[Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger]Stainless Steel Heat ExchangerThe Difference Between Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger and Copper Heat Exchanger Comparison of Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger and Copper Heat Exchanger
Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger
Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger is the application The heat exchanger made of stainless steel has very good anti-oxidation properties, is safe and hygienic, and is widely used in food, medicine, heating, domestic water, air conditioning return water and other fields. According to the data of the heat exchange equipment promotion center, the heat exchange effect of stainless steel heat exchanger is better than that of traditional carbon steel heat exchanger, and the service life is longer.
Copper Heat Exchanger
Copper has bacteriostatic properties, and the copper surface can quickly inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold, so the copper surface is cleaner and more durable. Easy to clean up. All-copper heat exchangers have better thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. This avoids the musty smells and odors common to air conditioning equipment. Compared with the traditional aluminum fin heat exchanger, the clean all-copper heat exchanger has higher heat transfer efficiency, so the all-copper air-conditioning coil also has the benefit of long-term energy saving.
The difference between stainless steel heat exchanger and copper heat exchanger
First, anti-scaling
Copper pipes are less prone to scaling than stainless steel pipes. This is the biggest difference, not the heat transfer performance and corrosion resistance, which the Chinese people do not realize. To give a simple example, foreign commercial boilers do not have water treatment equipment, but their lifespan is as long as 15 years. The reason is that although water can also form scale on the copper pipe wall, it is only flocculent scale. In this case, as long as the water flow rate is increased, the scale cannot be precipitated.
Second, heat transfer performance
The second is heat transfer performance. The thermal conductivity of copper is higher than that of stainless steel, so the heat transfer coefficient of copper pipes of the same shape is higher than that of stainless steel pipes. Therefore, the heat exchange tubes used in the evaporator condenser are basically made of copper.
Third, strength
The strength of stainless steel is higher than that of copper, so what we see now is the plate heat exchange The plates of the device are all stainless steel (of course not others, such as titanium plates, graphite), but the original plates are also copper.
Fourth, price
Finally, the price of copper is much higher than that of stainless steel.
