Abstract: Because of the superior of electronic segments, the heat age is expanding drastically. Heat scattering turns into a noteworthy issue in productivity advancement and stable activity. Microchannel are of current intrigue for use in heat exchangers where exceptionally high heat move execution is wanted. Microchannel give high heat move coefficients in view of their little water powered breadths. In this examination, the structure and trial examination of liquid stream and heat move in a microchannel heat exchanger is directed. Water what's more, air are utilized as the working liquids and moved through micro channels. The heat exchanger has been structured with 6 columns of microchannel for water stream and 7 columns of micro channels for constrained progression of air. The statures of the micro channels are 4 mm and 10 mm separately for water and wind currents. Micro channels are brazed to shape the heat exchanger. For constrained convection cooling with air, a military fan is utilized. A steady heat source has been explicitly intended for tests. Water stream and heat move tests are led on the aluminium microchannel heat exchanger. A test strategy for forcing a steady heat transition to water preceding the passage to the microchannel heat exchanger, to modify the bay temperatures is utilized
