R1150 or R23 for cascade?
Copeland and r1150
Guys I had a question asked that I dont know the answer to and was hoping some of you industry guys can answer for me.
The question is a little vague but Im assuming the company asking reached out to Copeland and Copeland told them not to use r1150. Heres the question:
Why does Copeland consider R1150 to be such a big issue? Would we be better off using R23?

Re: R1150 or R23 for cascade?
Copeland are simply protecting themselves from legal attack due to people using a machine, compressor, in an untested environment.
In other words, Copeland have not tested that model of compressor with flammable gases and therefore will not provide safety or warranty for it's use with such gases.
I see nothing wrong with their statement.

We have 2 systems running with Copeland compressors on R1150 in 2 stage and R1290 in 1st stage. No problems. We added also some propane to the R1150 stage.
