Mezzo Technologies

Phase change material (PCM) heat exchangers are often used in thermal systems that have cyclic heat rejection requirements. PCM heat exchangers are to a thermal system what a capacitor is to an electrical system or an accumulator is to a hydraulic system. These devices store or release thermal energy through the melting and freezing of PCM. PCMs can be custom tailored to suit the target operating temperature of your system. PCM heat exchangers allow systems to have high-density energy storage over very small temperature ranges by taking advantage of the latent heat associated with melting and freezing of the PCM.

Use of microtubes in industrial shell and tube heat exchangers allows Mezzo to accommodate higher pressures and provide higher effectiveness than traditional shell and tube technology allows. Mezzo has built shell and tube heat exchangers for applications ranging from inch-long oil coolers moving only a few kilowatts, to air-air heat exchangers measuring several feet long, moving more than 1 megawatt. Mezzo is well equipped to provide heat exchangers for the most demanding applications and has experience designing high-temp heat exchangers with working temperatures well over 1000°F and high-pressure heat exchangers that handle up to 8000PSI. The microtubes used are typically 304 stainless steel, but other options are available if your application necessitates different materials. Mezzo shell and tube heat exchangers offer the following performance attributes:

Mezzo oil coolers are incredibly compact and offer lower fluid pressure drops and increased effectiveness over competing designs. Mezzo’s oil coolers can be provided in cylindrical or rectangular packages and are traditionally designed as a cartridge meant to be inserted into a shell. Mezzo can design and source shells as well, if needed. Our oil coolers are very popular in some of the most competitive levels of auto racing. We also make oil coolers for aerospace, commercial transportation, military ground vehicles and many other applications.

Mezzo's microtube coolant-air intercoolers are the highest performing intercoolers in the automotive industry. Multi-pass, cross-flow, counter-flow designs provide effectiveness in the range of 98-99% in real world applications. Like Mezzo’s radiators, Mezzo’s intercoolers provide very low charge air pressure drop for a given heat load. The combination of lower charge temperature and reduced pressure drop give the customer what is needed: more power! The benefit of a Mezzo intercooler is amplified when coupled with a high performance Mezzo intercooler radiator, and a high performance Mezzo engine radiator. By virtue of Mezzo’s heat exchanger’s unsurpassed thermal performance and low pressure drop, the resulting cooling package can be smaller and lighter than a competing air-air intercooler.

Mezzo's microtube radiators are quickly becoming the first choice for engineers seeking performance that exceeds standard tube and fin technology. The remarkably low air side pressure drop of Mezzo's microtube radiators has made them the first choice of the most competitive teams in Formula 1, LMP1, and Indycar. More recently, the benefits of Mezzo heat exchangers have helped to reduce the weight and size of military ground vehicle cooling packs and directed energy applications. Microtube cores also offer remarkable resistance to air-side fouling when compared to tube and fin designs. Mezzo's commitment to the continuous improvement of its radiators' performance and construction has resulted in a deep understanding of how to meet the unique requirements of many industries. Whether your application needs a reduction in pressure drop, frontal area, weight, or increased heat transfer, Mezzo can use its unparalleled understanding of microtubes to give you the competitive advantage.
