Can you use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper for baking?
A/C's should be recycled by a company or person who has the equipment to capture the freonIn some places it is in fact illegal to cut open the system and release the refrigerant into the atmosphere Even if the freon has already leaked out by accident, I don't think there's enough copper in there to earn very much money in the scrap metal market, if that's what you're hoping to do.
I know there is a kind of AC recycling machine, called AC Copper and Aluminum SeparatorIt is used to separate copper and aluminum of the discarded air conditioner radiatorIt is composed of two motors, two reduction gears, rack, press roller, blade, and pinch roller, and so onThis machine is user-friendly, with high efficiency and almost no copper lossOur Copper and Aluminum Separator has the bright market prospect and will bring you more profit.
You are correct about the composition of the materials in those partsCut the tubing and pull it out, the aluminium will be easy to removeWatch out for the freonLOL
I’m going to assume you have installed a new ac unit outside and are asking about salvaging the old unitLeave the fins on, even though they are different metals Aluminum and copper the scrap metal yard will weigh it and pay you for the copper value and their estimate for the weight of the aluminum which won’t be much and it sure isn’t worth the time and trouble to separate them.
It will work very well it is just that many worry there will be a transferance of taste but that is untrueBefore there was foil and paper we just buttered the tray Dune
