How To Make Phosgene Gas | Nate And Sons

[@seanmann7765]

Congratulations we’re all on a government watchlist now

[@cobrastrike1491]

been here done that

It’s when you’re not on the watchlist the government gets curious

😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@screnzoyz7737]

Yes

[@JeezUriah]

Pressure test for certain first. Then you can weld all you want, it's even helpful to employ a fan to disperse the residual refrigerant (because you can't reclaim all of it)

[@BJ-dz9vk]

Figuring out the problem. Testing and right back to figuring out the problem. Don't leave till that thing is working for sure. Love that dedication.

[@lorettasantos4489]

Phosgene is the chemical synthesis combination of chlorine and carbon monoxide ,but can be created by open flame breakdown of freon....

How was I supposed to not click on this when I saw it

[@Bluecheese661]

Had my first contact with phosgene today from an r-22 compressor changeout that shit's rough

[@nateandsons1068]

It's always a good idea to make sure the air is clear before using your torch.

[@smirfzilla]

I have so many questions about phosgene that google is a little under-specific on. You can get enough to cough and choke and you'll still be okay? If im torch cutting a drained r 22 line, will i know i am breathing any phosgene? Will i feel it or smell it?

[@ferra766]

Oh you'll know😂 that stuff is hard to miss. I've had a few hits here and there and it is not fun... sucks the life out of you. But you'll be fine. I hold my breath but sometimes you just gotta breath... that's when it gets ya! You'll more than likely be fine unless your out there LOOKING to breath it in.

[@chiefwiggie3686]

Do you guys not pressure test before adding Freon/refrigerant ?

[@nateandsons1068]

If we suspect a leak we will pressure test before we add refrigerant. In this case there wasn't a leak before we replaced the compressor. So we didn't suspect there would be a leak after the compressor was replaced, but we ended up creating one when we moved the condenser out and back in.

@@nateandsons1068 cheaper to check before charging. It’s common practice in Australia 🇦🇺

[@erichofacker]

its common practice in the states too you just get people who dont follow guide lines pressure testing also makes sure your joints are solid at operating pressure this is just mal practice i was wondering if he pulled a vacuum on it probably not a micron gauge would have saved him a head ache even if he didnt pressure test @@chiefwiggie3686

[@JW-qp5uf]

did you have to reclaim again after the leak, or was it a total loss from the leak?

[@nateandsons1068]

it was a total loss from the leak, lucky for us that case isn't that big so not much was lost.

[@sensatorclause7436]

I was in the hospital for a week after I got exposed the phosgene gas my lungs hurt like hell and it was hard to breathe

[@nateandsons1068]

yeah, it can be very bad. lucky for me my exposure was very limited.

[@jlg8689]

What Refrigerant was in the system? Does R410a create phosgene if burned?

[@nateandsons1068]

this system has 404a in it. I am not sure which component when burned makes phosgene. I originally thought it was chlorine but I am not sure.

[@sicarface]

@@nateandsons1068 normaly phosgene is a connection between co2 and chlorine but it can also be produce by burning chlorine containg plastics like pvc (polyvinyl chloride)

[@chiefwiggie3686]

Surly dose

[@giansieger8687]

Any refrigerant containing a chlorine atom runs the risk of creating phosgene gas such as R-22

[@Jpiccinino]

@@nateandsons1068 phosgene forms when chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds are exposed to high temperatures. R-404a is an HFC. Burning HFC refrigerants cannot produce phosgene because HFCs contain no chlorine, however they do contain fluorine and so produce hydrogen fluoride (hydrofluoric acid) which can be as bad or worse than phosgene.

[@Navoii.]

Get ready, Paris

[@psion0027]

How long lasting are effects of that gas?

[@nateandsons1068]

Once we went outside my eyes stopped burning, my lungs hurt for a few hours after the job was done and I was nauseous for a few hours as well. After that everything seems fine. But I'm sure it all depends on the level of exposure.

im sure it smelt great in there lol
