We normally use stainless steel piping/tubing for DI water applications.

>Gentlemen:

please share your thoughts on the following:

>a customer has an "fin fan" cooler (basically a car radiator) that is
overloaded. he can increase gas recovery if he can improve the heat rejection of this device. rather than increasing surface area, he has asked us to explore spraying water on this radiator to increase heat transfer.

>we are in a very dry environment, we have deionized water available, and
the materials of construction are carbon steel tubes and aluminum fins.

what do you guys think?
