Hi,


Is there such thing as PEX that you can use instead of copper for HVAC
refrigerant?


Thanks!


Sam


I don't know about PEX, but some plastics will let gas pass through it. *The
2 liter and like Coke bottles will let the co2 out. *If you look at a bunch
of them in a store, some will seem to have more it them than others. *The
ones that look fuller are the old ones.


That's a joke I hope. *Or do you really think water is a compressible
liquid....


Do you really think that the flexible plastic
container that soda is typically dispensed
in might play a role in such observations
when the pressure inside decreases...



To the extent that a noticeable change in surface level occurs? No I
do not so think. If you think it does do this experiment.... get a
new bottle and mark the level .. then open it and see if the level is
noticeably higher then the mark. I plan to do this sometime in the
next day or so just to see.
