The Industrial copper tubes and copper pipes that we manufacture for the automobile industry has certain advantages over other metals. Copper had been proved since the early days to have many good attributes. It is easy to bend and has very high corrosion resistance.
Copper's inherent superiority in thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and strength has made it a preferred primary metal for radiators since the dawn of cars and trucks. Now, with new technologies, it can be used to make smaller, lighter and stronger copper radiators. These radiators will be far more environmentally friendly because they are lead free and easier and cleaner to produce.
Additional increased copper content results from a number of accessories being electric instead of hydraulic. Power steering and braking are achieved electrically. The efficiency and performance of these two technologies make them candidates for installation on internal combustion vehicles in the near future. Heating and air conditioning are also achieved electrically and in some cases with a heat pump.
Electric Vehicles and even hybrid Electric Vehicles will use approximately twice as much copper as a conventional vehicles and this will provide the added advantage of excellent recyclability when the vehicle is removed from service.
