We are doing air conditioning for ships and as per owner spec, the piping should be copper piping. Is it possible or allowable to use copper pipe. If its yes please let me know the advantages and disadvantages of using it.
Thanks for your reply Mr.cry22(Mechanical) . Yes I accept the cost of the pipe is quite expensive. But the owner is ready to pay. So we don't have any problem.
Another thing to consider is galvanic corrosion. I would think you'd be insulating the HVAC piping anyway, but I imagine you'd want some level of protection against corrosion.
Not having experience with HVAC installations on ship either, hopefully someone with ship experience can weigh in on this factor.
