Copper and aluminum radiator advantages and maintenance

Steel radiators and copper-aluminum composite radiators are the two main types of heating systems produced by Shanghai Darui. These radiators are widely used in residential heating applications across China. In this article, we will introduce the features, advantages, and maintenance tips for both steel and copper-aluminum composite radiators from Shanghai Darui.

Steel Radiators

When it comes to maintenance, steel radiators should be kept filled with water after the heating season ends. This means closing the return valve first, then opening the bleed valve to release any trapped air, and finally closing the water valve. This practice helps prevent corrosion and ensures long-term performance.

Steel radiators offer several benefits. They provide fast and even heat distribution, have good pressure resistance, and are resistant to alkali and corrosion. Their sleek design makes them a popular choice for modern homes. Additionally, they are safe, pollution-free, and come in various styles. Their lightweight nature also makes them easy to install and transport.

Copper-Aluminum Composite Radiators

Copper-aluminum composite radiators are known for their excellent corrosion resistance. The internal structure is made of copper tubes, which allow the heat medium to flow without causing alkalization or oxidation. This makes them ideal for areas with hard water or complex heating systems. Unlike steel radiators, they do not require full water maintenance, making them more convenient for users.

One of the key advantages of copper-aluminum composite radiators is that they can handle a wide range of pH levels in the system water. The copper core provides strong oxidation resistance, while the aluminum outer layer enhances heat dissipation. This combination results in efficient and durable heating performance. Moreover, the copper pipes used in these radiators offer superior pressure resistance and thermal conductivity, ensuring longer service life compared to standard steel pipes. The lightweight and compact design also makes them space-efficient and energy-efficient.

While copper-aluminum composite radiators may seem more expensive than other options, it's worth noting that the price difference between low-carbon steel and copper-aluminum composites is not always significant. However, the long-term benefits of using copper, such as its resistance to corrosion and high thermal efficiency, make it a smart investment for many homeowners. As the market price of copper continues to fluctuate, it’s important to consider the value and performance when making a purchase decision.
