Import Tips
• Specify plate-fin exchanger brazing process certification to validate material construction claims
• Include PSA cycle documentation proving temperature exchanger integration beyond simple aftercoolers
• Watch for reclassification as air conditioners (8415) if primary function deemed cooling rather than gas generation
