Density does not matter much when it comes to diffusion. It has to do with random collisions and random motion. Perfume is heavier than air but it mixes well.Originally posted by Jim Davis
The most correct answer comes from field testing not a book. CO is always higher on the second floor of a house than the first floor. CO is always higher at the ceiling than at the floor.
A book fact is that R-22 is heaver than air. How does it destroy the ozone layer?
Dust is heavier than air, but There is still dust on top of tall cabinets.If the superheat ain't right it ain't charged right.

Buy a heat pump. Park your car outdoors. Problem solved.

Yeah that'll work with outdoor temps in the 0 degree range and electric rates at rediculous rates.Originally posted by HVAC Pro

Even with electric heat we'd be freezing our a$$es off.
Gee I wonder why fossil fuels are used to heat all those houses in the norhern climates? And a huge part of the economy relies upon it.
There couldn't possibly be a rational explanation for it.
I had electric baseboard in a small apartment 20 years ago. Even back then my electric bill was $150/month.
