How To Weld Evaporator Or Ac Pipe Of Aluminum Material

Hello steemians friend ..

Back again with me @vanirfan this time is still in the same job that is about welding ac pipe session to two give me the results and how.

Frequent occurrence of cases of leakage occurred in the evaporator or condenser ac is made from aluminum. Sometimes the technician gets a little confused. Because most of the ac in circulation from the market is a product of condenser freon installation pipe and evaporator from copper pipe material. And the end of this many outstanding ac products made from aluminum.

#How to weld aluminum pipe evaporator

If the installation of air-conditioning made from aluminum pipe, and leakage occurs, here I will help solve a little problem for step repair steps on the installation of air conditioners or other coolers made of aluminum. And to start it can be prepared materials as follows.

Nitrogen to be used to provide pressure as a step to do the search process or determination of the leak point.
Water soap or large water container to look for leaks that will later appear bubbles.
Cutter to slightly spare the aluminum fins if needed.
A thin plate of aluminum or scrap plate as a substitute material if there is a condenser fin or evaporator disposed.
Sandpaper or can use a wire brush to clean the dirt stuck in the pipe before welding.
Zinc or thin iron plate for cover to keep the welding fire not too diffuse.
Welding tool, can use hi cook welding tool or oxygen welding tool.
Cut it to modif when replacing the flushed condenser or evaporator fins earlier, to cut the aluminum plate.
Aluplatinum as aluminum wicker feed material.

And here's some short video how it works:

For step welding step is as usual when such welding condenser or evaporator which is of copper material. That is.

First fill the installation of a condenser or evaporator with Nitrogen, and start looking for a leaking point with soapy water or dip it in a water container to look for air bubbles that cause leakage.
If you have found the leak point and then clean it with sandpaper or with a wire brush, if there are parts of the fins that interfere with the welding process later, remove with a cutter sufficiently.
If it is cleaned or dried then plug the iron zinc plate to prevent the fire spread.
If it is prepared all and then start by heating the aluminum pipe that will be done welding with a small fire to taste alone. Do not be too big like welding on copper pipe.
Occasionally while trying to stick Aluplatinum weld feed if aluplatinum can melt welding with neat. Perform control of the size of the fire to get maximum results.
If you have and there are parts of aluminum fins that are removed before, add or patch with aluminum plate before, according to its size and shape in order to get more leverage. And ready to do the leak test again before the plug to the application right as it is.

#Weld copper ac pipe:

Our copper pipe welding should also pay attention to quality, if you want to install a cooling machine in order to achieve maximum installation. Why do I write how to weld a good ac pipe and standard operational procedures (SOP) because according to many manufacturers ac recommend this way so that the ac will be better maintained so that the life of ac will be longer.

For the welding process of ac pipe connection many engineering techniques of experience from his technician or adjust the state as well as the quality of the ac pipe also adjust the size as well. Before we get into the main discussion will be a little I discuss what or how to prepare before welding according to the material and the size of its ac pipes.

Pipe ac for satandard split wall or cassette before make connection we have to enlarge from one end of pipe that we will combine. To enlarge it we must use the flaring tool which we previously prepared in accordance with the size of the ac. Or it can also use the ac tbaga pipe socket fit large size which is widely available in ac shop spare part shop.

For ac pipe above 5 pk for connection to make it work faster we have to prepare the conjunction for ac welding work of ac pipe for connecting easier. Due to ac pipes above 5 pk using large and thick pipe. Somewhat difficult to do the flaring process.

Okay maybe enough so many articles that discuss about how to weld evaporator or condenser from aluminum material using Aluplatinum weld feed. Hope can be useful.
Thank you.
