This is what's known as circular reasoning.

Without any form of proof, wwest claims overpressure is the cause of refrigerant loss.

Claimed..? I don't think so, suspect, theoririse, yes. But a question for youse, if not pressure, over-pressure, then what? The number of cars using this same hose out numbers Porsche by what. over a million to one? And not even single instance of non-barrier hoses being the cause of refrigerant leakage. But then how many of those either have BOVs or pressure switch compressor control?

Oh, and of course, none ould actually leak out in bulk, but it would be because of the added high-side pressure inside the hose. That he has no evidence for.

Other than the industry-wide use of BOVs, "fuses", or pressure switch that alleviated the problem for MILLION of vehicles using the very same type of hose.

But wait - a solution! Yes, folks, if you just cool off the condensers, then you magically stop losing refrigerant!

Or..add a BOV, a "fuse" or a pressure switch to control the compressor.

Let's look at this, shall we? Add $200 in fans, or $200 in hoses and o-rings. Looks like a wash to me,

"..a wash.." No, the hoses ONLY stop the leakage, the fans also help to bring the A/C up to "snuff".

and wonder of wonders - no more leaks. Why is wwest's solution better?

Wwest solution...2+2 = 4

Kuehl's new hoses...2 + 0 = 2


It isn't. But they both accomplish the same thing, IF and only if, wwest's claim about high-side pressure rise is valid.

Without proof, I don't believe it because of all the other stupid stuff he claims.

That's actually a break-through admission.

He makes the most stupid claims about driers, without knowing anything about WHY you replace a drier when you replace refrigerant type.

He claims the cavitation happens in air, and not only that, at evap blower speeds.

So now we're finally admitting that cavitation can occur in any "fluid"... LMAO.

But no, not "blower speeds", airflow rate/velocity/etc, but the airflow rate/velocity and turbulence at/near the boundary air level, surface, of the squirrel cage blower wheel vanes. Like the marine propellar, where the water, FLUID, cannot possibly move as fast, along with, the advancing propellar blade, so a high level of turbulance, NOISE, results, enough to actually separate the hydrogen and oxygen components..


He makes claims that 78 degrees is *the* level of comfort,

It actually is, do some reading...STUDY.

and then, after saying all this patently stupid stuff, he pretends like he knows something about Griff's motivations.

Something I hadn't considered previously - mental illness. Brad, that would answer some questions, for sure.
Which one of you is "Frack"? The other must be "Freck"...

Or is it Stan and Ollie..?
