why all the fuss over R12!!
From what I have read of the 100% of R12 used (in europe) ONLY 8% was down to refrigeration, ie the other 92% was used in aerosol cans and engineers blowing out condensers.

If R12 was monitered and engineers where properly informed (that will be the day) and end users where enforced to have leaks repaired rather than have the system topped up I wonder what percentage of R12 would be released to atmosphere?

Using R134a is good for the world!! Is it?

It's very good for the chemical companys they make a fortune

It's very good for leaking out of systems

It's very good for the electric suppliers as you have to use a compressor that is approx a third larger which means that the power station is pumping out a third more muck into the atmosphere (very sensible)

most third world countries are still making and using it

What are your thoughts?

Is it not about time that the engineers of this world had their say!
