The ever-growing demand of air conditioning system in commercial and household applications emphasis on long-term material’s stability. Material’s failure in air conditioning system due to temperature variance and heat flow causing reduction in cooling effect of the system. Considerable amount of heat waste in evaporator coil as a result of low thermal transitions through coils material resulting reduction in overall efficiency of the system. This paper provide a CES Granta’s design software-based approach being followed to select appropriate material for evaporator coil in air conditioning system. Cast iron, pure titanium, copper, low alloy steel, Stainless steel, and nickel-chromium alloys are the shortlisted candidate for evaporator coil based on design and functional requirements. Low alloy steel, titanium, and stainless steel are the top suitable candidate among which stainless steel shows promising attributes for evaporator coil in air conditioning system. This paper will help the researchers, engineers, and designers to better understand the methodology of selecting a stainless steel in evaporator system to control corrosion and provide high- temperature-resistance.
