Re: R600a
Not working with this stuff, I decided to look up the MSDS on it.
Will stick with something safe, like Ammonia

Re: R600a
Most manufacturers in the UK have suffered massive compressor failures and systems blocking up with R600, my experience comes from light commercial cabinets with this stuff in it, and it isn't good.
Some are coming away from R600 and i don't blame them.
We replace gas with R49 drop in, after that all is OK.

Re: R600a
I do exactly the same, only thing is the compressor is then slightly oversizeds, still not sure if to get trained up on R600 or not, personally do not like the gas.

Re: R600a
If R49 is the gas developed by Forbes Pearson it has butane in it anyway Originally Posted by LRAC
But not in the amounts that cause problems as I have seen people leak testing it with flame type leak detectors
Kind Regards Andy
If you can't fix it leave it that no one else will:rolleyes:
