Copper tubes are called the “blood vessels” of air conditioner. Quality of the “blood vessels” will directly determine the quality of air conditioner. Today we will discuss how to weld หน่วยทำความเย็น and air conditioning copper tubes.
Air Conditioner Main Components
เครื่องปรับอากาศ included indoor unit (เครื่องระเหย) and outdoor unit (คอนเดนเซอร์).
องค์ประกอบหลัก:
คอมเพรสเซอร์: Keep the refrigerant in the compressor at a high temperature and high pressure, liquefy the refrigerant, then circulate the refrigerant in the pipeline. There is oil in the compressor, the function of which is to lubricate the reciprocating motion of compressor, reduce friction, finally cool the system.
กรอง: Filter impurity and dry moisture
Heat exchanger: Cool refrigerant
Four-way valve: Conversion of cooling and heating
Pipeline system: Pipeline for refrigerant circulation
Valve plate: Switch connected to indoor unit
วาล์วขยายตัวแบบอิเล็กทรอนิกส์: Control refrigerant flow

Welding Tips
1. เครื่องทำความร้อน
-Heat the copper tube until tube color reaches 740~840℃ (by visual sensation).
-Record the temperature at which copper tube will melt (holes appear) : 1,038℃.
-Maintain the welding temperature (740~840℃) สำหรับ 10 วินาที.
2. Fill Solder
-Use 1.6mm×0% solder
-Position for adding solder (opposite of heating)
-Timing for adding solder
-Dripping of solder (caused by temperature difference)
3. Welding Steps
| พิมพ์ | Ag% |
|---|---|
| BCUP-3 | 5% |
| BCUP5 | 15% |
| BCUP6 | 2% |
| BAg30CuZn | 30% |
Welding Rod Types

6. Dryer Welding
7. Heat Capillary
8. Compressor Tube Heating
Welding Quality Check
Check whether the welding parts’ sealing is good. Add refrigerant or nitrogen then stabilize for a while, and can use soapy water to check if the welding is absolutely leak-free.
Unqualified welding
เมื่อไร เครื่องปรับอากาศ is running, the welds shouldn’t be cracked (seam) due to vibration. Debris shouldn’t block the pipes during welding, nor allow moisture enter due to improper operation.
The surface of the welded parts should be clean and free of oil stains.
