I think I may have found this on the Duracool, Envirosafe or other websites.
I remember it being described as a gaseous stain. Interesting!  |
Ok, lets examine some of the physics involved.... you put it in as a gas...it swims around in the LIQUIFIED refrigerant and oil inside the system from the lower half ( optimum) of the condensor... through the filters ( silica and gravity) in the Rec/Dryer.... is in liquid up until it is expressed into the evaporator by the TXValve... where it extricates itself from the refrigerant/mix and becomes a separate gas again ... ?
Why does it not surprise me that it was found on one of those sites ?
Don't leave out Autofrost for sketchy concepts...
And why can you not keep in mind my description of the situation inside the evaporator housing ... where a gas detector works GREAT... but a residue type leak detector is impossible to see ?
