CONDENSER COIL SERVICE
Condenser Coil
The condenser coil is new NOVATION Heat Exchanger
Technol ogy. This is an all--aluminum construction with
louvere d fins over single--depth cr osstubes. The crosstubes
have multiple small passages t hrough which the
refrigerant passes from header to header on each end.
Tubes and fins are both aluminum construction.
Connect ion tube joints are coppe r. The coil may be
one--row or two--row. Two--row coils are spaced apart to
assist in cleaning.
Repairing NOVATION Condenser Tube Leaks
RCD offers servi ce repair kit Part Number 50TJ660007
for repairing tube leaks in the NOVATION coil crosstubes.
This kit includes approved braze mat erials (aluminum flux
core braze rods), a heat shield, a stainless steel brush,
replacement fin segments, adhesive for replacing fin
segments, and instructi ons speci fic to the NOVATION
aluminum coil. See EPIC for instruction sheet
99TA526379.
The repair procedure requires the use of MAPP gas and
torch (must be supplied by servicer) i nstead of
conventional oxyacetylene fuel and torch. While the
flame temperature for MAPP is lower than that of
oxyacetylene (and thus provides more flexibility when
working on aluminum), the flame temperature is still
higher than the melting temperature of aluminum, so user
caution is required. Follow instructions carefully. Use the
heat shield.
Replacing NOVATION Condenser Coil
The service replacement coil is preformed and is equipped
with transition joints with copper stub tubes. When
brazi ng the conne ction j oints to the uni t tubing, use a wet
cloth around the aluminum tube at the transition joint.
Avoid applying torch flame directly onto the aluminum
tubing.
