R-290 added to cascade low stage
It is common practice to add a small amount of propane to the low stage in a cascade system. I know that someone, ASHRAE maybe, had defined a minimum ratio of propane to refrigerant for flammability reasons, does anyone know what that is or where I can find it in writing?

Re: R-290 added to cascade low stage
yeah, worked on one -80 and we had to charge the low side with pentane which is a flammable liquid, but again the only reason was for oil return and the plate give us a weight in oz to charge how much of it in the low side
