Frascold and propane

I would like to hear from everyone who has got eny experience with Frascolds 6 and 8 cyl. compressors. Have you had eny problems with them and propane (or other refrigerants)?

Hello condor frascold compressors are good and run very smooth but they have very fine tollerances on wrist pin and big ends you have to make sure the suction super heats are set properly and they used for the specfied operating limits. other wise they seize up and smash

Have you ever used them with propane?

I have a customer which uses Frascold with R1270, and they dont have any problems with it.

Hi,
My experience is no good in frascold, 30hp & 15hp after 6 months I replace it with another brand.

The glow in a cigaret is warm enough to ignite propane while the glow in a cigar is not - that is if you are not too eager to get home. Still it is a bad idea to smoke when working with any refrigerant:mad:

Welcome back NoNickName. I was wondering what happened to you. How is the new job?
