Air conditioning and refrigeration

Project Introduction

GripSeal tailor-made quick connector for air conditioning refrigeration devices allows rapid connection to the air conditioning compressors, evaporators, condensers, expansion valves, copper pipe fittings, and plate radiators under high pressure in a safe and reliable manner, doubling testing efficiency.

Project Requirements

During the production process of air-conditioning refrigeration, various tests such as high-pressure tests, operation tests, filling of refrigerant or lubricating oil etc. are required for compressors, evaporators, condensers, copper pipe fittings, plate radiators, etc. The test pressure is as high as 50bar or more, especially for some large-diameter pipe fittings, the connection challenge is very great. Some traditional methods include plug cap welding, copper pipe fitting welding, thread winding raw material belt, thread plus ordinary O-ring or ordinary connector.

1. Wielding poses a threat of high-temperature explosion because all the on-site refrigerant are flammable, which requires multiple processes such as welding and cutting etc., resulting in pipe fittings wastes. In addition, oxidation needs to be removed.

2. For thread-wound raw material belts, the possibility of slight leakage is significantly increased under high pressure or high airtightness environment. Once slight leakage occurs, the entire test project needs to be redone, or expensive engineering maintenance and analysis is needed if misjudged. Moreover, the risk of residues of raw material means that the cleaning will be time-consuming.

3. Ordinary low-cost connectors cann't be locked under high pressure or are not equipped with a pressure-assisted locking design, and thus are at a significant risk of flying out, causing safety accidents under extreme circumstances, especially in large-diameter high-pressure testing, which is highly unsafe. In order to reduce the production costs, some connectors require the operator to make precise adjustments. In case of adjustment error or nonproficient operation, the probability of the connector flying out will go up sharply.

Scheme description

Gripseal quick connector, one-second connection, instant sealing, one-stop connection solution

Straight tube quick coupler

For copper tubes, aluminum tubes, mild steel tubes, stainless steel tubes, titanium pipes and other straight pipes with a hardness lower than HRC35 degrees, our G30/G35 straight pipe connectors can provide reliable sealing up to 70Bar, with strong and high-hardness minions and auxiliary clamping design inside, safe gripping key, and provide airtight leakage above 10E-6 level. It is a safe and reliable solution for compressor pressing or other connection components.

Expansion tube quick coupler

For expanded copper tubes, aluminum tubes, mild steel pipes and other expansion tubes with a hardness lower than HRC35 degrees, our G70K series and G70K-HF series can meet the reliable sealing of 50 bar. Among them, G70K can meet most of the air tightness test and withstand pressure test needs, while G70K-HF is a high-flow version, which meets the requirements of high flow pressure and high temperature for compressor and other operation tests.

Female connectors

For R1/2, R3/4 internal thread, you can choose G80 female connector, some radiators to do water pressure will be airtight leak detection, it only takes one second to reach the sealed connection, and can withstand pressure more than 350bar.

Male connectors

For some SAE male threads or R male threads, you can choose G60 series or G85 series to do factory testing of the whole machine, or parts testing or lubricating oil infusion, the pressure can reach 50bar or 200bar, which is very stable and durable, safe and reliable.

Custom nozzle connectors

Whether flared or straight, large and small, based on the foundation of Greyhill's standard sealing technology, we can quickly customize quick couplings that meet customers' high flow, high pressure, temperature requirements, and media requirements to achieve fast sealing.

Quick coupler for air conditioning refrigeration

Greyhill air conditioning refrigeration quick connectors, so that customers do not need to solder, do not need to wrap raw material tape, under the necessary safety measures will not fly joints, all quick connectors are tested for pressure resistance and air tightness, and have been verified by on-site customers for many years.

Solution advantage

one second connection

Gripseal connectors are designed with 1-second connection as the design point, and the connection efficiency is at least 10 times higher than the traditional clamping or winding thread scheme.

instant seal

The key of Gripseal connector is the optimized sealing design, which can reduce the wear of the sealing ring and achieve reliable sealing while connecting. A good connection can be sealed, especially for leak testing or multi-pipeline sealing, our sealing reliability can reduce more than 90% of test misjudgments caused by connection leakage problems.

High voltage safety

Air-conditioning refrigeration connectors are designed with pressure resistance and sufficient material strength to avoid the risk of connector flying out under the condition of necessary safety measures and correct maintenance.

Customization ability

Whether it is a standard nozzle or a special nozzle, based on a variety of sealing technologies, Gripseal can customize reliable quick connectors and provide customers with turnkey sealing connection solutions.

Fast delivery

Gripseal has a large number of standard water heater connectors in stock, which can meet the actual needs of most water heater customers and can be delivered on the same day.

Worry-free service

Gripseal's worry-free service greatly reduces the risk of customers' selection, and effectively protects customers' investment, and tries their best to reduce the use cost of the overall life cycle.

Using Gripseal's connectors, there is no need to manually screw the plug, wind the raw material tape or use a simple chuck, which allows customers to improve the test efficiency by 10 times and reduce the risk of connection leakage by 90% , the test system misjudgment ratio reduced by 90%.
