Apparatus for non-conductive refrigerant line break
Abstract:
The present invention is a device for providing a non-conductive refrigerant line break that provides an electrical discontinuity in a high-pressure metallic refrigerant line. The present invention could be used for the installation of HVAC units in which metallic refrigerant lines would necessarily penetrate a security partition or security wall. In an embodiment, a conductive line run external to a secure facility would be broken by a non-conductive line approximately contemporaneously with the conductive line's wall penetration or entirely within an internal cavity. The non-conductive line would run a distance determined by a consulting engineer to provide sufficient security given the application. The non-conductive line would then be attached to a conductive line within the secure facility. The present invention utilizes a non-threaded fitting extension to increase surface area for epoxy bonding.
