Re: Suction line
Hi there,
Most of the evaporators for domestic refrigerators are made with aluminum tubes. The condensers are from copper. The ones I saw anyway.
For joining them the manufacturers use some kind of glue!!!?
The suction line is also copper.

Re: Suction line
We use a grey metal bi-component glue made in Argentina (!) for repairs on Al evaps in domestics., however, I have not seen any remains of glue on the Cu-Al joins to the evap. A mystery.
