The explanation is on the video clip but I will give a short version here.Israel does not enforce the gas re-claim laws.As a Brit. working here I am quite aware of the penalties in the U.S. for discharging refrigerant gasses into the atmosphere.Just who enforces this and how effectively I have no idea.
I recently saw someone discharge 900 kilos of R.22 on a bank central AC system to repair a tiny leak on the liquid return.An old system with no way to pump-down.
Now sunbathing on Eilat's beaches between 12pm and 4pm. is considered slightly risky due to the possibility of skin cancer.With 900kg of R.22 hitting the ozone layer above Eilat I was wondering if a feckin great hole in the ozone layer might temporarily increase the incident rate of contracting skin cancer.So rather than "dump" the 4kg of gas in my home-made aquarium cooler, I thought I would try and re-claim it.It took 3 hours to remove and re-bottle it.But then I was just trying to do my bit for conservation.
