I'm no expert, but they use R404A refrigerant with a mystery secret additive that the manufacturer wouldnt tell the techs that came out to install two new compressors to them. I did overhear 'reclaim and bump up with regular R404A' I sense a long-term problem brewing....

Our corporate overlords base our yearly bonuses on profitability and safety. If our incident rate is over something like 1.08 for the year, we get punished, for example. I'd say it's safe to say that they highly value both factors.

I'm not entirely sure I disagree with him...? Danger does still exist even in very safe working environments and there's a point of diminishing returns where more risk hunting doesn't provide additional good? Whatever point he was trying to make got buried under long winded pedantry made specifically to start an argument and I probably should have just called him an idiot and moved on, too late now my finger is already hovering over the post button here we go E: vvv now that's a proper fucklin' redgubbinz fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Oct 29, 2020 |

Yeah, but just simply based on this post it seems like you can get some nuance on the issue and have a conversation about it. The reaction to the other poster is built on a well established history and it always just ends up with multi page arguments and maybe probations. `Nemesis fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Oct 30, 2020 |

I've had phanatic on ignore for years and every so often I'm like "hmm, why is this poster on ignore again?" and I click on a few of their posts and am like oh. right i believe it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aligot, not cheese CommieGIR posted:The thing about aircraft engines, especially for small aircraft, is that they don't produce a ton of power, but they do so reliably and generally have different metallurgy and max RPMs versus their road going cousin. Most 4 stroke aircraft engines run more like 2 strokes, but can do so for hundreds of hours without issue. The main difference between an aircraft engine and a car engine is that the aircraft engine is designed to run at full throttle, putting out near its maximum power, for most of its life. An average piston aero engine, like say the O-360 in a Cessna 172, has a 360 cubic inch displacement and produces perhaps 160 horsepower, for a power-to-displacement ratio of 0.45 hp/in3, or 27 hp/l. Out of context, that's goddamned terrible; an average econobox engine can easily double that figure, and even a moderately tuned sports car (let's say a Honda S2000) can produce upwards of 100 hp/l. The problem is that the S2000 "cruises" at like 30-40 horsepower and rarely if ever hits its maximum output. If you tried to hold the S2000 at full throttle and redline, producing all 200hp from its 2.0 litres, you'd blow it up in a matter of minutes. The airplane engine is massively oversized for the power it produces, meaning it's under very little stress and can go thousands of hours at cruise power (75% throttle or more) with no failures. This is a fundamental design concept that a lot of genius homebuilt aircraft designers don't really grasp. They see that the Lycoming is only making 110hp from 3.8L while a Buick 3800 can get like, 350 or something so jeez those airplane engines really suck. Putting the car engine in the plane is so obvious??? Why has no one thought of this before??? The max RPM is more about propeller limitations than engine limitations btw. You can't have the tips of the blades going supersonic so your max RPM is gonna be defined by that value. This keeps a 60-80" propeller like you'd have in a small GA plane going no more than ~2500-3000 RPM. You could use a smaller-diameter prop but then you'd get less thrust because of the reduced swept area. You could get the swept area back by making the blades thicker and adding more of them, as seen on high-performance propeller planes, but that's a lot more complicated and expensive than just keeping the RPM down so it's rare on the small ones. Tradeoffs. (I don't know what you mean by airplane engines run more like 2 strokes; except for actual 2T engines in ultralights, they're all very much 4 stroke engines, nothing weird) Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Oct 30, 2020 |

Yeah I wondered about the two stroke comment myself, because from my experiences with two strokes, they're the exact opposite of how your described airplane engines. High output for the displacement, and commensurately extremely highly strung engines.

zedprime posted:Are you sure the manufacturer wasn't saying something more like "you can't blend your own 404a"? You usually don't use additives with an azeotrope blend because you risk breaking the azeotrope and liquid or vapor locking weird legs. Nope specifically the tech were bitching about the manufacturer was refusing to tell them what's in it. Although I am listening to fridgies... so from my experience, intelligence doesn't come with the job. Content:

If anyone is wondering what happens when you don't stay within this constraint: quote:The XF-84H was almost certainly the loudest aircraft ever built, earning the nickname "Thunderscreech" as well as the "Mighty Ear Banger".[16] On the ground "run ups", the prototypes could reportedly be heard 25 miles (40 km) away.[17] Unlike standard propellers that turn at subsonic speeds, the outer 24–30 inches (61–76 cm) of the blades on the XF-84H's propeller traveled faster than the speed of sound even at idle thrust, producing a continuous visible sonic boom that radiated laterally from the propellers for hundreds of yards. The shock wave was actually powerful enough to knock a man down; an unfortunate crew chief who was inside a nearby C-47 was severely incapacitated during a 30-minute ground run.[17] Coupled with the already considerable noise from the subsonic aspect of the propeller and the T40's dual turbine sections, the aircraft was notorious for inducing severe nausea and headaches among ground crews.[11] In one report, a Republic engineer suffered a seizure after close range exposure to the shock waves emanating from a powered-up XF-84H.[18]
