Elliott Tool Technologies, a USA based tube tool manufacturer, announced the launch of a new condenser expander collar design. The air cooler collar ring is designed to prevent costly damage to the plug hole threads and reduce the pressure put on the header box face.
Tube expansion can be challenging regardless of the application. From inconsistent wall thicknesses to exotic materials, a lot of factors can influence the quality of an expansion. In smaller applications, there can be some additional complexity to the process which makes choosing the right expander more critical.
It's no secret that tube leaks or failing hydro is a huge headache for organizations. When it comes to tube installation, proper expansion can be the difference between an expensive repair bill and a long-lasting vessel.
