Effective corrosion protection coating for brazed plate heat exchangers
Modern heating systems are accompanied by the treatment of heating water to avoid undesirable calcifications. The water treatment according to VDI 2035 specifies demineralized or softened water for heating systems. The so-called deionized water (fully demineralized water) increases the probability of corrosion for the essential component of the system - the copper-brazed plate heat exchanger. ...

Is R410A a problem for the recycling?
R410A has a low boiling point and requires high pressure and low heat exchange temperatures in order to be properly liquefied. Degassing for instance R12 units (refrigerators) alongside R410A containing AC units requires a carefully dosed intake of the refrigerant into the condensing unit. Otherwise R12 can allready condensate in the compressor and this causes damage to pistons and valves. In ...
