Trane Air Cooled Chiller with Isceon 29

First, we should ask why bother to convert the unit in the first place. I don't know what's the price of the refrigerant you mention, but it's likely to be more than R-22. It's been probably two years since I bought any R-22, but it was not expensive.

Just checked Johnstone, it's about a C-note for a 30 pounder. I'd have to guess that Isceon 29 is a whole bunch more. So, you're taking out refrigerant that's designed for the unit, and put in something you're not sure about. And which is likely more expensive, and the factory doesn't say will work.

I also did a froogle search for Isceon 29 and found nothing. Google finds that it's a Dupont product.

I'd seriously consider reccomending that they stay with R-22. Converting to a not deisgned refrigerant can be done (and I've done at least a few). But it sounds like a serious headache for everyone.

Oh boy, where does one start?

You are kidding right? I mean...really....two years, and you havent bought any.....

Johnstone must LUV you.

NU22....look that up peckerhead. Consider that many units in Europe have already switched,.

Ummm......I haven't bought any R-22 in 3 years.....

I still have 9 cans left on that pallet

You are also wise. After watching R-12, I figured why take chances?

You are kidding right? I mean...really....two years, and you havent bought any..... CY: I stocked up when it was cheaper. Being the shrewd and wise person I am.

Johnstone must LUV you.

NU22....look that up peckerhead. Consider that many units in Europe have already switched,. CY: I was born and raised in the US. Why would I care what Europe is doing?

You dont get it. Two cans 5 years ago dont count as stocking up.

Umm...I really have to explain this one to you?

Here, allow me to clarify in simplist terms so that even you can understand.

Your post yet again shows the world that you are ignorant. You do not care to keep up with advancements, nor possible issues that will affect you and your "customers" (guiniea pigs)

Now, suggest you get the ICOR DVD if you can, and check into whats on the market. Informed owners and techs would already know about this. And no, I dont know anyone that can convert DVD to BETA. LOL

Go back and Google the Moron, and see where recently he stated he had to buy some.

There was a point being made there.

He lied, again.

Might wanna buy another one real fast. Prices just went postal here. only $50 between it and 410A. Silva-Braze jumped 150% too. I about had a damn fit the other week.

With propane? :-)

If you must change then why don't you retrofitted with R-407C which is whole lot closer match then any other refrigerant but you don't want advice from someone who is been more then twice around the block you are to smart for that Good luck from Dido

Dear DIDO, Aparently, common sense isn't very common any more. At least, not on this news group. Someone out there wanted to convert away from R-22, but it wasn't me. I did see an interesting use of R-22 a couple weeks ago. Used as refrigerant in an 8-hole ice cream freezer. Did some good cold temps, too. Minus 20 or so at one point of the sidewall. Interesting, cause I usually think of 22 for residential AC.

Gee...and I normally think of 134A in automotive, but golly gee wiz..there it is, used in freezers....

I miss 502. ;`(

Me, too. And I never worked with it. But the couple times I've seen it used, it was doing well below zero evap temps.

Umm.....how can you miss something you never had? I bet you miss Heavens Gate too...no..not the TV series...the ball less wonders that killed themselves when the coment came by...
