Copper Coil INSIGHTRecold
OverviewCopper heat-exchange coils, used in every Recold Fluid Cooler and Evaporative Condenser, provide many distinct advantages.
Primary Benefits• Halfthecorrosionrateofcarbonsteelinclosed
systems, translates into potentially longer product life
• Seventimesgreaterthermalconductivitythancarbonsteel,allowsforsmallerequipmentsizeandlessequipmentweight
• Easiersystemcircuitchangesorrepairs,withnoweldingrequired
• Greenerproduct
Benefit DetailLonger Equipment Life:
