Selecting the right one can feel like wading through a cold fog. Fear not, for The Pipe Company is here to help you navigate the frosty waters and choose the perfect conduits for your chilled system:
1. Copper: Durable, an excellent heat transfer, and resistance to corrosion.
2. Stainless steel: Unmatched strength, corrosion resistance, and weld-ability, makes it ideal for demanding applications.
3. Carbon steel: A budget-friendly choice with decent durability and heat transfer.
4. Polyethylene (PE): Lightweight and adaptable, chemical resistant and flexible.
5. Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX): Temperature resistant and flexible.
The ideal choice hinges on several factors
Budget: Cost plays a critical role, but remember, upfront savings might translate to higher long-term expenses due to maintenance or shorter lifespans.
System demands: Consider factors like operating pressure, temperature range, and specific fluid compatibility.
Installation challenges: Flexibility and ease of installation might be crucial in scenarios with complex layouts or tight spaces.
