In this demonstration, Ty and Ash put the VIPER WETRAG HEATSHIELD from Refrigeration Technologies to the test using OPEN FLAME conditions and show how to Protect Your Work Area While Brazing. Watch as they show the dramatic difference between protected and unprotected materials when exposed to high heat from brazing torches. Starting with a simple water boiling experiment, they escalate to testing styrofoam and plastic materials with a torch setup to demonstrate how the HEATSHIELD disperses energy and protects surrounding materials. This video is perfect for HVAC technicians who want to see firsthand how heat shields can prevent accidental fires and protect equipment, walls, and other materials during brazing operations. Safety reminder: This demonstration was conducted with proper safety equipment - don't try this at home!
