Hydrocarbon Conspiracy

PDF Document - Hydrocarbon Conspiracy:
Scared to turn the air conditioner on because of the high electricity costs?
If you want to save on lighting, you replace halogen and fluorescent bulbs with LED.
If you want to save on air conditioning, you replace the refrigerant gas with a different type of refrigerant gas that can do the job more efficiently.
Save about 30% off the running costs.
Some jurisdictions (for reasons only known to them) don't permit the use of energy efficient refrigerant gases. Something to do with the gases being flammable. Ironically, the gases they do permit are also flammable. Complying with the official safety requirements is simple. A technical crash course and resources are provided absolutely free of charge.


The use of hydrocarbon refrigerant gases is restricted in some jurisdictions because they are flammable.
R32 is the gas that comes with air conditioners sold in the shops.
Ironically, R32 refrigerant gas is flammable too, and so are HFO refrigerants.
Someone is lying.

I've also open sourced some of my other research. You'll have to read on as to why I've done this.

RJ45 to DRED pinouts. I released this one after pulling apart a DRED controller, probing it with my multimeter, and checking against what little information is available on the internet.
