Copper pipes are used in refrigeration system because of their great resistivity to corrosion and oxidation ( last longer). Furthermore, it is very malleable.
AnswerPumping nitrogen through refrigerant piping during brazing is an excellent practice. The reason is that nitrogen helps to prevent the buildup of oxide scale on the inside of the pipes during the brazing process. Refrigerant is a natural cleaning agent, and as it is being pumped through the pipes it will pick up the scale and contaminate the refrigerant. It is possible that this will damage to the compressor.
The thin copper fins on the cooling pipes of a fridge help to dissipate heat more efficiently. The larger surface area created by the fins allows for better heat transfer from the refrigerant inside the pipes to the surrounding air, helping to cool down the fridge more effectively.

Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes

No, copper is a metallic element.

If you are talking about the larger of the 2 copper lines, the problem could be that the unit is low on refrigerant. Check to ensure that the large line is insulated and not exposed.
Copper pipes are now most commonly used in plumbing. Lead pipes were used long ago, and the word plumbing is derived from the Latin word for lead (plumbum). Iron pipes were used until relatively inexpensive copper pipes became readily available during the twentieth century.
