An ac unit that has copper pipes can freeze up just as other pipes can freeze up. Once the unit freezes, you need to turn them off.

Do you have to replace the copper pipes when replacing ac unit?
no need to change the copper tube if the capacity of the unit is same.
How would you know if you need a freon charge for your AC?
Pressure gauges. In a home or car AC there is small pipe and a large pipe going to the compressor unit outside or in the engine compartment. The large pipe should be cold and "sweating" ( dripping water).
How cold should be copper lines on ac unit?
There is no real set temp for the lines ,the bigger thing is the heat that the outside unit is producing when the unit is on. A normal functional AC unit will be around 105 to 110 degrees as for the copper lines they should feel pretty cold to the touch like an ice colds beer feels in your hand......
Does copper pipe coming from attic that feels cold when AC is running need to be insulated?
Yes. This will prevent heat loss and condensation.
How do you check freon pressure on central ac?
with a set of freon guages. The smaller copper pipe should be warm to hot. The larger copper pipe should be cold and in hot humid weather dripping water from condensation. what should the guages read.
New AC unit is causing water to drip from the air vents?
I wonder if the overflow pipe from the pan under your unit is hooked up properly? We once had an intermittent problem that turned out to be a plugged pipe--it rained in our bedroom.
Can you freeze your AC unit by turning the temperature down too low?
Technicaly yes, but all you have to do is turn the unit off for about an hour and let it thaw. It will work properly again after that.
What is wrong if your home ac vents have water drops on them and the ac runs 24 hours and only cools to 74 degrees in a 575 sq ft 2nd floor condo?
possibles: fan speed too slow, clogged filter, clogged fins on ac unit inside or outside house, low freon, poor or no insulation in attic,walls and floor joists, downstairs occupant not using air conditioning, poor weather sealing. Did it ever cool better than now? undersized AC unit? Larger copper pipe on outside unit should be cold and sweating
Where is the low pressure AC valve for charging a 1995 Camry AC unit located?
The Freon low pressure port is located on the passenger side of the engine near the back. It is made into an aluminum pipe connected to the ac hoses.
How many pounds of copper are in a central ac unit?
There are some people out there that wonder the same question. Usual the ones that sale the ac equipment it for scrap this is not a concern of ours. We buy our tubing in lenghts.
Can you use freeze 12 in R-12 central ac unit?
Freeze-12 is compatible with R-12 as well as with 134a refrigerants. It may be hard to find, though, because it has been discontinued.?æ
Which pipe is best for AC?
Copper can better handle oxidation and corrosion for longer periods ultimately gives air conditioners a longer lifespan. Cooling on copper pipes is much faster due its lower specific heat quality.Western Steel Agency is a leading Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings Manufacturers in India.
