Copper Tube Straightener Equipment

Copper Tubing is an integral part of any HVAC system. The primary use of copper tubing is to transport water either hot or cold inside buildings and homes. One of the other primary uses of copper tubing is for air-conditioning and refrigeration systems.  Copper tubing is a great choice for an air-conditioning unit because it is resistant to corrosion, machinability, great heat transfer, and also consumption of less refrigerant.

Copper in HVAC Systems

You might be wondering why copper tubing is so integral for HVAC systems. This is due to the copper having exceptional heat transfer properties. Copper has high thermal conductivity, which creates rapid heat exchange for HVAC systems. This material also has corrosion resistance that protects copper from breaking down. This protection is important because the moisture fluctuation in an HVAC system is significant. Copper is also antimicrobial, meaning that bacteria and mold will not be an issue for your system’s hygiene.

Best of all, copper tubing is easy to work with! You can make precise bends and connections with copper compared to other materials. In fact, aluminum was commonly used in HVAC systems until recently.

Reasons To Choose Copper Tube Over Aluminum

At one point, aluminum was used over copper in air-conditioning units. In addition to being less expensive, aluminum also has high transfer properties. However, the downside of the aluminum choice was the high maintenance costs. Aluminum is very hard to repair and most of the time needs to be replaced. Copper tube, on the other hand, is 8 times more durable than aluminum. The best part is that it is also a high thermal conductor.

Copper tubes have replaced aluminum in almost all condenser coils. The copper tubing has proved to be a much better option than its aluminum counterpart. Copper has superior strength, reliability, excellent heat transfer, and ease of repair all better than aluminum.
