In the air conditioning system, the main refrigeration components through which the refrigerant flows, such as heat exchangers, valves, and compressors, are connected. The refrigerant pipes are usually made of copper.

The air conditioning system delivers cold or hot air to the end, and there are several ways to deliver it based on the medium used. One is to directly supply air, another is to deliver cold/hot water, and the other is to directly deliver refrigerant.

1. Go refrigerant

Regarding systems that directly use refrigerant, such as VRV systems, the refrigerant pipeline will enter the air conditioning space directly, connecting the outdoor unit and indoor unit.

2. Air supply and hot and cold water

If it is a system that directly supplies air and ensures the supply of hot and cold water, the refrigerant pipeline is usually concentrated near the left side of the main engine.

If it is a dual supply system, the refrigerant pipeline is located in the outdoor main unit, and the water pipe connecting the indoor and outdoor areas is for carrying the cooling effect.

If the refrigerant pipeline is too long, the contraction valve usually needs to adopt an external balance view to cope with the pressure drop from the evaporator inlet to the compressor suction port.

Why do air conditioners use copper pipes?

01. The connection between the indoor unit and outdoor unit of the ordinary split air conditioner requires the connection data to be stopped. The commonly used materials for connecting indoor and outdoor air conditioning units are copper and aluminum pipes.

At present, the commonly used air conditioning connection data is air conditioning copper pipes. Why? This is because the refrigerant needs to absorb heat in the evaporator and then release it in the condenser. The refrigerant pipe of the air conditioner also needs to be connected to the heat sink outside, and the refrigerant passes through the connecting pipe.

Furthermore, copper pipes have high pressure resistance, are not easily corroded, and have a longer service life than aluminum pipes; The thermal conductivity of refrigeration copper pipes is much better than that of aluminum pipes, and their welding performance and mechanical strength are also much better than aluminum pipes. However, the price of air conditioning copper pipes is slightly higher than that of aluminum pipes.

So, the quality of the copper pipes used for this refrigerant directly affects the cooling effect of the air conditioner.

After reading the above text, everyone should have known about the role of air conditioning refrigerant pipes. The role of refrigerant pipes is also quite significant. If you want air conditioning to play a better role, then the role of refrigerant pipes is inevitable.
