansion Cooling Applications

Due to the elimination of the liquid pump and the secondary liquid loop, the dx cooling unit minimizes its size and components that providing much smaller, lighter and higher reliable characteristics. Compared to the normal commercial water chillers, the direct expansion cooling installation work becomes easier and saves cost of the entire system for the users. It greatly simplifies the configuration of the cooling system and provides the highest efficiency. Nowadays direct refrigerant cooling units have been growing rapidly and are used across a wide range of applications because of their simplicity, reliability and low comsumption. For example, mini-freezer, precise instruments, lasers, medical, commercial and other active thermal solutions, where the cold plate is mounte on it directly.
