Hi,

I've heard lots of salesman mention that window units and fridges should not be tipped over on the side and if they are they need to be left for half an hour before you can turn them on........ something about "The gas being out of the compressor".

Is there any truth to this, would there be parts of the refrigerant that are always in a liquid state and could possibly slug the compressor if you lean the fridge or air con unit on the side for an amount of time before straightening it up and starting it?

Thanks
