Hi Guys
Well trying to get a decent flushing agent to the Congo is not easy as I am told most from S Africa are "Hazmat" ie flammable and cant come by air
About the only thing I can get here is rubbing alcohol. I have used it slightly before on another condensor flush with a sort of success
I intend flushing out bad oil from a Ziagra icemachine plant[7.5hp Copeland semi] using a waterpump and then 8bar of air to blast stuff out then lots of vaccuming.
Any comments?

first things first M8, alcohol is for drinking ore medical service. flushing material can be made from several things like the oil you intend to yous,and a filter. NEVER and i mean NEVER blow air in refrig lines. if you have the opportunity or access to dry air, but again its better to have nitrogen.
