Air conditioning system
Air conditioning system
On the pressurized components of the air conditioning system, no welding should ever be performed, either tin welding or brass welding. This is also valid for welding works on the vehicle, when there is the risk of air conditioning system components being heated. Regarding a paint repair, no individual object temperatures up to 80°C should occur in the oven or in a pre-heating zone, as due to this heating there is a strong elevation in the pressure of the installation, which may even explode.
  Note
A drainage of the refrigerant circuit is also necessary when welding is to performed close to the refrigerant hoses. Invisible ultraviolet radiations are released during welding, which penetrate the refrigerant hoses and decompose it.
