Many people do not understand why the current air conditioners use copper pipes instead of stainless steel pipes for central air conditioners. Let's compare the differences between copper pipes and stainless steel pipes for central air conditioners, which is why most air conditioners now use copper pipes for central air conditioners.
1. Corrosion resistance. Copper pipes of central air conditioners have corrosion resistance, while stainless steel pipes cannot. Maybe many people have a misunderstanding that stainless steel will not be corroded. Although stainless steel is corrosion-resistant in atmosphere and weak corrosion medium, it will still be corroded after a long time.
2. Physical properties. Central air conditioning copper pipe has perfect physical properties and extremely high pressure bearing characteristics, while stainless steel has weaker physical properties.
3. Construction technology. As the copper pipes for central air conditioners are widely used, no matter the water system and air conditioning system of the building, every construction contractor or household appliance repairer has skilled workers who can weld the copper pipes for central air conditioners, and any experienced plumber can operate independently. Therefore, the welding quality and cost control of air conditioning copper pipes are the most effective, while the construction technology of stainless steel is subject to product quality.
4. Service life. The service life of connecting pipe of central air conditioner is longer than that of stainless steel.
5. Environmental protection. Since there is no visible consumption during the use of central air-conditioning refrigeration copper tubes, there is no environmental pollution, while the production of stainless steel will pollute the environment.
