Further wrap-up the rubberised insulator with Alumnium Foil--That is great.

[Spango]

Hi, I am interested in doing that too, but where is the aircon pipe?

[Hatchet]

Which way is better,

 

(a) wrap aluminium foil on piping, than cover aluminium foil with rubber insulation tube?

 

(b) wrap insulation tube on piping, than cover insulation tube with aluminium foil?

 

Any differences? Other than looks?

[Spango]

Or

 

© wrap aluminium foil on piping, then cover aluminium foil with rubber insulation tube, then cover insulation tube with aluminium foil again...

[Chevro]

I think should 1)put on insulation tube then 2) add aluminium cover.

 

I see you worry about the cosmic and durable of the aluminium cover. I would try whether alumium is worth to put on. If better, I add.

 

Need to consult to Brot Tan.

1st layer is to wrap Rubberised Insulator over the pipe that carry the cold refrigirant.

DO NOT REMOVE PIPE OR PIPE JOINST UNLESS U R A TRAIN AIR CON TECH!

 

2nd layer wrap Aluminium Foil over Insulator.....this is the correct order.

 

The Rubber Insulator is to keep the Refrigirant at the coolest

temperature to cool the Air to 15-18 degree before going into your Car cabin.

The Aluminium foil helped to prevent condensation on the insulator & piping.

 

That was taught in my short Air Con course. Hope i remember them right...U may want

to double check with SA.

The pipe carry super cool...minus 40 degree Refrigirant.

U can feel the coolness on this pipe within Engine Compactment.

Best to feel it in the morning B4 starting the Engine.

Ya. If without the aluminium foil, there is a risk of catching fire for the rubber insulator when the compartment is heated up.

[Chevro]

Oh, that why I saw my pipe behind the engine all exposed, definitely will reduce the air con power, it is very hot there . How come the car is not covered?!

Those material that install in your house aircon. DIY

 

Sorry, I am not very resoureful. Where did you get the materials? Can I get it off the shelves somewhere?

[Phelan]

Just go to any hardware shop and ask for armaflex insulation, 25mm thick, which is used for commercial aur-cons. Then wrap the armaflex with aluminium foil.

Thanks for the info.

Ok....found the 2 Refrigirant pipes this Fri 13 May 05 in my Aveo HB.

I will wrap them up asap with Insulator Hose for extra cooling & Aluminium foil to keep out condensation on pipes. See Pic here....U it at yr own risk!!! Please consult a qualified Air-Con Tech. Safety First Guy!!!

 

Anyone have any spares Insulation hose about a metre long x 1 pc for me. PM please
