Brazing Without Nitrogen – Deadly Consequences For Compressors (Explained)

This video reveals the DEADLY consequences that occur when brazing copper lines without flowing nitrogen. Watch as we demonstrate exactly what happens inside your system when you skip this critical step and how it can KILL your compressors.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The devastating effects of brazing without nitrogen protection
  • How copper oxide formation creates deadly contamination in your system
  • Real-time demonstrations showing different oil types cleaning copper oxide
  • The true cost of skipping nitrogen during brazing procedures
  • How copper oxide particles destroy compressor components over time
  • Why filter dryers can’t save you from this deadly mistake

 

DEADLY Consequences Revealed:

  • Copper oxide flakes circulating through your entire system
  • Contamination that leads to premature compressor failure
  • TXV restrictions and superheat problems
  • Acid formation and copper plating on moving parts
  • Why systems die within years instead of lasting decades

 

Scientific Evidence:

We put different oils (mineral, POE, PVE) to the test, showing you under a microscope exactly what happens when oil flows through oxidized copper lines. The results will shock you – especially when you see how aggressively modern POE oils strip contamination from copper surfaces.

The Real Cost:

Skip $7 worth of nitrogen and face thousands in compressor replacements, callbacks, and reputation damage. This video proves why proper brazing techniques are non-negotiable for professional HVAC technicians.

Key Takeaways:

  • Always flow nitrogen when brazing – no exceptions
  • Understand why RX11-flush won’t solve your copper oxide problems
  • Learn the difference between cleaning contamination and preventing it
  • See why proper installation practices prevent 98% of compressor failures
  • Master the fundamentals that separate professionals from parts changers

 

Whether you’re brazing residential split systems or commercial equipment, this video will change how you approach every joint. Stop gambling with compressor life and start following the science-backed practices that ensure system longevity.

Don’t let deadly brazing mistakes destroy your reputation – watch now and master the proper techniques that protect your systems and your business!
