Aircon and refrigeration use "hydrocarbon refrigerants"-in other words propaneOriginally Posted by DangerousBastard
It's why the Tamahere coolstore went up.
Freon is no longer PC. Ammonia is too noxious.

Fuck off twat, as long as you (or anyone) persists with posting stupid shit I'll continue to point it out.
You have a problem with that then stop posting stupid advice.
You don't have a problem with that then stop your whining crybaby.
Now sure it may well have been a piss take, but there is always the chance, like the numpty who put CRC on his brakes to stop them squeaking on the advice of someone else, that someone takes something you say as genuine.
So I simply err on the side of caution and point out the stupidity.
Double shot!!
Ah yeah, cough, there is that. Most of my refrigeration systems are R406A - has some butane in it, but otherwise quite difficult to form an explosive mixture with air.
Tamahere - If they had hundreds of KGs of propane in there, I doubt it would be any less flammable than hundreds of KGs of ammonia. Either way, its going to be a fucking inferno. I'm surprised they don't have a way to flash off the refrigerant in a controlled fashion in the event of a fire. There is ALREADY a fire, so they might as well shoot it straight up and light it, rather than let it overheat, vent into a closed room, and then go boom.
Most supermarket refrigeration systems in NZ are ammonia based AIUI.
It's easy to put something in front of the public and watch them scream it down, KB stylez. Lucky its not my heart attack.

News to me after 20 years in the air conditioning industry.
407c, 134a and 407c are non flamable.
Freon is a brand name, you can no longer by R11, R12 and R22 is being phased out.
ammonia is a great refrigerent , I have used it in larger industrial plants...but you better be a good runner when it leaks.
I have never used propane but I understand it was used in cars for a time.

Tamahere was 95% propane....how would you flash that off in the event of a fire....? you being an expert BBQ cylinder carb cleaner and all..........
Ammonia is no where near as inflamable....but at least your consistant with your disinformation.
Hard to believe your involved in the refrigeration industry....or any industry for that matter.

Oh, he is involved in the refrigeration industry, but sorry I can't tell you how.

I can tell you what anyone else does for a living, but site rules prohibit me from telling you what db does for a living.
Apparently he gets very upset when it's mentioned.

Double shot!!
same way you flash any fucking thing off - pipe it straight upwards out the rooftop through a 4 inch pipe and light the fucker. What would you rather? A nice continuous orange flame venting harmlessly upward, or it to simmer away for an hour and then forcefully detonate?
It makes no difference how "flammable" it is. In fact, the more difficult it is to light off, the more likely it will accumulate and pre-heat below its lower explosive limit, before it does go up with a massive thunderclap. All good fun, but not appreciated by firemens' families and others who were not warned.
Just because I think differently to you is no reason to be a jerk.

I've witnessed an LPG "Bleve"
http://www.ema.gov.au/ema/emadisaste...7?OpenDocument
One of the scariest things I've ever seen. Blew me off my feet, and I was a block away. DO NOT TAKE VOLATILE LIQUIDS/GASES LIGHTLY.
One of the firemen played in our local rugby team. The skin on his hands melted and glued him to the fire nozzle, he was wearing all the safety gear. He now has webbed hands and scars on face/arms/torso.
If I can find the Cairns newspaper pic I will.
DB, its all fun till a few of ya mates are maimed. Not much fun then.
(I will make a safe soda blaster though):yes
A bit more about the bleve

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
