QUOTE(TXSim @ May 3 2016, 11:03 PM) Apa la awak!!! Its a discussion, my brother installs aircon and (copy pasted)This is Lowyat Forum. Not a place to argue. Inverter and Non-inverter use different piping. Since Non-inverter used thin pipe. Inverter use thick pipe, as spreeee mention it. QUOTE R22 vs. R410a refrigerant R22 refrigerant: As of 2010 is no longer allowed to be used in newly-manufactured air conditioners Contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer Is less capable of absorbing and releasing heat than R410a refrigerant, making it the less efficient refrigerant Is becoming more and more expensive as its use is phased out R410a refrigerant: Is approved for use in all newly-manufactured air conditioners Does not contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer Is better at absorbing and releasing heat than R22 refrigerant, making it more efficient to use Requires the use of tougher and more durable air conditioner parts, which reduces the risk of your system overheating and breaking down What is not mentioned is R410a used in Inverter Air conditioners runs at a higher pressure than R22 thus the need for thicker copper tubes.. But the regular R22 copper tube can still withstand that higher running pressure only it doesn't have the same safety factor of not springing a leak.. I would advice save money, use back the existing conceal copper tubes with the inverter aircon.. a properly installed R22 copper tube can easily handle the pressure .. Edit* Just to add.. If you have an installer asking you to replace R22 piping it's not because there's anything wrong with the existing pipes.. My brother says the same thing to his customers all the time.. the installer (like my brother) makes more money ... like i said he installs aircon..
