Re: quick question????
.
It depends on the refrigerant...
If it is C02 they can boil water!!
Most synthetic refrigerants break down (thermal decomposition) if the refrigerant
runs above the critical temp for too long, so that is a limiting factor.
Most common refrigerants would therfore not be suitable above 60 or 70 degsC..
all the best

Re: quick question????
Also our pressure test figures are based on a 55°C temperature.
