Apart from getting 2kgs less than ordered I would expect your wastage to go up as well.

Do you think that they were having a 'warehouse sale' and you came along ?

To answer the Norwegian first, jobber for MMC Kulde på Valderøya :)


Unitor had 48 kg bottles, but they were a tad more expencive... My bet is they spent whatever they saved on having one of us on shore changing bottles for three days :) but then again we were in Chile, the sun was shining straight down, no shadow to be found... no shadow to be found ANYWHERE. and we charged almost the whole plant without starting the compressors due to the temperatrure difference :D

Hi had the same type of job in the past when we moved a large blast freezer, we needed to add 7tons of Ammonia into the system for the new pipe work and replace what was removed for the freezer move. Someone who made out the order got in 67Kg. cylinders and not the 1ton. cylinders that we wanted. But same as you it was in the summer time so 14 hrs. later, 3 of them on over time we compleated the system recharge and started up the rest of the freezers for the start of new production run on green veg. and chips.

The beginning, I'm wearing blue coveralls, a black t-shirt, the sun is beating down from almost straight up and the ozon layer is close to non existant... I'm not amused

The rig we made, eight bottles connected to a 7/8 pipe that again connects to a 3/8" dual layer hydraulic hose (we use these for everything) 10mm inner diameter, sight glass for good measure, the loss of refrigerant was very low. (i think :))

Oh, it was done a month ago :) just finally managed to get the pictures off my laptop and onto the big rig at home :)

Not that I'm complaining, three months in South America basking in the sun, while some of the worst snow storms and bad weather in ages hits Norway :)

I know, it's tough at the bottom isn't it? ;)
