Chrismaz5 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Never miss an opportunity eh!! Luckily mines working great at the moment, but if it wasn't I'd certainly be gratefull for a re-gas in this weather. Link to comment
blue boy Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 You shouldn't need a regas unless there's a leak then that needs sorting first. Link to comment

If the system is not used for a while you tend to loose some of the gas via the seals, 134a is particularily searching in this respect. Andy Link to comment

Basically they are fridges ask yourself how may times you have had your fridge or freezer re gassed! Link to comment

Although fridge systems are known also known as heat pumps they don't actually use pumps. The four main components of a system are; compressor, condenser, let down valve and evaporator.

blue boy Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Exactly Andy still unlikely to get a leak or is leek? Suppose it depends if you are welsh! Link to comment

blue boy Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Have a word with Prosport Pete J perhaps you can arrange to do regassing work for him. Link to comment

Anyway didn't want to go into to much detail before I get called a sado. Andy Link to comment

We go to great lengths to try and prevent loss off refrigerents from our fridge systems to ensure compliance. 134a or Tetrafluoroethane to give its non trade name, will actually permeate through some materials without having a physical leak.

ZippyEFC Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Andy i guess you know what Polytetrafluoroethane is then Link to comment
*Andy* Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 << Andy i guess you know what Polytetrafluoroethane is then >> PTFE, funnily enough I worked on the plant that produces the raw material from which it is made. Andy Link to comment
