Hi All,
I have a customer with a 1953 G.E.C. fridge, which has at some time been fully restored.
The fridge has a R12 compressor, and the poor old fridge has lost sufficient gas not to function well.
I have been searching all over this site, and else were to find a solution to my problem,
that is, i am reluctant to refill the unit ( upon successful pressure test ) with HC (R600) refrigerant, as the item is old and i fear a future emission and want to avoid an exploding fridge scenario.
So i am trying to find R413 (isceon R49) in a kilo can, but no joy.... i have used this in the past but no one seems to stock anymore that i know of.
my only other idea to alleviate this problem is, could i add a small percentage of R600 and complete with R134a???
Any help would be appreciated
Kind Regards
