Refrigeration pipes are a key element in the construction and operation of refrigeration systems, which are used to maintain low temperature or cool in a variety of applications, from building air conditioning to industrial refrigeration plants. What should you pay attention to when choosing pipes for refrigeration systems?

What should the recovery pipe be made of?
Let's start by discussing the most important issue - the material from which the heat recovery pipes are made. The following types of pipes are mainly used in ventilation systems:
- smooth metal (made of materials such as galvanized steel, aluminum, aluminum-zinc sheet, stainless steel and acid-resistant steel)
- spiro – twisted metal (made of spirally twisted sheets, available in a rigid or corrugated variant)
- PVC
- flex – flexible pipes (made of corrugated sheet metal).
The materials from which heat recovery pipes are made must meet certain requirements - so that the entire system operates efficiently and is safe for users. This is especially true when it comes to resistance to contamination - the pipe surface should prevent the development of pathogenic microorganisms and prevent the formation of unpleasant odors. This resistance is provided by the internal silver coating. In addition, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning and efficient removal of moisture contained in the air are important.
What diameter should an air conditioning pipe be?
Another important issue is the diameter. On the one hand, the recovery pipe should ensure adequate air flow and enable convenient cleaning and inspection, but on the other hand, it should not take up too much space. Pipes of this type are available in a wide range of diameters. At Onninen you will find models with nominal diameters from 50 to 200 millimeters.
On most sections, the optimal diameter of the pipe leading to a room used by one person will be 75 millimeters. If a given part of the building is used more intensively, it will be necessary to use pipes with an appropriately larger diameter. Models with a diameter of 63 and 50 millimeters are recommended for use on sections leading through places with limited space.
When is it worth choosing a flexible air conditioning pipe?
For many installers, the basic choice in ventilation systems are rigid pipes. In some cases, however, flexible models will work better. Such an air conditioning or ventilation pipe can be routed without the use of fittings, which significantly speeds up installation work and reduces their costs. A flexible pipe will work primarily in spaces where the installation of rigid pipes would be impossible or significantly difficult.
