Which coil is better for split ac, copper or aluminium?
A coil is an essential part of an air conditioner . Thus, it is important to understand how the coil works. Mostly copper and aluminium coils do the same job in a split AC. However, there are few differences that are noteworthy. The difference lies in heat transmission, durability, and resistance to corrosion (rusting on iron and alloys). Let's discuss a few criterias on which we will further explain the difference along with some pros & cons of copper coil and aluminium coil. Corrosion While corrosion happens in both copper and aluminium coils , the damage causes refrigerant gas leaks that make it thick and muddy, hence making it necessary to protect it. In respect to copper coils, the corrosion is often limited to when oxygen interacts with organic acids and water, hence not very toxic. Corrosion in an aluminium coil is harder to repair since it is caused when two metals collide and form rust like...
