Piping orientation during brazing
Brazing should be conducted downwards or horizontally to avoid filler leakage.
Figure 3-4.6: Piping orientation during brazing
Piping overlap during brazing
Table 3-4.3 specifies the minimum permissible piping overlap and the range of permissible gap sizes for brazed joints
on piping of different diameters. Refer also to Figure 3-4.7.
Figure 3-4.7: Piping overlap and gap for brazed joints
Filler
• Use a copper/phosphorus brazing alloy (BCuP) filler that does not require flux.
Do not use flux. Flux can cause corrosion of piping and can affect the performance of compressor oil.
•
Do not use anti-oxidants when brazing. Residue can clog piping and damage components.
