I bet he saw something that made him think he had found an improvement. He may not know why it works. If it really works, we can figure out why later. Either way. He says it works, so either take him at his word and try it. Maybe it will work. Remember, it might not work, and that's the risk you take.
Take care,

KeloGes says he did the "reverse the flow" retrofit/conversion for at least 2 clients.

Can you imagine ANYONE committing the shop time & expense without a solidly based sales spiel?

Not exactly a try it, you'll like it type of salesmanship one could put over.

Or was he his own "client"..?

Or did the 2 conversions as free "gift" as her seems to have wont to do.

I think he had an idea, and tried it out on client #1. It seemed to work so he used it on client #2. Since he was installing full systems, not that much extra to Reverse condenser order. I am certain he is convinced that it works well. No real before and after, but he is happy with the after results.
I think that is all we are going to get. So if someone is doing a full install, he might file this idea away and try it. Seems like 20 feet of hose and 4 fittings. Seems like pretty easy to undo it if needed.
Until then we have Reid's word and impression of success.

Well, Reid, it seems that a lot of stupid has built up in Florida. Do you know the boiling point of R134a? Would it surprise you if I told you that it is a lot lower than 0* C? A LOT lower. In fact, it is -26.3*C. So, despite your hilariously incorrect assertions otherwise, it is very possible to have vent temps lower than 0*C. Not only that, I know for a fact that these cars can make them, because I saw it repeatedly on my car. But I live in a very low humidity area, so I don't have to worry about evap freeze up. Since the system is in recirc mode, it is possible to have extended periods of sub-freezing dry air coming out of the vents.

Your lack of science knowledge puts into question your ability to engineer anything. I absolutely think there is a liar in this thread, but it certainly isn't Ronnie.

I think you are correct. Unfortunately, Reid doesn't have any credibility, so his repeated assertions carry zero weight. I wouldn't replumb my system unless I knew there would be real and tangible benefits to doing so. I would need more than the ravings of some self-important internet loudmouth. Well, I actually believe Ronnie, so I guess I don't need too much more.

I'm glad you're finally going to stop posting here, Reid. Your disruptive nature does nothing to improve the technical discussions on 911 AC.

No one is arguing otherwise.

Not only that, I know for a fact that these cars can make them, because I saw it repeatedly on my car. But I live in a very low humidity area, so I don't have to worry about evap freeze up. Since the system is in recirc mode, it is possible to have extended periods of sub-freezing dry air coming out of the vents.

That's only if you, and your passenger(s) hold your breath and don't perspire for an "extended" period.

Low humidity or no, eventually you will need turn down the "cold", the problem is knowing when.

This thread is beyond stupid at this point. I'm just going to go water the plants sitting in back of my Targa/greenhouse and enjoy this Florida heat.

BLACK SWAN
Client One HAD first test, test 1 was everything temporary

Test 1 went beyond excellently good temporary hoses and fittings were removed

Test 2 same clients 911, full install of everything
Followed by a week or so of testing in all types of driving situations ensued
Results WoW it not only worked, it worked WoW
Cllient very happy took delivery

6 months later Client 1 brought back in a/c warm,; Investigation discovered very slow hose leak. Hose was properly repaired, A/C recharged
Further testing ensued, results were WoW Yahoo during South Florida's HIGHEST temperature ever recorded 95 degrees ambient in extremely high humidity cabin vent
temps 30s degree's NO EVAPORATOR Freezing

BLACK SWAN Client one

Owner Extremely happy, has had back for about 2 years since original reverse the gas's install to say the least

Have you finally come to the realization that you're beating a DEAD horse.??

" works good ", not BETTER, but only good...!

Do I notice a trend here?

You're no longer touting this as an improvement?

The owner is extremely happy to say the least!

It uses only 0.95 lbs R134A refrigerant

This test was accomplished using a couple of pieces of hose fittings and hose clamps

All the existing hose was only disconnected and left in place until the next day so the shop owner could see how well the test worked

He liked MY INVENTION so well it was completed the next day using the new invention!
He has done several 911's since The Black Swan using my invention for his clients
Why not have the shop owner vouchsafe for your invention...?

Porsche Crest A/C TEST RESULTS 3 WENT GREAT as expected!“reversing the gas’s”

Test III The TAN Swan

The TAN Swan was a very complicated A/C project in every way possible
For this 911 I redesigned the whole A/C system into NEW TECHNOLOGY, and it took several months to do, not days or weeks; I am talking about everything, not just this or that component.

Regardless the gases for the A/C system are controlled and metered by a VOV valve and a thermostat instead of a thermal expansion valve, it has my front and rear PFC’s, The Front PFC heat exchange is by a very large proprietary high CFM blower, Rear Sealed into the Deck Lid PFC is cooled by the engine fan

And of Course “reversing the gas’s”

The A/C TEST RESULTS WENT GREAT as expected!

This 911 easily gets A/C vent temps in the 30s @ 92 degree’s ambient even with high humidity and DOES NOT FREEZE UP; the engine oil temperature change is negligible temperature rise when the A/C is turned on our off with this discovery installed!

The owner is very happy with the results to say the least
The Tan Swans owner has had it back now for about a year since reversing the gas's was installed as part of his complete A/C being replaced with a my technology A/C system


I think that as information about my discovery of “reversing the gas’s” goes out to the world for Free, you will soon see 911 early model owners worldwide switching to this discovery if they use A/C; only time will tell?

Reid Kelly

The only thing missing on Test III The TAN Swan new technology a/c system
was digital control

I finally have that NOW too for what I will be doing in the future

I don't understand how you can claim this a "large proprietary high CFM blower" when it is sold by several SPAL distributers available to the general public and for your information you are not the first to use it.

This blower did not come from from a distributor it came from the manufacture engineering team

I am required to say it is proprietary as part of the sales agreement

There's a KelogGes equivalent in the Spal supply chain...???


I never knew that....!
