1 Tubolit Split & DuoSplit Alu An economic alternative to copper

2 Why aluminum in HVACR? Aluminum remains one of the most cost-effective materials you can use outstanding t properties which h enable considerable savings much cheaper than copper - and significant technological improvements Aluminum represents a real economic alternative to copper Cost development per meter for ½ copper & aluminum pipe size Costs CU 1/2" Costs ALU 1/2"

3 Why aluminum in HVACR? Aluminium is handled like copper, with minor differences the same tools and connection methods, precautions are already known to the industry adding benefits at the job site by presenting easy forming abilities Aluminium tubes are in average 65 % lighter than copper, for equivalent burst pressure 20.0 kg Weight in kg per coil 18.0 kg 16.0 kg 14.0 kg 12.0 kg 10.0 kg 8.0 kg 6.0 kg 4.0 kg 2.0 kg 0.0 kg 1/4 inch 3/8 inch 1/2 inch 5/8 inch 3/4 inch Coil Weight Cu 5.9 kg 9.2 kg 12.6 kg 18.9 kg 11.2 kg Coil Weight Alu 1.9 kg 3.7 kg 5.0 kg 7.6 kg 4.6 kg Compliant with common refrigerant fluids like R410A & R407C Easy to install Bends easily without kinking Convenient packaging

4 Tubolit Split & DuoSplit Alu purchase price of Tubolit Split Alu is about 50 % less than for pre-insulated copper pipes no prices fluctuation ti for alu during the year smart pricing recommended for distributors in order not to cannibalize the copper business 5.00 Purchase price sample Cu versus Alu /4 3/8 1/2 5/8 3/4 7/8 Purchase price CU Purchase price ALU

5 Tubolit Split & DuoSplit Alu Aluminium: light, cost efficient and recyclable due to material properties, aluminium lasts longer than other materials pre-insulated pipes are made of a special aluminium alloy (HyLife ), dedicated to HVACR applications supplier Sapa guarantees the products will last longer than the lifetime of the individual air-conditioning unit, without maintenance and corrosion These advantages are now available in Armacell s pre-insulated aluminium pipes. The economic alternative to copper! Fulfillment of the European Pressure Equipment Directive approved by an independent institute t in terms of brazing: Easier and cheaper (brazing material) no need for heavy iron bottle, just small bottle of power gas needed state of the art and proven track record in the automotive industry highly refined quality aluminium pipe low cost and no price fluctuation during the year low weight, easy to form and bend high h corrosion resistance and recycling value

7 Joining Tubolit Split & DuoSplit aluminum pipes Aluminum is not more complicated to work with than copper or steel. It is light and flexible. You are only four steps away from a smooth installation i of your HVAC system. 1. Get your 2. Cut to 3. Bend and tools ready length shape 4. Join

Joining Tubolit Split & DuoSplit aluminum pipes Clean your tool kit

aluminum Cutting aluminum tubes with conventional cutting tools

Less bending force is required for bending aluminum, there is almost

(e.g. Aluminum brazing filler metals from Lucas-Milhaupt, AL 802 [Zn

8 Joining Tubolit Split & DuoSplit aluminum pipes Clean your tool kit with a wire brush - Even better: have a second tool kit dedicated to aluminum Cutting aluminum tubes with conventional cutting tools Deburring the tube after cutting prevents cracking during flaring Less bending force is required for bending aluminum, there is almost no spring back effect There are three easy ways: By using standard flare nuts By using flame brazing (e.g. Aluminum brazing filler metals from Lucas-Milhaupt, AL 802 [Zn 98Al 2 2]; AL 822 [Zn 78Al 22]) By using mechanical connections (e.g. Vulkan Lokring) IMPORTANT! Protect red brass flare nut joints with a heat shrink sleeve to avoid corrosion!

9 Rules to remember when installing pre-insulated aluminum pipes Do s Always clean your tools before using Copper or other metallic impurities can lead to corrosion Hint: Use a tool kit dedicated to aluminum Always protect the joint from exposure to atmospheric air and moisture. This will keep the joint system free of corrosion. Fully seal the joint between the two metals and cover the complete joint plus minimum 10 cm of the adjacent tubes Use polyolefin heat shrink sleeve with adhesive lining. Placed outside - use anti UV paint or a duct to protect the heat shrink sleeve. Dont s Do not expose uncovered aluminum tubes to liquids dripping from higherhanging tubes in copper or steel Do not store aluminum tubes with other alloys, as they will contaminate the aluminum tubes
