rx11 flush retrofitting?

[CoolWine]

I use Rx11 to clean my hands..

I hope you are kidding (but I bet it does work well), have you seen the MSDS http://www.nucalgon.com/assets/MSDS/English/4300-11.pdf
many of those types of chemicals can be easily absorbed into the body.

I would not put that stuff on your hands or breathe the vapors
Read the MSDS

Opinions on flushing lines when converting from r22 when lines cannot be changed. Is it safe to do those cans say can do up to five units, I did one in a town Home and had to change the dryer a week later the head would start slowly climbing until hi limit cut, I used a whole can just in case an no coils were involved both new??? Any takers

It's not recommended by Trane unless it's a burn out. They recommend nitrogen only!

Okay, so it was a lame attempt @ humor. I'll try to be funnier in the future!

We use Berryman's B-12 to flush linesets.....

I mean, what the heck....it works great to clean oil screens on Copelametic compressors....

When we first started installing 410 systems we pulled new lines and only flushed the ones we couldn't get lines in. Then we started flushing every change out with rx11 then it kinda turned into it doesn't really matter what u use freon co2 nitrogen rx11 as long as u flush em and then pull a good vac peace of mind keeps me using the rx11 followed by nitrogen then an extra long vac

Have been using rx11 to flush my line sets. A lots of it, until it comes out clear and than some more. Insane amount of nitrogen to get it all out. Than puling deep vacuum, brake with N and puling again. I tend to be paranoid. So far no problems. (Knock knock!) I attended a seminar where the system clean up has been discussed. Someone suggested to install suction line and liquid line filters and run the system for a day. Than, recover, remove the suction line filter, change the liquid line filter and charge with fresh ref. A good way to clean up the coils.

we have used rx11flush for quite awhile now. no problems, no compressor failures either.
we have lost only one compressor in 10 yrs.....unbelievable? yes....true....yes!!!! we always charge by subcooling, only put in carrier equipment, and always do routine maintenance for min 3 yrs.

ps.

when i say we have only lost 1 comp. that does not include the bristol 2 stg recip(lost every one)...we nolonger install anything with a bristol recip/and they dont make any units with either....

I havent had any issues either I wonder if its all a scam for money or if enough of the oil gets mixed it will sludge up and get nasty is that what the worry is? Most lines dont have much oil but there has been a few times I cut the lines and it pours out I cant explain that!

I say that only using it last summer so if any of em take a dump I wont know it til this summer, but I'm confident

As the manufacturer of QwikSystemFlush I will tell you if you have the time to do this it will certainly clean the lines but you have to recover and recycle the cleaning refrigerant and discard both driers. However, flushing the components (not compressor or expansion device) prior to reconnecting is certainly faster and cheaper. Our independent test results show it does a better job than R-11 would have done if you could still get it and better than other flushing products. Beware of imitators Qwik System Flush is in the Orange can. Don't believe me?Write me and I will send you a can to try. Just give your honest opinion after trying it
