NW KS/ SC ID | One year when Freon was high dad ran propane in place of Freon in the L2s and M2s. When it blew the short high pressure hose off the compressor going to the condenser dad cut the fitting apart and welded a pipe coupling to the steel fitting and then attached a premade hydraulic hose to it.
Cooled great the entire time.
I'm sure a HVAC guys eye is twitching over that one. Lol
I currently run Envirosafe, it's a propane/butane mix and I believe the butane is the secret to its success, cools great but doesn't require the high pressure that straight propane did for proper expansion rate.
A little more on topic with the original post, I would think an all propane house would be alot easier to enable one of my other ideas:
Why in the summer time do we have refrigerators and freezers dumping hot air inside the structure just so the house HVAC can remove the heat again? Would be nice to be able to plug into centralized HVAC and dump the heat outside to begin with.
In the winter you can have an alternative condenser that dumps its heat into the inlet of the furnace.
I suppose in case of a leak this system would effectively turn the house into a bomb which is one of many reasons why it hasn't been done yet. | |
