    i am thinking about starting to learning a bit about hydrocarbon gases to save money. can any one tell me what the difference between r290a and lpg is . can any one tell me why u cant just use pure lpg in a fridge all u would need is a pt chart for it. does lpg have more moister in it
    because from what i can work out it seems to work fine we tried it in a domestic fridge and ran fine for 4 years

      R290 is a CLEAN refrigerant

      lpg ect is dirty, moisture and non condensables and foreign bodies

      also regrigerant grade hydrocarbons are stenchless/no smell

      as the stenching agent is absorbed by drier cores

      would say you got lucky with your domestic

    I would suggest do not pump down to 1 bar, just turn off, close compressor suction if you must.

    If you have compressor crankcase heater

    Since it only happens at start up, I would say it's a a plug or restriction in the liquid supply to the evaporator coils.

    as in oil has collected

    They are connected the way you've shown in your diagram. I've drawn it with bottom connections for connivence.

    We drain it every winter. I'll see if I can find any videos from last year..but the entire operation is quite difficult so we only do it once a year.
