Ever ask yourself why the propane leak detection system is old school? Here’s why: “Halide Leak Detector A halide leak detector typically uses acetylene or propane gas. After ignition, the flame from this gas heats a copper disc. Attached to this bottle of gas is a hose that is used as a sniffer to check for leaks. As the hose is moved, air is drawn through it and into the burner of the detector. When a leak is detected, the flame will change to a greenish color. A halide leak detector is dangerous to use in confined spaces or flammable areas. Never use a halide device to check a system that contains a highly flammable refrigerant because an explosion could occur. Certain refrigerants will break down when exposed to the flame and cause phosgene gas, which is poisonous.”
You apparently haven’t blown yourself up yet but I do detect some possible nerve damage.
LOL..... your a trip dude/dudette. Any well-trained monkey can copy and paste. Next you’ll be telling me that refrigerant dyes are killing muvver earf and destroying the ozone layer as well as causing cancer in rats and kitties.
Speaking of blowing oneself up, back in the day I cleaned car parts with a parts brush in a pan of gasoline with a lit cigarette hanging from my mouth. Did it for years and still do from time to time. Oh noes.....
