Lead Tape on Window Air Conditioners
This is really neat.
Last night in lab class, we opened up about 10 window units so the students could trace out the refrigerant circuit in a simple air conditioning system. As we were tracing out the circuit, we came across a strip of thick black sticky foam wrapped around the suction line. No, it wasn't suction line insulation, as the strip was only about one-inch wide.
I called the manufacturer of the unit and was informed that this strip is actually lead tape and is used to reduce the vibration of the unit. The engineers determine the point in the system where the highest frequency vibration is and they put this strip of lead tape on the line to reduce the amount of noise generated.
Who would've thunk it?

Sorry,Professor,I just took on a big straighten out/repair/up grade/ on an 8000s.f. house and I will have to be there for days. And have some fun,I get to make up my own schematic's by tracing out every wire,then converting that into a ladder diagram.The 1st system took me 20hrs, and yes,I was paid!0 -
Lead tape
Would that be the same as lead paint?
I tore them off because, I could never hear any noise over the compressor.
See what happen Terry.You get all this knowledge and you lose out on the quality time.
See what you have done, Professor.
