Before and after the summer is the peak period of air conditioning maintenance and repair, then a lot of questions about air conditioning repair has attracted the attention of consumers. Among them, whether it is better to use copper pipe or aluminium pipe for air conditioner connecting pipe has become one of the concerns of consumers:
The connection between the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit requires connecting materials for connection. Commonly used in the air conditioning indoor and outdoor units connected to the material for the copper pipe and aluminium pipe. At present, the most common air conditioning connection material is the air conditioning copper pipe. Why? Because the refrigerant is ultimately to absorb heat in the evaporator, and then in the condenser to release heat, air conditioning copper pipe outside to be connected to the heat sink, the connection tube through the refrigerant (Freon, commonly known as snow). Therefore, this refrigerant with the quality of copper pipe directly affects the cooling effect of air conditioning.
Copper tube pressure resistance is high, not easy to corrode, the service life is also longer than the aluminium tube; refrigeration copper tube thermal conductivity than aluminium tube is much better than the welding performance, mechanical strength is also much better than aluminium, of course, air conditioning copper tube price will be more expensive than aluminium tube. Many consumers in order to save money or cheap, they will be refrigerators, air conditioners, copper pipe thinning or directly change the aluminium tube, the price is relatively low, but of course the performance is much worse than with the copper tube, the cooling effect is not better than the refrigeration effect with the copper tube.
If the installation location of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is far away, then you also need to let the installer to lengthen the length of the air conditioning copper pipe. Lengthening part of the copper pipe is to be charged separately, different manufacturers of the charges are not quite the same, consumers can consult the official customer service.
