Both brass and stainless steel compression fittings have their own benefits. However, one major benefit is that brass is significantly more corrosion-resistant than stainless steel. In terms of thermal and electrical conductivity, brass outmatches stainless steel by fifteen times.
Since stainless steel pipes are corrosion resistant and will not leach contaminations into the water supply, it makes them far more hygienic for the consumer.
One of the greatest benefits of modern heat exchangers is that they do not rely on additional equipment, such as an air conditioning or air compressing unit, to operate. Therefore, they use significantly less energy and produce little or no pollution compared to more conventional cooling methods.
In performance cars – especially track racers and rally cars – oil cooling is extremely important due to the amount of heat transferring into the fluid from the constant flat-out driving and high-powered engines.
