I hope someone can explain. Based on what it is. If its Azeotrope: nothing to worry about. If its zeotrope, well... Will someone shed some light here.

For those who havent seen these words before, they refer to a blended
refrigerants tendency to have its elements separate and hence its composition change under certain leak conditions. someone referred to this the other day. Made me curious. so now I need to know.

Azeotrope :does not fracture.
zeotrope : will fracture under certain conditions
Near Azeotrope: unlikely to fracture.

Now the question is, which refrigerants fall in to which catagory, and what does it mean in practical terms.


Rather that have someone waste their time trying to explain this, is there a web site that does a good job, getting in to specific products and how they relate to this phenomena?

Thanks guys and gals.

Lawrence
