3-4. Prepare the Tubing
●
M
aterial: Use seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper
tube for refrigeration. Wall thickness shall comply with the
applicable legislation. The minimal wall thickness must be
in accordance with the table below. For tubes of ø22.22 or
larger, use the material of temper 1/2H or H (Hard copper
tube). Do not bend the hard copper tube.
●
Tubing size
Use the tubing size indicated in the table below.
●
When cutting the tubing, use a tube cutter, and be sure to
remove any burrs.
The same applies to distribution tubing (optional).
●
When bending the tubes, bend each tube using a radius
that is at least 4 times the outer diameter of the tube. When
bending, use sufficient care to avoid crushing or damaging
the tube.
●
For flaring, use a flare tool, and be sure that flaring is
performed correctly.
CAUTION
Use sufficient caution during preparation of the tubing.
Seal the tube ends by means of caps or taping to prevent
dust, moisture, or other foreign substances from entering
the tubes.

3-5. Connect the Tubing
●
When operating the refrigerant tube installation in the
field, do not apply the flame of welding to the surrounding
sheet-metal parts. If necessary, use a wet rag to prevent
overheating of the heat exchanger.
