Needing Compressor for my 80 Series

For the Ac

Thanks for that. Appreciated.
I am chasing a Compressor for the Ac in my truck.

We flush everything and replace the drier and TX. Newer vehicles they recommend you replace the condenser as well. If you dont get this done your compressor wont last and you wont get warranty

Hychill is highly flammable and will void your compressor warranty. It is also banned on all mining sites. I have done so many R12 systems with 134a and have never had one complaint. Been doing this for 20years

Thanks Ivan the terrible. Theres plenty of old chestnuts about Hychill....mostly by those who've never used it and listened to all the scaremongering.
1. yes its flammable, but there's been way more fires with r134a than HC, and when R134a burns it makes mustard gas, like r12 used to, and r134a burns cos its mixed with oil and has an auto ignition temperature of about 800 degrees, which is why it burns well with oil. When HC burns there are no poisonous fumes at all.
2. I have had compressor warranty with HC and its endorsed in Australia so they are not allowed to fail a compressor warranty for that reason. Also the white goods fridge manufacturers that shut down in Orange a couple years ago used HC like many other fridge companies still do. Look for R600a on your fridge....its HC.
3. Its not banned on mine sites ....exception with Queensland which i am not well versed about. In WA I know of at least one large mining company currently using it on every one of their sites, it was used in the Kalgoorlie superpit for many years until similar old chestnuts got in the way. In WA it is sold statewide by COV's, Bursons, Veales and many other outlets.
4. I have converted many r12 systems to r134a in warm climates and had many complaints, R134a is simply crap put up against HC. I guess had I not had any alternatives and explained R134a is the best I knew of I could have said everyone was happy with R134a. If you don't go where it is hot then R134a is great.
5. I also know some people have been exposed to R134a through slow cabin leaks, their lives are ruined cos r134a destroys your lungs if exposed for longer periods and they spend their lives not able to work, with health issues whilst taking steroids to try and "repair" their lungs. But no-one talks about such things cos its not nice.
6. R134a has now been phased out and is replaced with HFO1234yf (cars imported from Europe had it in since January 2017).Surprise, surprise HFO1234yf is flammable. Lol! Lol! And when HFO1234yf is burnt it is SO TOXIC that I am now happy for people to say R134a is perfectly safe and non-toxic.
7. I have been doing this for 20 years to and happy to address any questions about AC.

Care to put up your licence number Neil so we know your qualified?
To enter mine sites in Victoria you have to sign a stat dec stating you are not carrying on board or have Hychill in your vehicles AC system.

Thankyou for your reply Ivan,
But that's just another old chestnut by you suggesting that I might not be licensed cos I like Hychill (just another one of the party lines used to pretend Hychill is no good). Makes no sense to me why people say unlicensed persons use Hychill cos legally to put hychill IN you must still be licensed to take R134a OUT.
I am very highly qualified to make comment here but your tone concerns me and I will now back out of this conversation ....save for answering technical questions.
I stated a whole lot of technical facts (and left a lot out) of which you are free to ask for further clarification (but you did not). I only offered this information to be helpful.
I am more than happy if, one, some or many minesites don't allow hychill on their sites, there are lots of people who wet their pants when they only know half a story. I go places where I can't take alcohol....that doesn't mean alcohol is illegal.
I would be interested if you could actually quote any legislation etc that says Hychill is illegal (Im doubting you'll find it).
If you disagree with any statement I have made please feel free to inform me so that I can address it.

Licence number? I put mine up to show I'm qualified to comment on this subject. Anyone can waffle shit.

Look Ivan,
Im not setting out to cause any trouble. I was only trying to help out with the 80 series if it was manufactured before 1993 to save future problems with the 80.
I didn't see any license number put up by you. The detail you put up starts with AU, so it is a Trading Authorisation number held by a business. It tells me nothing about any person, and only proves that the ABN has someone in its employ who does hold a personal license. A persons license number starts with "L" followed by 5 odd numbers.
Can you explain what difference it would make to you if I put up my license number?
I am pretty sure that if you think the facts I stated above are not worthy of discussion and amount to "waffle" that you will still have that same view after knowing my license number.
In any case its the training behind the license that is important, I have done several courses over the years. The last one I did included required training on Hydrocarbon refrigerant. Clearly hydrocarbon refrigerant is here to stay, is endorsed by the government and is a great product. I don't understand the fuss over using this refrigerant. I have just googled the .gov training website and found where hydrocarbon MUST be included in current Automotive training courses, unlike another course I did some years back.
All the words that appear below this line are cut and pasted from a government website, for anyone who is interested I can post an actual link to what is required in that training course.
Kind regards, Neil

- application, purpose and operation of air conditioning and HVAC systems and
components, including:
- high pressure and low pressure sides of air conditioning systems

- refrigerants, including R12, R134, R1234yf and hydrocarbon refrigerants

L028961 now yours. Anybody can and have got on here and used Dr Google to pretend they know what they are on about. Locally the only people that use Hychill are idiots that dont know what they are doing and just want a quick buck. Anybody who knows what they are doing and aren't hiding anything gets a licence. Unless you fit a system yourself from scratch you cant touch it without a licence as all manufactured vehicles contain a gas that requires a licence to work on. And dont come with the "It was empty when I got it" bullshit either. If you have been doing it for 20 years you should have a licence!

Hi Ivan,
1. I doubt anyone who took the trouble to read this considers it possible that i do not have a license.
2. You did not answer my question, What difference it will make to know my license number?
3. This has really not been a good conversation so lets stick to technical matters/ not personal info.
4. I agree! and already said that persons saying it is ok to use hychill without a license is just a nonsense.
5. I disagree that only idiots use HC. I say many of them use HC to fix performance or prevent problems.
6. Did you know that OKA's were using HC on their production line?

Now now kiddies go and have your tanties somewhere else.

Thanks mountainman!
