COPPER HEAT EXCHANGERS
Copper Heat Exchangers are devices designed to efficiently transfer heat between two fluids or between a fluid and a solid surface. They utilize copper, a highly conductive metal known for its excellent thermal properties. Copper heat exchangers are widely used in various applications due to their corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, and durability. They are commonly found in HVAC systems, refrigeration units, industrial processes, and plumbing systems where efficient heat transfer and reliability are critical.
