What cleans a refrigerant/coolant??

[bobbobobbo]

I have a Taylor ice cream machine that was serviced and recharged. The result left a liquid coolant/refrigerant inside the ice cream cylinders. The technician simply told us to drain it and refill with fresh product.

Anyway, we're a little concerned as we've washed it through a bunch of times, yet the water is a little hazy and it still has a slight smell.

Is there something safe that we could run through that might help clean it further? Alcohol? Cleaner?

Thanks!!

(If it makes a difference the guy left a tank of compressed nitrogen by accident. If that's what he may have used, I have no clue.)

It all depends what is in the cylinders to be cleaned out.

I can't understand why he should get refrigerant or it's oil into the food side of the system.

I would contact the techie who did the work for more details.

Hopefully you are not talking about flushing refrigeration circuit with water.

No no. Oddly the drum was filled with coolant, the top part is separate. He told us to drain it out and wash through the lines. I have no idea why the drum itself would have coolant in it but he's serviced a ton of these. Anyway, I just flushed it a bunch of times and it's perfect now.

Thanks for the help!

hi BOB, on the cylinder with the cleaning fluid, is the number R 11 on it?
