Do refrigeration engineers really fall prey to "big pushes" when everything they need to know about a gas is represented in those charts they use?

- serf 4y agokick-backs that produce inter-corporate relationships are vast and numerous. if X engineer is treated to a real nice dinner and game tickets by Company Y representative , very few charts will sway their opinion. tl;dr : most corporate products are not shaped purely by economic and efficiency metrics.
- whatshisface 4y agoYeah, both companies can easily do that, it doesn't change the balance.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoThat is corruption.
- semi-extrinsic 4y agoIn general you need to build the whole heat pump (incl. compressor) for the specific refrigerant and application you have in mind. So if you have an existing line of products using synthetic refrigerants, and a dozen factories around the world making those, you might very well choose to listen to a manufacturer of synthetic refrigerants pushing a new fancy one, rather than decide you need to re-engineer all your products for natural working fluids.
