It's a matter of detecting a small amount of refrigerant vapor within the surrounding air space. The first time around, I think I used some unit of refrigerant weight relative to volume, never thinking in terms of weight to weight ratios. After more research, I read gas concentrations were...
Been a while since I was here...thanks in advance for any replies. :smile:
I'm in the HVAC service business and part of that "service" involves locating (or attempting to locate) refrigerant leaks. And that usually involves the use of some sort of electronic hand held detector. Thing is, not...
It's not so much a fear, rather an inability to comprehend most of it...Once the discussion strays from H2O and NaCl, I'm done ...:biggrin:
My objective is purely practical. If I knew the last drop of liquid in the evaporator included some amount of both refrigerant components, the dew...
The wordiness was simply an attempted explanation for the point of the question, which was last sentence in the main body of the post. Thanks for your input.
I have no idea what I'm dealing with in chemical terms. o0)I usually refer to the old stuff as "chlorine based" and the new as "fluorine based", quite likely inaccurate but it gets the point across to the equipment owners...chlorine bad for ozone, fluorine not so much.
There are some...
I think this is a chemistry question...
Due to the Montreal Protocol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol) and subsequent phase-out schedule for all the “conventional” refrigerants, many/most of us in the HVAC service industry are consequently working with “interim” alternatives for...
Just registered with the forum and following the "instructions"...:biggrin:
I'm not a "science professional". Studied physics long ago for my BS major, but have forgotten most of what I might have learned. Work was always technical in nature, but nowhere near any definition of "advanced". For...
