Which type of tube is particularly suitable for panel heating and snow melting?

The annealed tube is particularly suitable for applications like panel heating and snow melting due to its unique properties. Annealed copper tubes undergo a heat treatment process that makes them softer and more flexible compared to other types of copper tubing. This flexibility allows the tubes to be bent and shaped easily, which is essential when installing heating systems. The ability to form the tubes into various configurations enables optimal placement within panels or under surfaces for effective heat distribution.

In application scenarios such as snow melting, where precise layout and tight bends may be necessary, annealed tubing is preferred because it can be adjusted without risking cracking or breaking. Furthermore, copper provides excellent thermal conductivity, ensuring efficient heat transfer throughout the system. This combination of flexibility and conductivity makes annealed tubes ideal for use in both panel heating and snow melting systems.
