Air conditioner foils are typically made from aluminum alloys due to their lightweight, excellent thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance properties. Two commonly used aluminum alloy numbers for air conditioner foils are:
Aluminum Alloy 1100: This alloy is commercially pure aluminum and is often used in air conditioner fins and foils due to its high thermal conductivity and good formability.
Aluminum Alloy 8011: This alloy is a wrought alloy and is also commonly used for air conditioner foils. It offers good strength and formability, making it suitable for thin gauge foils used in various air conditioning applications.
These alloys are preferred for their specific properties that make them well-suited for heat transfer and efficient cooling in air conditioning systems. Different manufacturers may use slightly different alloys based on their specific requirements, but these two are among the most widely used in the industry.
