Re: [DMCForum] Aluminum VS Copper Evaporator

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well spotted, Walt :-) It has a higher specific heat capacity than 
aluminium - that's the correct term. In absolute terms, for a given size 
of evaporator, a copper one will have a larger thermal mass which means 
that it'll take longer to cool.
