Acid Test

[Henry1]

Hi Guys,

Any Thoughts appreciated, just went to carry out an Acid Test on a York Chiller, took the sample from the oil fill valve at the bottom of the compressor (scroll) and got a blast of refrigerant/oil, into the test bottle which turned yellow indicating high Acid levels, question is is this test still reliable taken from refrigerant and not pure oil?

Thanks for any help.

The test reacts to acid, in a certain quantity.
Where this acid is doesn't matter.
