The equipment he had put together was probably with a few bucks shy of just buying a new unit.Â* What could go wrong? He showed exactly where he fixed the leak. With solder. The leak was fixed, Then he added the number of ounces of refrigent that was listed on the lable. Only thing I see he missed was the oil of r22 is not compatiable with 134a and can cause problems down the line. And the 134 charge ans 22 charge are NOT the same. The difference between 12 asnd 124 is a factoe of about 4 - about 1/4 as much 134 as 12. Not sure the ratio with 134 and 22. And solder is NOT allowed in refrigeration - it has to be brazed with phosphor bronze (or silphos) I have seen plenty of systems running for years with 95/5 "hard solder" joints. |
