UBZ range of copper tubing or copper piping which is ideal for carrying water supplies and transferring heat in HVAC systems as copper is a flexible, conductive material with little corrosion. Copper piping is suitable for both domestic and commercial applications for transferring liquids, gases and oils and comes in a range of sizes.
UBZ Copper Tubes and Copper Coils are made in accordance to JIS H3300 C1220T & ASTM B88 Standards. B88 Standards tubes are also called Type K and Type L Copper pipes. Copper Pipes & Coils of both standards are suitable for air-conditioning and refrigeration field service. The dimensions of JIS H3300 C1220T Copper Coils & Pipes may vary depending on the size and thickness requirements, while ASTM B88 Copper Pipes have a fixed thickness for each different size, with less flexibility offered. However, their thicker walls made it more suited for higher-pressured water transporting applications.
Key Features of Aircon Copper Pipe
Corrosion Resistance
Aircon copper pipes resist corrosion, helping them remain strong for an extended period. They prevent rust buildup, ensuring the pipes stay intact and leak-free, which in turn protects the air conditioning system from potential damage.
High Thermal Conductivity
Copper efficiently conducts heat, making it ideal for air conditioning systems. This accelerates both cooling and heating processes, ensuring the system operates smoothly and without energy waste.
Flexibility
Copper can bend easily without breaking. Installers can shape it to fit into tight spaces or awkward corners, making it an excellent choice for complex air conditioning setups.
Durability
Copper pipes can withstand high pressure and extreme temperatures. Their resilience ensures they can endure harsh conditions, making the system more reliable and longer-lasting.
Lightweight
Copper is lighter than many other piping materials, which makes it easier to transport and install. This speeds up installation, reduces labour costs, and still provides a durable air conditioning system.
FAQ's
JIS H 3300 Standard of copper pipes are commonly used in air conditioning systems. These pipes balance strength and flexibility, making them ideal for residential and commercial use. They also resist rust, allowing for long-term efficient operation.
Yes, insulating aircon copper pipes is important. Insulation helps maintain the temperature of the air inside and protects the pipes from weather elements like rain and sun. It also improves the system’s efficiency by preserving energy and keeping the air cool. An example of insulation typically used for aircon copper pipes is the K-Flex ST insulation.
Aircon copper pipes typically last between 20 and 50 years. Their lifespan depends on factors like maintenance and environmental conditions. With proper care and protection, they can remain functional for many years.
