TALOS® XS
TALOS® XS tubes are manufactured using a high strength copper-alloy (CuFe2P) material, in order to satisfy the demands of today’s high-pressure CO₂ systems in refrigeration, as well as, other high-pressure HVAC&R applications.
CO₂ as a refrigerant
CO₂ (R-744) refrigerant is termed a “natural” refrigerant because it exists in the natural environment. Released from refrigeration systems into the atmosphere, CO₂ has a negligible effect to global warming and thus is not under any regulatory restrictions, as is the case for CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants.
In addition to its environmental-friendly character, CO₂ is currently viewed as a viable solution for low-temperature refrigeration applications because it is non-ozone depleting, non-toxic, non-flammable and has a high volumetric cooling capacity. However due to its physical properties, CO₂ based refrigeration systems request much higher pressure, compared to conventional systems. The design pressure of such systems can be 120/130bar in the trans-critical cycle. CO₂ meets the demand for a low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, but presents challenges in both its application and handling. The higher operating pressure and broad temperature fluctuations require that all the system components, including piping, should be designed accordingly.
Extra-Strong TALOS® XS tubes for high-pressure systems
TALOS® XS tubes are designed to withstand high operating pressures of up to 120/130bar. At the same time, TALOS® XS tubes are manufactured with comparatively thinner walls and thus achieve an economical advantage that meets the pressure equipment design. The well-known installation practices of refrigeration copper tubes are followed also for the case of TALOS® XS tubes, both in systems and in the field (see relative EN378 standard for guidelines). Since the processing methodology remains essentially the same, existing tooling and handling equipment are utilized. This includes brazing with standardized silver braze alloy (min. silver content of 2%), bending with traditional tools and joining with standardized fittings made from copper alloy (CuFe2P).

Packaging
Straight lengths, in bundles (hard copper tubes) and in wooden boxes (soft copper tubes) Pancakes-PNC in shrink-wrapped individual plastic bags. Depending on market requirements, products can be placed in cardboard boxes and pallets. Customised dimensions are manufactured upon request.
Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
TALOS® ACR copper tubes for HVAC & R units are available in the following forms:
Spools (LWC)
TALOS® ACR copper tubes are available in spools (LWC) with or without central support (hard carton). Spool sides may be delivered protected by “flanges” of reinforced cardboard.
“CD” coils: Spools with a “central” decoiling
Spools with a “central” decoiling are especially prepared so that unwinding from the center of the coil is possible. They provide significant advantages to the user, such as reduction in packaging materials, unwinding directly from the pallet and greater weights per spool. “CD” coils of TALOS® ACR copper tubes do not require special unwinding equipment; they have lower handling costs, reducing machine downtime and increasing production efficiency.

TALOS® ACR INNER GROOVED
Our product range is designed with a commitment to excellence, delivering unmatched durability and efficiency to meet your needs. Engineered for reliability and performance, each product offers exceptional value, ensuring long-lasting solutions that enhance your experience. Whether you’re seeking practicality or innovation, our range provides reliable results you can count on every time.
TALOS®IGT copper tubes feature inner grooves that enhance the heat transferred by the refrigerant and as a result increase the energy efficiency of the HVACR units. Applications of TALOS® IGT include heat exchangers for condensation and/or evaporation in A/C and refrigeration systems, as well as, heat pumps.
HALCOR’s production technology for TALOS® IGT copper tubes enables the manufacture of advanced inner-groove designs for a complete range of sizes, starting from 16mm outside diameter down to the new generation microgrooveTM tubes with an outside diameter of 5mm or less, being one of the few manufacturers worldwide to have this capability.
The ability of Halcor to provide complete solutions to its clients was reinforced by the establishment of a Tube Heat Transfer Laboratory. The equipment of the Tube Heat Transfer Laboratory was specially designed to enable measurements of the heat transfer performance of ACR tubes under fully controlled test conditions. Critical features, such as, the heat transfer co-efficient and the pressure drop, are measured using a sophisticated system for condensation and evaporation of HFC and natural refrigerants, as well as, single-phase fluids and fluid mixtures. The flow and thermal parameters are programmed to simulate specific operating conditions, such as, refrigerant flow rate, saturation temperature, vapor quality, thermal capacity, etc. and thus allow Halcor’s engineers to study the influence of the inner-groove design.
The Tube Heat Transfer Laboratory gives Halcor the capability to incorporate the test results in a complete framework of technical support to manufacturers of heat-exchangers, with the purpose of optimizing their heat-exchanger design for any of the following:
- Improved efficiency
- Higher capacity
- Reduction of raw material
- Compact heat-exchanger size
- Reduction of refrigerant charge
