Copper Finned Tubes

Copper and copper-nickel alloys have a high natural resistance to biofouling relative to alternative materials. Copper Heat Exchangers has been proven over many years in sea water pipework and other marine applications. Copper Heat Exchangers alloys resist biofouling in open seas where they do not allow microbial slime to build up and support macrofouling. Some other metals used in heat exchangers, such as steel, titanium and aluminium, foul readily. Protection against biofouling, particularly in marine structures, can be accomplished over long periods of time with copper metals.
