water damage from refrigerant?
Is home air conditioning refrigerant a liquid or a gas at normal air
pressure? I'm sure it's a gas, yet someone online claims, "Furthermore, because the unit was installed incorrectly, refridgerant leaked all over our basement floor, causing water damage." |

What leaked was water from the condensate pan. |

The refrigerant itself is a gas but if there was a leak it could certainly carry some of the oil thats in the system out which would result in a stain. |

water damage from refrigerant?
I should know this number, but can't think of it off hand. The boiling
temperature of R-22 is about 44 degrees below zero. Somewhat similar to propane. The refrigerant in a home AC system is a gas, when released. Same deal with R410a "Puron", but Puron operates at much higher pressures. As others have written, water is available in the system as condensate from the evaporator. -- Christopher A.

Refrigerant will boil away at atmospheric pressure and room temperature MLD |
