Which material is the best choice for water pipes in heat exchangers – stainless steel, titanium, or CuNi?

Choosing the right pipe material significantly influences the corrosion resistance, service life, and cost-effectiveness of a heat exchanger. Especially in demanding applications, the pipes must operate reliably over the long term.

An overview:

- Stainless steel: Offers an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, stability, and cost-effectiveness in many industrial applications.

- Titanium: Impresses with its extremely high corrosion resistance; particularly suitable for aggressive media or seawater.

- CuNi (copper-nickel): Traditionally used in marine applications; requires specific material properties and operating conditions.

By selecting the right material, you can sustainably optimize the service life, efficiency, and operational reliability of your heat exchanger.

The right material choice determines the performance of your heat exchanger.
