Argon for sweeping ac lines

ezrollin
10 years ago

Getting ready to braze some ac lines and know it's common practice to sweep them with nitrogen while brazing and to give them a good blow out afterwards. Since I don't have nitrogen I did some research and some say you can use Argon which I have and is an inert gas.Anyone done this or have any input ?
