Improving the Mechanical Properties of the Air-Conditioning Pipe Using Composite Materials

Abstract

Traditional air-conditioning pipes made from materials such as copper and aluminum have limitations in terms of strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The use of composite materials offers a promising alternative to overcome these limitations due to improving the mechanical properties of air-conditioning pipes by incorporating composite materials. The paper explores the mechanical properties of composite materials and their potential to enhance the strength, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion of air-conditioning pipes. Whereas gas leakage issues have developed into one of the most significant issues in air conditioning organizations, the solution to these issues looks forward to improving the gas connection pipes in air conditioning companies and enhancing their durability. The goal of the study presented in this research paper is to improve gas pipes by adding insulating and supporting layers to increase the pipe's durability, such as layers of carbon and fiber. Through Simulation, materials have been added at various angles and directions to determine the best accessible condition to improve the condition of the ionization tube. The results revealed that the presence of carbon fiber layers at angles of 45 degrees from the inner diameter and 90 degrees from the outer diameter provides the best accessible condition and results in the least amount of distortion, with the best case's deformation reaching 0.157 meters.
