RE: Noisy air conditioner when cycling off

I came up in automotive A/C so I'm sure you have seen more marine A/C units than I have. One of the reasons that I posted what I did is because almost any one can do the fix that I talked about. Few of us have the meters, gauge sets, vacuum pumps and freon to do more extensive repairs. I always carry all my A/C repair stuff including a 30 pounder of R22 on the boat.

Your article is really interesting and well put together. It looks like they are doing the same thing with R417 and R-22 that they did with R12 and R134. ie It's not as efficient but it's better for the atmosphere. And of course later we found that wasn't exactly true either. Thanks for the info.
