Copper tubes are the "blood vessels" of the refrigeration system, mainly used in condensers, evaporators and connecting pipelines. Its high thermal conductivity (with a thermal conductivity coefficient of approximately 400 W/m·K) enables rapid heat transfer, enhancing the energy efficiency ratio of air conditioners and refrigerators. The promotion of environmentally friendly refrigerants such as R410A has further driven the development of copper tubes towards high pressure resistance, thin-walled and lightweight. Industry standards such as ASTM B280 (Copper Tubes for Air Conditioning) have strict regulations on indicators such as cleanliness and tensile strength to avoid refrigerant leakage and system blockage.
How do the thermal and electrical conductivity of H65 (C27000) Brass Tubes compare to other alloy materials?
H65 (C27000) Brass Tubes exhibit above-average performance in terms of thermal and electrical conductivity, making them particularly suitable for applications requiring both good thermal conductivity and a certain level of corrosion resistance. As an alloy of copper and zinc, H65 (C27000) Brass Tubes inherit the excellent thermal and electrical conductivity of copper, while the addition of zinc improves its strength and machinability. Although the thermal and electrical conductivity of H65 brass is lower than that of pure copper, it still demonstrates good performance in many engineering applications.
Thermal Conductivity:
The thermal conductivity of H65 (C27000) Brass Tubes is typically between 150-200 W/m·K, which is slightly lower than pure copper (approximately 398 W/m·K) and aluminum (approximately 205 W/m·K). Despite the lower thermal conductivity, H65 (C27000) Brass Tubes still provide sufficient heat transfer efficiency in most heat exchange applications. In heat exchangers, condensers, and other equipment requiring efficient heat dissipation, H65 (C27000) Brass Tubes can meet heat dissipation requirements while offering superior corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties.
Electrical Conductivity:
The electrical conductivity of H65 (C27000) Brass Tubes is generally about 30-40% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), significantly lower than pure copper (approximately 100% IACS), but still relatively good compared to other alloy materials (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloys). The electrical conductivity of brass tubes makes them suitable for some electrical equipment, especially in electrical connections, grounding systems, and environments requiring low resistance, providing a reliable conductive path.
It's important to note that due to the addition of zinc, the electrical conductivity of brass tubes is not as high as that of pure copper. Therefore, in applications requiring extremely high electrical conductivity (such as power transmission systems), pure copper materials may be more suitable. However, for applications that do not require extremely high conductivity, H65 (C27000) Brass Tube can provide sufficient conductivity while offering better mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
Comparison with other alloy materials:
Compared to aluminum alloys, H65 (C27000) Brass Tube is slightly inferior in thermal conductivity, but its superior corrosion resistance, higher strength, and wear resistance make it more suitable for environments requiring resistance to high temperatures and chemical media. Compared to stainless steel, H65 (C27000) Brass Tube has advantages in electrical and thermal conductivity, but stainless steel is more outstanding in stability and oxidation resistance under high pressure and high temperature environments. Therefore, H65 (C27000) Brass Tube is an ideal material for applications requiring heat exchange, electrical connections, and high corrosion resistance.
