What is the best material for air conditioning ducts?
The most commonly used pipe is copper pipe with special insulation, which is suitable for transporting refrigerant. The optimum diameter ranges from 6 to 15 mm, depending on the capacity of the unit and the length of the route.
Why is copper piping used in air conditioners?
Copper has excellent thermal conductivity, high mechanical resistance and long service life. It is therefore standard in professional installations.
Is it possible to use plastic or aluminium pipe?
Plastic piping is only used in specific cases with low performance requirements, aluminium piping is hardly used due to lower thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Why does air conditioning pipework need to be insulated?
Air conditioning piping must be thoroughly insulated to prevent heat loss and condensation.
How does duct length affect air conditioning performance?
As the piping route lengthens, the pressure and thermal energy of the refrigerant is lost, which can reduce equipment performance and increase energy consumption.
What effect does the environment have on the pipeline?
High humidity, extreme temperatures and dustiness can shorten the life of the pipe. UV stabilised insulation and additional corrosion protection is recommended for outdoor use.
