fractionation
Hello,Been a log time since I have been here.But I got some really good answers from this site.So I thought I might try again.
My question is can you charge r12 and r502 as a vapor without getting fractionation of the remaining jug

Yes.
R12 is a singular refrigerant, whereas, R502 is an azeotropic refrigerant, which is a funny way of saying you can't boil off one without the other.
Or are you talking about a mixture of the two in one tank? If that's the case, you got me there, but I would think the higher pressure gas would try to make a quicker escape (boil off faster/sooner) than the lower, which is why you charge blends in the liquid state.Is this a Fabreze moment? C.Y.D. I'm voting white elephant. 2¢.
My competition are my best salespeople!

Fractionation is only possible with R-400 series blends.
