What is the maximum temperature of a copper spun dryer when being brazed?
I tried to braze one in this evening with a blow lamp, I eventually succeeded but my instincts were getting the better of me afterwards regarding its maximum temperature, and the time the heat was being applied to it.
I haven't brazed a copper spun dryer for years, and I normally use oxy acet, but this evening I didn't have it with me and used my blow lamp. Not realising the amount of time the heat would need to be applied, has caused me concern.
I've left it on leak test overnight, and I will find out tommorow when I commision it, if it has been damaged.
