Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers are produced and distributed by Triangle Tube Products . Although stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, it is also more expensive and has a lower coefficient of heat (transfers less heat) than other metals. So, like most things in life, it's a trade-off between co$t, performance, and longevity. Hope this helps ... If resistence to corrosion is the main priority, Titanium is used.

Stainless steel is commonly used for heat exchangers for its corrosion resistance. However, it can still be susceptible to certain types of corrosion in specific conditions. Additionally, stainless steel can be more expensive than other materials, making it less cost-effective for some applications.
