Connections in General
All connections are brazed to the heat exchanger in the general vacuum brazing cycle. This process gives a very strong seal between the connection and the cover plate. However, take care not to join the counterpart with such force that the connection is damaged.
Depending on the application, there are many different versions and locations available for the connections, e.g. Compac flanges, SAE flanges, Rotalock, Victaulic, threaded connections and welding connections. It is important to have the correct international or local standard of connection, because they are not always compatible.
Some connections have an external heel to simplify the pressure and leakage testing of the brazed plate heat exchanger in production. Some connections are fitted with a special plastic cap to protect the threads and sealing surface of the connection, and to prevent dirt and dust from entering the brazed plate heat exchanger. This plastic cap should be removed with care, to prevent damage to the thread or any other part of the connection. Use a screwdriver, pliers or knife.

Threaded Connections
Threaded connections can be female or male, in wellknown standards such as ISO-G, NPT and ISO 7/1.

Soldering Connections
The soldering connections (sweat connections) are in principle designed for pipes with dimensions in mm or inches. The measurements correspond to the internal diameter of the connections. Some of SWEP's soldering connections are universal, i.e. fit both mm and inch pipes. These are denominated xxU, such as the 28U, which fits both 1 1/8" and 28.75 mm.
All brazed plate heat exchangers are vacuum-brazed with either pure copper filler or nickelbased filler. Under normal soldering conditions (no vacuum), the temperature should not exceed 800°C. The material's structure can be altered if the temperature is too high, resulting in internal or external leakage at the connection. It is therefore recommended that all soldering uses silver solder containing at least 45% silver. This type of solder has a relatively low soldering temperature and high moistening and fluidity properties.

Welding Connections
Welding is recommended only on specially designed welding connections. All SWEP's welding connections are made with a 30° chamfer on top of the connection. Do not weld pipes on other types of connections. The measurement in mm corresponds to the external diameter of the connection.
During the welding procedure, protect the unit from excessive heating by:
a.Using a wet cloth around the connection.
b.Making a chamfer on the joining tube and connection edges.

Use Tig or Mig/Mag Welding
When using electric welding circuits, connect the ground terminal to the joining tube, not to the back of the plate package (see Figure 8.15). Internal oxidation can be reduced by using a small nitrogen flow.

Frequently Asked Questions of Mixed Refrigerant

Q:What are the mixtures of refrigerants?

A: A refrigerant may be either a pure compound or a mixture (blend) of two or more refrigerants. Examples of pure refrigerants are R12, R22 and R134a. Examples of mixtures are R502, R404A and R407C.

Q: What are the properties of mixed refrigerant?

A: Mixed Refrigerant have emerged researchers during the past decades due to its superior thermophysical properties such as thermal Conductivity, density, viscosity and specific heat.

Q: Why is it important to not mix refrigerant?

A: Mixing refrigerants can have an adverse effect on air conditioning and refrigeration systems, resulting in reduced efficiency, performance, and longevity. And it can create a safety hazard for the technician who may not know exactly what type of refrigerant a system may contain.

Q: What are the symptoms of mixed refrigerant?

A: Mixed refrigerants can cause increased system pressures and temperatures changing them for the worse. This can result in ineffective compressor cooling and possible compressor damage, ineffective cooling, and metering device malfunction. Different types of refrigerants are not meant to be mixed.

Q: What happens when two refrigerants are mixed?

A: Therefore, the mixing of two or more refrigerants results in the formation of the azeotropic mixtures.

Q: Can refrigerant be mixed with other chemicals?

A: The short answer to this question is no, but there are many reasons why this is not a great idea for practical, legal, and economic purposes. Refrigerants are a very specific mix of chemicals designed to remove heat from your home.

Q: How are refrigerants classified?

A: Based on Boiling Point. On the basis of Boiling Point, refrigerants are classified into High-Temperature Refrigerants and Low-Temperature Refrigerants.

Q: Can mixed refrigerants be reclaimed?

A: No intentional refrigerant venting is allowed under EPA regulations; technicians must recover refrigerants removed from HVAC equipment. Mixed refrigerants cannot be separated for reclaim, but our program can safely destroy them at no charge to you.

Q: What should be done to a system with mixed refrigerant?

A: If refrigerants aren't mixed together, they can be reclaimed and reused. If they're mixed together, the only option for the contractor is to turn the contaminated refrigerant over to a parts house at an additional cost. The parts house sends it to a company that incinerates the refrigerant, so it can never be reused.

Q: What happens when refrigerant mixes with water?

A: When the refrigerant is dissolved in water, it will lower the water's boiling point. This is because the refrigerant will absorb heat from the water, lowering its temperature. This can be useful in certain industrial or laboratory applications, such as in refrigeration or cooling systems.

Q: How is a mixed refrigerant used in a refrigeration system?

A: Mixed refrigerant vapor from the shell side of the main cryogenic heat exchanger is compressed in an axial compressor followed by a two stage centrifugal compressor. Intercooling and initial desuperheating is achieved by air cooling.

Q: What are some advantages of using a mixed refrigerant?

A: The mixed refrigerant cycle is simpler and lower capital cost than the cascade one. It consumes less energy than the expander cycle, too. So now more than 80% of systems are using the mixed refrigerant process.

Q: What are some disadvantages of using a mixed refrigerant?

A: Mixed refrigerants can cause increased system pressures and temperatures changing them for the worse. This can result in ineffective compressor cooling and possible compressor damage, ineffective cooling, and metering device malfunction. Different types of refrigerants are not meant to be mixed.

Q: Can you mix R32 and R410A?

A: HVACR body FETA has warned the industry not to attempt to retrofit R32 to R410A systems, arguing the practice is not just unsuitable for the system, but poses serious safety risks.

Q: Can you mix R32 and R134a?

A: Yes, the mixture R32/R134a in the NRC will result in a better performance. The maximal COP can be improved in a range of 8–9% over that of the CRC, and the volumetric refrigerating capacity can be approximately increased by 9.5%.

Q: What is the composition of mixed refrigerant?

A: The composition of the refrigerant in the SMR process is a mixture of hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane or ethylene, propane and iso-pentane.

Q: What are the safety considerations for handling mixed refrigerants?

A: Wear safety goggles and gloves at all times when handling refrigerants or servicing a refrigeration system. Wear the proper respiratory protection while working with refrigerants. Check the MSDS for the proper level of protection required.

Q: What is the most efficient refrigeration system?

A: The most efficient type of refrigeration cycle is the vapor-compression cycle. It requires the least amount of energy input and has the highest average coefficient of performance (COP). Alternative sources of energy, such as solar and geothermal, can also be used to reduce power requirements for refrigeration cycles.

Q: How is a refrigerant system maintained?

A: Inspect the unit's seals and other areas which are prone to leaks; report or repair as required. Check to ensure that the lighting in the unit is shut off after use and at the end of the day to avoid unnecessary heat which will need to be overcome by the unit.

Q: What are the environmental impacts of using a mixed refrigerant?

A: Mixed refrigerants can cause increased system pressures and temperatures changing them for the worse. This can result in ineffective compressor cooling and possible compressor damage, ineffective cooling, and metering device malfunction.
