Re: Low Side Gradually Decreases

It seems borderline as an advertisement post. Since you have all the data you need now. I'll debate removing this post. As it is a US-based site we do not promote the us if HC's refrigerate in general.

John, Cusser, T-bird. Keep it or remove it?

I vote for removal of the HyChill links.

Reasoning: Two out of the three links are marketing and sales oriented, promoting HyChill as an alternative HC refrigerant (mostly propane), which is not even considered a legitimate refrigerant in the USA. Furthermore, it is not US-EPA approved for use in MVAC systems.

Additionally, it is not compatible with today's RRR machines, no professional shop that I know of will want to service a system containing HC's, and no Manifold Gauge Sets are calibrated for it.

It is dangerous to work with because it is extremely flammable and also explosive in sufficient quantities—e.g., in bulk cylinders.

Lastly, this Forum does not endorse the use of any non EPA-approved refrigerants.
