I do not currently have a Killer chiller however I have been reading all of the Kincade Killer Chiller threads. There where multiple mentions in these threads about the increase efficiency of the Enviro Safe R12a industrial refrigerant over the r134a. I checked and it was pretty cheap to buy online, so I got enough to recharge my A/C with. Who does not want colder A/C during the summer? I charged it to approximately 38psi on the low side because that was the consensus for where it worked the best.
12:00 Noon Today, Charlotte North Carolina, 90 Degrees ambient outside temps on the freeway easy, about 50% humidity. I put a Blue Point digital thermometer in the vent. 75 MPH 2100 RPM, the air comming out of the vents was 34.5 degrees F. Sitting still at idle it was 41 degrees with only the fan pulling air over the condenser. Other than working as advertised, the other neat thing about this stuff is that you don't have to pull a vacuum on the system for 1/2 hour to boil off any and all moisture. It does not become reactive with moisture like the r134 does. You just pull about 10hg vacuum and load it up.
My Schrader valve stuck open at the low pressure port when I tried to remove the quick coupler for the Manifold Gauge set. Therefore, I have ordered more of the R12a industrial refrigerant so that I can replace the Schrader valve in the low pressure service port. Right now I am holding the coolant in there by leaving the brass/aluminum quick coupler on there with the valve closed on it.
Someone on Modularfords told me that if I replace the orifice tube with the blue orifice tube from an 01 F150 then I will get more flow out of this refrigerant and thus even colder temps. So when I have to re-evacuate the system to replace the Schrader Valve then I will go ahead and replace the orifice tube / filter in the line. I already picked up the blue one from Autozone. It will be interesting to see if we can achieve 32 degrees F.
