Domestic Refrigeration Compressor Copper Coiled

The domestic refrigerator uses reciprocating, scroll compressor and screw compressor. The reciprocating compressor is more popular for commercial use. Sorting your scrap always earns you more cash in the long run! Copper – While you can't cut the copper refrigerant lines, there's often still a good amount of copper to be found when dismantling a refrigerator, due to the electrical components. The components of the cooling system (compressor, condenser, coils, fins) are made of aluminum, copper, or an alloy. The tubing is usually copper, because of that metal's ductility—its ability to bend without breaking.

Metal compressors can be recycled for their scrap metal value if they meet the definition of scrap metal. Compressors must be drained of free-flowing hazardous waste oils by a CAR before they are recycled.
