Lots of things hold on to water at that temperature by virtue of hydration energy. This is one reason you need a dessicant in the system to start with. Water is tenacious and wonderfully hard to get out of things. The "universal solvent" would rather stay dissolved. |

The vapor pressure on steam is pretty high and the surface tension of the oil at that temp is pretty low so oil would not hold it in. In R12 system they used desicant to keep mosture out primarily to prevent ice crystals from blocking orifce. On a R134 system, water reacts with R134 and forms a acid which eats aluminum so it is kinda REALLY important with a R134 system. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |
