The Copper Alliance has organized a series of technical presentations from innovative industry experts who are active in the development of new applications for copper tubes.

A tentative agenda and schedule is given below. For more information, see also the MicroGroove press release from October 31, 2012.

Of special note is the presentation by Matt Holland from Super Radiator Coils, a company now offering heat exchanger coils made from 5-mm copper tubing.

Charles Stout and Christopher Mueller of Mueller Industries will review the limitations of piping systems for containing and conveying refrigerants and show how copper performs in these high pressure applications.

Newell Franks, Chairman and CEO of Burr Oak Tool Inc., will describe equipment for making coils with smaller diameter tubes.

Ed Rottmann from Luvata will discuss new copper alloys for use with various refrigerants.

Finally, Steffen Rieger from Wieland-Werke will describe how to optimize copper tubes for ACR applications.
