"Due To A Poor Harvest Season, We're Experiencing Shortages On Many (2025 Update)

not NEARLY as widely used as amonia/hydrogen

What the f*ck do I care about St Petersburg Russia?

Again, what is "widely"? I remember ammonia systems before CFCs but I doubt there were any residential CO2 systems doing anything and that is the bulk of the refrigeration industry. There are a few hundred million refrigerators, freezers and HVAC systems in dwellings from 5 ton McMansion systems to little window shakers in the US alone. China pledged to make a BILLION refrigerators. .

It blows a f****ng great hole in your stupid claim that draining a swamp produces floods and drought.

My Dad used to make Elderberry blossom wine every year.

Just worked on an amonia absorption system last week. Haver never seen a co2 system in my life.

Prior to CFC's being introduced, if you'll read carefully, CO2 was widely used. That would be the 1920's and earlier. Residential air conditioning was a block of ice and a fan. Frigidaire started mass producing refrigerators in 1918 so the block of ice was probably stolen from the ice box.

The GE monitor tops used sulfur dioxide. The obvious drawbacks lead GM on a search for something better in the late '20s and they came up with CFCs.

One small city in Fumbuck Russia is nothing like what they did in South Florida. You also can't use New Orleans as an example. That s*it hole floods all the time. So does Miami. BTW how do you know what happens in Russia. Surely you aren't going to say you trust Pravda to tell you bad news.

The kid who became my brother in law (Lived behind me) had a refrigerator that used ammonia with a regular compressor and evaporator design. We figured it out when they threw it away and we tried to scavenge the compressor.

And that’s likely what spawned you in the first place.

Bullshit. The St Petersburg Russia swamp was much bigger.

No swamp involved, stupid.

I get real radical and read some history.

You might try it sometime.

That swamp was drained long before Pravda was even invented, stupid.

Yes, they were common too - particularly ice plants. Many arenas make their ice with compressor actuated ammonia systems. Common in industrial processes as well.

Doubtful.

Miami? You re just too stupid to even respond to

Nope, and trivial to check that.

No DRAINED swamp involved, f****it.

How many times has New Orleans flooded seriously between 1950 and

How about Houston?

Steal a book.

Define seriously. They are so used to ordinary flooding it doesn't even make the news and they are one good storm away from devastation ... again.

Pity that’s always been the case, stupid.
