Why is it important to fill the brazed copper joint completley when R410A refrigerants are used?

What will be an ideal response?


These higher-pressure refrigerants will cause the copper pipe to expand slightly as the pressure inside the pipe increases. As the pressure decreases, the pipe contracts. This cyclical expansion can cause a stress fracture if the joint is not completely filled with brazed metal.
