CHARACTERISTICS OF R600
ADVANTAGES
•
Isobutane makes it possible to use a smaller
amount of gas compared to R134a (45%) with
greater yield.
•
Less sensitivity to humidity
(mineral oil)
•
Less noise from compressor
•
Lesser incidence of blockage
DISADVANTAGES
•
Greater attention to charges
(a few grams less/more can cause significant charge imbalances)
•
Greater attention to evacuation
(lower working pressures: greater attention to air infiltration due to the low pres-
sures reached)
•
Greater problems of gas flow noise in the circuit
