Can the copper tube of GREE air conditioner be changed into rubber tube?
The refrigerant has a strong penetration capacity and can withstand high pressure. It doesn't mean the refrigerant doesn't run.When the air conditioner is refrigerated, the refrigerant oil is mixed together in the refrigerant and flows in the system. The freezing oil reacts with the rubber products and makes the rubber products rapidly aging and fail, unless the special rubber hose is purchased.
Unless they are specially made for air, rubber tubes for general industrial and domestic use shall not be used for connecting air conditioners. Because the refrigerant to plastic and other polymer compounds will play "swelling" role, make it soft, expansion and foaming, will make plastic and other polymer materials more easily aging and decomposition. In addition, the refrigerant pipe is not suitable for the environment of high temperature, low temperature and high pressure, and plastic pipes can not be used.
Can not.One is the pressure rubber tube is not high, not more than 10 kilograms, the pressure in the air conditioning system requires more than 20 kilograms; at the same time, the air-conditioning system in operation, the temperature exceeds 100 degrees; no air conditioning system must be sealed, rubber tube under compression are not to do. In addition the rubber pipe corrosion, aging in exposed to the weather.
