Good demonstration! My experience with doing aluminum always turned out awful. The biggest difference I see is you are using a propane torch as opposed to an oxy acetylene rig os heat is more manageable.
I found a small leak in the middle of a distribution tube and not knowing better I rapped it with J B Weld Marine but after I charged it it had a very small leak. After watching this video I feel tempted to pull the evap and fix it the right way but Id have to cut like 4 inches where the epoxy is the get a piece of aluminum tube to weld it. What do you think? is it worth the risk?
When brazing an air conditioner condenser, do I need to release the refrigerant gas? As opposed to 'pum- down' to collect the refrigerant gas into the outdoor unit, if I 'pump-up' and then braze, is there a risk of explosion? ( Google Translation Sorry)
@@TaeHo_Park You can't pump the system like you're thinking. If you're making repairs to a condenser you need to remove all the refrigerant and purge with Nitro before you attempt to make repairs. You should also low flow nitrogen while brazing
Great explanation

Thank you. Yes I believe that the MAP gas is key for those that are not used to making these repairs.
Rig OS heat = ?

@@enriquepacheco6545 depends on how patient you are. If you are confident you can get all the JB weld off, then I would.
thanks for making the video
Nice video!

Hope you get a million views
You will begin to see a red "corona" in the flame as the aluminum comes up to temperature. You see red in your flame, dip the solder!
Good idea
Hi can you give me the full name of this brazing rods?
Harris is the manufacturer. I'm using the Aluxcor 78/22 rod.
@@0komanji0 Thank you for being so kind..
Nice one man
GREAT JOB!!! WHERE CAN I GET TORCH HEAD LIKE YOURS??
Home Depot or any hardware store
@@0komanji0 THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
No, at what time did you say to use flux?
The solder I use in this video has a flux core. You don't need additional flux.
He left a big hold on the copper to aluminum. That is not flux .
It might have been easier to use the multitude to get a clean-cut for the repair. Less damage to the fins
WHAT'S A MULTITUDE???
