Refrigeration pipes are a key element in the construction and operation of refrigeration systems, which are used to maintain low temperatures or cool in a variety of applications, from air conditioning in buildings to industrial refrigeration systems. What to look for when choosing refrigeration pipes?

What should a recuperation pipe be made of?
Let's start by discussing the most important issue - the material from which the pipes for heat recovery 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 rigid or corrugated versions)
- PVC
- flex – flexible pipes (made of corrugated sheet metal).
The materials from which the heat recovery pipes are made must meet specific requirements – so that the entire system works efficiently and is safe for users. This is especially true for resistance to contamination – the surface of the pipes should prevent the development of pathogenic microorganisms and prevent the formation of unpleasant odours. Such resistance is ensured by the internal silver coating. In addition, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning and enabling efficient removal of moisture contained in the air are important.
What diameter should an air conditioning pipe be?
Another important issue is the diameter. The recuperation pipe should, on the one hand, provide adequate air flow and enable convenient cleaning and inspection, and on the other hand, they cannot take up too much space. Pipes of this type are available in a wide range of diameters. At Onninen you will find models with a nominal diameter of 50 to 200 millimeters.
In most sections, the optimum diameter of a pipe leading to a room used by one person will be 75 millimetres. If a given part of the building is used more intensively, it will be necessary to use pipes with a correspondingly larger diameter. Models with a diameter of 63 and 50 millimetres are recommended for sections leading through places with limited space.
When is it worth choosing a flexible air conditioning pipe?
For many installers, rigid pipes are the basic choice in ventilation systems. In some cases, however, flexible models will work better. Such a pipe for air conditioning or ventilation can be routed without the use of fittings, which significantly speeds up the installation work and reduces its costs. A flexible pipe will work primarily in spaces where the installation of rigid pipes would be impossible or significantly difficult.
Pipes for refrigeration systems at the Onninen wholesaler
At the Onninen wholesaler we have prepared a diverse offer for installers carrying out projects in such areas as ventilation, recuperation and air conditioning . At the Onninen installation wholesaler you will find a wide selection of pipes with which you can perform installation in any facility - regardless of its size, building layout and investor expectations.
We offer pipes of the renowned inGremio brand. The AirFlex Spectra 1000 200 25m recuperation pipe is characterized by high flexibility with a strength of 500N and low air flow resistance. Safety of use is ensured by the internal coating that effectively prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi and antistatic properties.
Pipe The BlackFlex Spectra 200 90 heat recovery pipe is characterized by high microbiological resistance. It is available in various sizes. The pipe diameter is available in various sizes from 50 to 200 mm.
Choosing the right pipe for heat recovery is of great importance for the efficiency and safety of the entire ventilation system. The pipes should be resistant to contamination, corrosion and enable effective moisture drainage and convenient inspections. Trouble-free installation is also important - even in hard-to-reach spaces.
