I'm looking to do a little DIY project where I replace the refrigeration lines of my mini-fridge with some clear PVC piping to show what's going on inside. I haven't verified the PVC will withstand the operating temperatures, and I may have to look to another clear material, but is this something I can do without damaging the unit?
I believe the refrigerant will be highly pressurized, so I may have to replace it altogether I assume.

Take an on-line class, read a refrigeration book, take a vo-tech class, but do not try to use plastic lines for the refrigeration cycle. You will be playing with a loaded gun.
