Aluminium makes up eight percent of the Earth's crust. It is found in a number of everyday objects like beverage cans as well as in higher end objects like aeroplane parts, luxury cars etc. The heating industry makes good use of aluminium because of its flexible and lightweight nature. There is evidence of high levels of interest in the heating industry relating to aluminium, as its highly conductive properties are very attractive to radiator manufacturers and installers.
The Greeks and the Romans first used Aluminium as a dye, but the pure metal form of Aluminium was discovered for the first time in the latter part of the eighteenth century. The pure form aluminium can be elusive and is quite rare. In spite of this, after only fifty years of experiments, aluminium began to slowly make its way into industrial societies.
Today aluminium is used by everyone from packagers to jewellery makers to industrial experts. One of the reasons this metal is so popular is that it is very resistant to corrosion. Corrosion resistance is one of the properties, along with its flexibility and its light weight nature, that make it so easy to recycle again and again.
Over the last few years, manufacturers of central heating equipment have started using aluminium for cooling and heating systems both for domestic and commercial applications. Two of the most popular heating components to recently be switched to aluminium construction are heating coils and copper tubing.
Over the last few years several manufacturers of central heating components have taken up this metal and started building radiators completely out of aluminium. Although still a minority, there are many customers that chose to purchase the aluminium radiators instead of traditional radiators because the aluminium radiators last longer and does not need as many repairs over the years. If the component does need repairing, the repairs can be carried out quickly because of the pliable nature of the metal.
Aluminium windows have also become very popular recently as they can help lower cooling and heating bills. Aluminium windows were designed to regulate a room's temperature by acting as a barrier and preventing the temperature outside from affecting the temperature inside. Research shows that buyers have reported that their heating and cooling bills have dropped drastically. Aluminium can also be used for heating and cooling by using aluminium foil to line ventilation ducts, refrigeration coils and the ventilations grilles in floor panels.
One is one of the most versatile materials in the Earth's crust. The vast deposits of Aluminium and its versatility make it the material of choice for many industrial manufacturers. The heating industry is just one industry that has proven that aluminium can be used for a large variety of products and they have begun using this metal is many applications for domestic and commercial customers.
