ACR copper tube for refrigeration, air conditioning and medical gases 18x1.0 mm soft /25m/ 2821028062190

Universal solution for refrigeration and medical installations

ACR copper tube with a diameter of 18 mm and a wall thickness of 1 mm is a professional solution for demanding applications in the refrigeration, air conditioning, and medical industries. The soft construction allows for easy forming and fitting into complex installation routes without the risk of cracks or material deformation.

High-quality copper ensures excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, which translates into long-term and reliable operation of the entire installation. The absence of an external coating allows for free selection of thermal insulation according to specific design needs.

Material properties and construction

Copper, as a base material, is characterized by natural resistance to external factors and stability of parameters across a wide range of operating temperatures. The soft hardness grade (according to ETIM classification) ensures ease of bending the tubes during assembly, eliminating the need for additional connection elements at bend points.

A wall thickness of 1 mm with an outer diameter of 18 mm guarantees an optimal ratio of mechanical strength to material flexibility. This proportion allows for safe use under the pressure characteristic of typical refrigeration and air conditioning installations.

Professional applications

In the refrigeration industry, the tube is used in the construction of refrigerant circuits in commercial and industrial systems. The flexibility of the material facilitates routing the installation around architectural obstacles and in hard-to-reach places.

The air conditioning sector utilizes this product to create connections between indoor and outdoor units of HVAC systems. The soft construction minimizes the risk of vibrations and operational noise.

In medical applications, the tube is used for routing technical and medical gases in hospital and laboratory installations. Copper, as a biocompatible material, does not negatively affect the quality of the transported medium.

Installation and operation

The installation process does not require specialized bending equipment - the soft structure allows for manual forming or use with simple bending tools. However, bending radii must comply with industry standards to avoid local reduction of the cross-section.

During operation, the system requires appropriate thermal insulation, selected individually for the specific application. The lack of a factory coating provides full freedom in choosing the insulation material in terms of thickness, type, and insulation parameters.

Regular checking of connection tightness and periodic inspection of the tube surface condition will ensure long-term and failure-free operation of the entire installation for many years of use.
