Yep. It has been awhile and I forgot to make the distinctions.

K, I never saw one of those, only the carbon tet ones that were cylinders with a pump handle on the end. Makes more sense now. But... man you'd have to be really, really dumb to not realize the difference between a glass bottle type intended to shatter and steel cylinders with a trigger, hose, etc. I guess if a fire truck were available, they'd drive that into the fire too.

"Freon" gets the pedantophiles all lathered up, though.

If you did, then can you explain why you'd illustrate a story having to do with formaldehyde corrosion with a picture of salt-water corrosion?

The term "efficiency" is not applicable to heat pumps.

The Ceofficient of performance is unrelated toany of the things you mention.

If there are leaks, it is down to poor design/assembly.

Yea, the leaking units are probably designed and manufactured by drunk Limeys in The U.K. ^_^

As usual, you're full of shit, harry.

Q/W sure sounds like "efficiency" to me, harry. The units for 'Q' and 'W' commonly used may not be the same but they drop out in the arithmetic.

More bullshit from harry.

What do you think one of the E's in SEER stands for? Look it up.

More nonsense. If you use thinner tubing, then for the same size heat exchanger you can transfer more heat which effect the COP.

that increased efficeny benefits everyone

for the user of the AC, or any appliance it saves money for electricity

even people that havent purchased a new higher efficency whatever benefit, the lower energy use saves electricity, which helps to prevent more power plants building which costs very big bucks...

The money you save on electricity is paid to me in big bucks to repair, add or replace, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
