Propane based R22

[Coolingfolks]

The problem with some blended refrigerants is they have a different glide....meaning in the event of a leak, all the other ingredients may leak out leaving you with pure liquid propane. This stuff makes big fires!

propane does have the same boiling point at r22 but its just a lil more combustable.

Propane for all your heating AND COOLING needs!why didnt i think of that?

I have a customer that wants me to charge his HP with propane based R22. I have never heard of this refrigerant. He says he has used it and can get it cheap. I don't like the sound of it. Sounds dangerous to me. What is it?

what happens when the compressor shorts out internally and obviously makes sparks will it blow up???? or not since you need oxygen, i think it will still go
kaaaaboooom???? honestly its messed up think about it you have these hacks throwing it in these systems then here you go replace txv under normal procedures starts a huge fire now its on your insurance company, kind of not fair gotta becareful out there.

Propane's explosive limits are 2.37%–9.5%. It will not explode below or above these concentrations. It is very common as a DX refrigerant in household refrigerators in other countries and has been for a long while now. The amount required is only a few ounces. It is also widely burned in gas absorption refrigeration systems, so it really can heat and cool!

No oxygen, no boom.

Correct it needs oxygen to blow. When my reclaim machine failed last week it blew out a mist of refrigerant. Pretty sure that would have been a fireball with propane.
