Summary

The report assesses procedures to remove contaminants from refrigeration systems. It compares methods for mineral oil removal, for conversion of R12 systems to use R134a, including "triple-flush" approaches, variants thereof, and flushing with terpenes. Process alternatives to clean motor burnouts in systems using hermetic and semihermetic compressors are also surveyed.
