Pressure products

Refrigeration fittings are a group of refrigeration components that can be included in the key elements of the entire system. It is useful at every stage of the path that the refrigerant travels in the system. The task of refrigeration fittings is to control the flow of the refrigerant, as well as its pressure and temperature.

Many of them are used to provide the refrigeration compressor with the best possible working conditions. And getting rid of the hazards of compressor failure provides many benefits, including saving money by avoiding the need to replace the chiller. The cost of replacing the entire unit is much higher than the cost of purchasing or replacing an element of the refrigeration fittings. We are aware that the requirements for a refrigeration system can be very different, which is why in our offer you will find a wide selection of high-quality refrigeration fittings, tailored to the needs of the installation.

Elements of pressure products

High-quality refrigeration fittings are elements without which it is difficult to maintain a refrigeration installation in good condition, so it is worth paying attention to it, and if any of the components are damaged, replace it with a new one. .

• Anaconda type vibration dampers, i.e. connectors used in refrigeration systems, mounted in places most exposed to damage caused by vibrations. These elements are resistant to this type of traffic, which significantly reduces the failure rate of the cables. The vibration damper is fitted to the compressor on both the suction and discharge sides. In our offer you will find them in a version with a steel or copper solder connection.
• All types of refrigeration valves, including ball valves, check valves, rotalock valves, schrader service valves and solenoid valves. They are used to control the flow through the lines, provide service access and (in the case of check valves), ensure the correct direction of flow. More information about valves and their operation can be found on our website: refrigeration valves
• Liquid sight glasses used to control the humidity of the refrigerant, which will signal too much water in the refrigeration system by changing the color of the indicator. At blueref.pl you will find a wide selection of refrigeration sight glasses, available in various sizes and with connections adapted to soldering or welding.
• Filter driers, whose main task is to protect the system against moisture, acids and impurities. The compressor is particularly sensitive to moisture, so it is worth providing it with the best working conditions, and this will contribute to reducing the risk of failure. The blueref.pl online store offers a wide range of dehumidifier filters with different cores and sizes. Filter driers with replaceable cartridges are also a solution worth attention, used in larger installations. You can learn more about filters, how to properly match them to systems and how they work in our post: filter drier.
• Liquid tanks are elements of refrigeration fittings with larger dimensions (than those mentioned earlier). In the refrigeration system, they are installed as a reservoir of the refrigerant. They are used to store the refrigerant in the system and regulate its amount. The refrigerant demand may change when the ambient temperature changes. Our liquid tanks come with a rotalock valve for easy filling and emptying.
• Oil separators, responsible for separating the refrigerant from the oil that got into it through the compressor. Oil that is used to lubricate the compressor mechanisms is not desirable in the refrigeration system, so it is worth using an oil separator that will separate the two liquids from each other and drain the oil back to the compressor.
• Oil tanks are components that work with oil separators. The oil that has been separated from the refrigerant collects in them, cools down there and then returns to the compressor. In addition, refrigerant residues have the opportunity to evaporate completely. Oil tanks are particularly well suited to multi-compressor systems.
• Liquid separators, which are responsible for preventing liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor, as it is not designed to work with liquids, only with gases. The liquid refrigerant must evaporate and only then can it be transported as vapor to the compressor.
• Oil filters, mounted between the compressor and the oil tank, protect against the ingress of mechanical impurities into the compressor - from dust to particles resulting from the abrasion of elements.

Although the functions performed by individual elements of refrigeration fittings are very different, their main purpose is to ensure appropriate conditions for the flow of the refrigerant. They support the operation of the refrigeration system and protect it against adverse factors that may occur in it. In order for these components to serve us as long as possible, it must be remembered that each of the elements of the refrigeration fittings must be adapted to work with specific refrigerants. Always pay attention to the compatibility of the component with the refrigerant, e.g. CFC, HCFC, HFC. Incorrectly selected operating conditions may result in leaks, corrosion or destruction and lead to incorrect operation of the entire system.
