Kaltra has recently made a groundbreaking development in its microchannel coil selection software: the integration of an AI-powered design mode, a feature set to launch by the end of 2025. This new ‘AI Mode’ will transform how users approach coil design by providing intelligent, real-time guidance throughout the entire configuration process. Rather than relying solely on manual input and trial-and-error design iterations, users will now be assisted by an advanced algorithm trained to optimise coil parameters based on thermal performance, application type, refrigerant characteristics, physical constraints, and cost-efficiency.
The upcoming AI Mode marks a major leap forward in usability and productivity. Designed with both experienced engineers and less-specialised users in mind, the system will: i) analyse user input and application data, instantly recommending optimal configurations;
ii) suggest design improvements based on best practices and Kaltra’s extensive coil design database; iii) detect inconsistencies or inefficiencies in selections and offer corrective adjustments; and iv) speed up the design process significantly – especially useful for large-scale OEM programs or urgent replacements.
Highlighting the usefulness of the development, Lukas Engelhardt, Business Development Officer at Kaltra, said, “AI Mode will be like having a Kaltra expert sitting next to you. It’s a tool that not only accelerates engineering workflows but also helps our customers build smarter, more efficient systems from the start.”
