Piping
It is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as
copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust during installation.
1. All joints are brazed in the field. Multi V Space II refrigeration system components contain very small capillary tubes, small orifices,
electronic expansion valves, oil separators, and heat exchangers that can easily become blocked. Proper system operation depends on
the installer using best practices and utmost care while assembling the piping system.
•
Store pipe stock in a dry place; keep stored pipe capped and clean.
•
Blow clean all pipe sections with dry nitrogen prior to assembly.
2. Proper system operation depends on the installer using best practices and the utmost care while assembling the piping system.
•
Use adapters to assemble different sizes of pipe.
•
Always use a non-oxidizing material for brazing. Do not use flux, soft solder, or anti-oxidant agents. If the proper material is not used,
oxidized film may accumulate and clog or damage the compressors. Flux can harm the copper piping or refrigerant oil.
•
Use a tubing cutter, do not use a saw to cut pipe. De-bur and clean all cuts before assembly.
3. Brazing joints:
•
Use a dry nitrogen purge operating at a minimum pressure of three (3) psig and maintain a steady flow.
•
Use a 15% silver phosphorous copper brazing alloy to avoid overheating and produce good flow.
•
Protect isolation valves, electronic expansion valves, and other heat-sensitive control components from excessive heat with a wet rag or
heat barrier spray.
