Refrigeration Piping Charging Residential AirConditioning R-22 Roger D. Holder, CM, MSME Refrigeration is the process of moving heat from one location to another by the use of refrigerant in a closed cycle. The piping and tubing system must be designed, installed and maintained to provide proper flow of refrigerant in both liquid and gaseous states. 2 2 3 Piping Tubing Refrigeration Piping Refrigeration is the process of moving heat from one location to another by the use of refrigerant in a closed cycle. The piping and tubing system must be designed, installed and maintained to provide proper flow of refrigerant in both liquid and gaseous states. A successful refrigeration system depends on a good piping design and an understanding of the required accessories. The first skill that any refrigeration apprentice mechanic learns is to make a soldered joint. Running pipe is so common a task that its critical importance in system performance is often overlooked. Tubing Inspection Leak Check The object of a good visual inspection of system tubing design is to note obvious oil traps. Also look for long vertical suction lengths without p traps and inadequate OD tubing size If the system is known to be leaking or if oil is present around mechanical fittings, solder joints, gaskets or seals, recover the refrigerant and repair the leaks. Pressurize the system with a residual amount of refrigerant and dry nitrogen using the recommended test pressure on data plate. Maximum test pressures should be approximately 150 psi for high-pressure AC/R
