Insulated copper tube for Air Conditioner HVAC Refrigeration

The insulated copper tube consists of two parts: the inner tube and the outer insulation layer. The inner tube is made of copper, responsible for transporting the refrigerant. The outer insulation layer usually uses insulation materials such as polyethylene (PE) and foamed rubber and plastic. These materials have excellent thermal insulation properties, which can effectively prevent heat transfer, reduce the heat exchange between the refrigerant inside the tube and the external environment, minimize the loss of cooling capacity or heat, and improve the energy efficiency of the system.

The surface of the insulation layer also has certain waterproof and moisture - proof functions, which can prevent the formation of condensate water, avoid corrosion and mildew of the tube, and extend the service life of the pipeline. In addition, a protective layer, such as aluminum foil or a plastic protective layer, is added to the outer surface of the insulation layer of some insulated copper tubes, which further enhances their abrasion and tear resistance, safeguarding the insulation layer from external mechanical damage.
