Dented return bends in condenser or evaporator
Dented return bends in condenser or evaporator
(OP)
Hello,
First time here. Does anyone have experience regarding small dents in copper return bends of condensers or evaporators. We only do final assembly and sometimes we receive a heat exchanger with a small dent in 1 or 2 return bends from shipping. Probably about 10%-15% of the cross sectional area is dented. As a quality inspector, would such damage justify scrapping the part or is it usually nothing to be concerned with. Ideally we want to receive them without damage 100% but probably won't happen since they are delivered from overseas. Any thoughts or experiences? Maybe useful quality standard? By the way, these are 134a window type AC units.
