That may be true, but there is no known (by me) automotive application where propane is used for cooling.

The trouble is, all of his stuff works. Personally, I think that all that is needed is to shift into Reverse and back up a bit, but Mike likes to use a little more flair. It certainly doesn't hurt, but it is a bit excessive if you ask me. But, shifting into 4WD at speed is always a useful thing, and is far better than stopping to shift into 4WD -- which is completely unnecessary. Mike tends to use LO range more than I, but he is doing stuff where he needs power, I do stuff where I need extremely low speeds, that's E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y low speeds. He shows you extreme lack of > knowledge everytime he blows his cool. BTW, there are many big > commercail coolers/chillers that use Propane for cooling and have for > many years. That may be true, but there is no known (by me) automotive application where propane is used for cooling. Add your comment in another thread about using the Parking Brake as the only available braking system for a jaunt across town to affect repairs on the failed braking system, and as far I can tell, Mike gives better and more reliable advice than you have ever given. Bar none. Me thinks the lack of practical knowledge falls in your court ... |

So this scare got cooked up that Freon was destroying the planet and it got banned and replaced by another Dupont product with a fresh patent. Around the time that patent runs out we'll see them start to ban 134a and require the use of yet another refrigerant. I'm no fan of conspiracy theories but I believe this one. Jeff DeWitt |

The same might be said of the 13 oz propane torch bottles that nobody, including the fire department, worries about indoors. My lifetime sample size of a few dozen bottles has displayed a few slow-leakers. Or you just don't turn the torch off properly. One of those bottles, plus the spare in your toolbox, is about the same mass of propane to charge an auto air conditioner. You might want to consider the limits of flammability for propane in air. It takes quite a stroke of luck to get the right proportion from a given leak rate or given volume of enclosure. The hazard would seem to be quite comparable to a gasoline fuel system leak. Propane indeed has its hazards and should be respected, but being superstitious about it is imprudent. Anhydrous ammonia has been used in residential refrigerators. Propane is a kitten compared to that stuff. |

You know what, I have seen a whole bunch of blown campers from propane and have friend that lost parents from a propane bottle in the back seat leak, know folks that survived one with the top of the camper opened like a sardine can, deaf and burned, but alive, so the odds aren't 'that' bad..... I'll bet if you Google hit it there would be lots too. Mike |
