Sizes of Copper Pipe rolls in Refrigeration

Copper rolls, also known as copper tubing coils, are available in various sizes to accommodate different applications and installation needs. These rolls are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and other industrial applications where continuous lengths of tubing are required.

Considerations for Choosing the sizes Copper Pipe Rolls in Refrigeration:

Refrigerant Type and Pressure: Select the size of copper pipe rolls based on the refrigerant type and system pressure requirements.
Flow Rate: Consider the required refrigerant flow rate and ensure the chosen pipe size can accommodate it without excessive pressure drop.
Installation Needs: Evaluate the length of pipe required and whether a coil format (copper roll) is suitable for the installation layout and space constraints.
Environmental Conditions: Assess whether additional protection or insulation is necessary based on the installation environment to prevent corrosion or damage to the copper tubing.
Compliance: Ensure the copper pipe rolls meet relevant industry standards (e.g., ASTM B280 for seamless copper tube) and local building codes for refrigeration systems.https://finstarindustrial.com/products/refrigeration/flaring-kits-in-kenya/

Description

The sizes of copper pipe rolls can accommodate different system requirements and installation needs. In refrigeration, Finstar Industrial Systems uses copper pipe rolls for conveying refrigerant and connecting various components like condensers, evaporators, compressors, and expansion valves.

Sizes of Copper Pipe rolls in Refrigeration available at Finstar Industrial Systems.

1. Common Sizes (Imperial)

1/4″ (6.35 mm) OD: Used in smaller refrigeration systems, such as domestic refrigerators and compact air conditioning units.
3/8″ (9.53 mm) OD: Suitable for residential and light commercial refrigeration systems, including split air conditioning systems.
1/2″ (12.7 mm) OD: Commonly used in medium-sized commercial refrigeration systems, walk-in coolers, and some HVAC applications.
5/8″ (15.88 mm) OD: Used in larger commercial refrigeration systems, walk-in freezers, and industrial refrigeration applications.
3/4″ (19.05 mm) OD: Larger size used in industrial refrigeration systems, commercial refrigeration racks, and where higher refrigerant flow rates are required.
7/8″ (22.23 mm) OD: Typically used in large industrial refrigeration systems, central cooling plants, and larger HVAC applications.
1″ (25.4 mm) OD: Used in very large refrigeration systems, industrial cooling towers, and where significant refrigerant flow rates are needed.

2. Metric Sizes

6 mm OD: Metric equivalent of 1/4″ copper tubing, used in metric-based refrigeration systems and certain European applications.
10 mm OD: Metric equivalent of 3/8″ copper tubing, commonly used in metric-based refrigeration systems and some European HVAC applications.
12 mm OD: Metric equivalent of 1/2″ copper tubing, used in metric-based refrigeration systems and HVAC applications.
15 mm OD: Metric equivalent of 5/8″ copper tubing, suitable for larger metric-based refrigeration systems and industrial HVAC applications.

3. Wall Thickness

Type K, L, M, ACR: The wall thickness of the copper pipe rolls can vary depending on the type of copper tubing chosen. Type K has the thickest wall and highest pressure rating, while Type M has the thinnest wall and lower pressure rating.

4. Coil Lengths

Copper pipe rolls are typically available in various coil lengths depending on the supplier and manufacturer.
