Refrigerant pipe brazing and safety information
Important information for refrigerant pipe work
Make sure that there is no moisture inside the pipe.
Make sure that there are no foreign materials and impurities in the pipe.
Make sure that there is no leak.
Make sure to follow the instruction when brazing and keeping the pipe.
Nitrogen flushing brazing
Use Nitrogen gas when brazing the pipes as shown in the picture.
If you do not perform nitrogen flushing when brazing the pipes, oxide may form inside the pipe. It can cause the damage
of the important parts such as compressor, valves.
Adjust the flow rate of the Nitrogen flushing with a pressure regulator to maintain 0.05m3/h or less.
