Refrigeration & HVAC

coiled tight for maximum utilisation of space, refrigeration and HVac tubing perform the demanding and unremitting work of heat transfer under punishing spatial constraints. but the respect which they command rests on so much more. Threats to reliable heat transfer are many and varied: fouling (crystallisation, decomposition, polymerisation and/or oxidation) within the tube; excessive load; stream pressure loss; tube vibration or leakage; sub-optimal heat transfer; inadequate temperature rating; and a host of others. Provided that these challenges are mastered and continually met, the deceptively unobtrusive process of heat transfer supports a broad array of high-tech products. The manufacturers of refrigeration and HVac tubing are committed to their flawless operation in all circumstances.
