An HVACR service technician has been called in to inspect a system with a line leak. She sees that the refrigerant line has been in direct contact with a concrete block wall. How might this have contributed to a leak?
Vibration
Lack of stability
Corrosion
Pressure on the joints
Answer (2)
A refrigerant line leaking after contact with a concrete wall may result from corrosion due to moisture, pressure on joints from rigid contact, and vibrations affecting the line. Understanding these factors is crucial for preventing leaks in HVAC systems. ;
A refrigerant line leaking due to contact with a concrete wall may result from corrosion, pressure on joints, and vibrations. These factors can weaken the line and its connections over time, leading to leaks. It's important for technicians to consider these issues during inspections.
