No you are wrong. NOTHING should go into a closed system but the proper
refrigerant and oil. on a burnout if it is bad enough you do drier
changes to
clean it up. I don't know where you are getting this wrong info but you
really should talk to someone who knows what they are doing.



look, Beavis, the system is NOT closed while you are servicing it, you are
putting in a new compressor, that is one end of the condenser open.

you should also be installing a new inline filter/dryer, so you would have
the other end of the condenser open

now you flush the isolated condenser, while it is open, replace the oil
that was in the coil, and then install your new filter/dryer & compressor

flushing the indoor coil or works exactly the same, and kwik-solv even has
a wonderful pleasant scent to make your customer happy

the fact that you "HVAC techs" seemed to have missed the first day of tech
school is really scary for the homeowners out there.

do you want them to have to replace a compressor every 2-4 years, just so
you can make a boat payment?

PLEASE do your customers a favor, buy a book, and learn what you are
doing, it is the right thing to do!

if you can't afford the newest edition book, you can get an older edition,
for much less (basic HVAC 101 doesn't change that much, except for new
refrigerants and a couple other things, so a 5-10 year old book is fine
for theory and procedures)

Another a-hole that thinks he knows what he is talking about....
