It's been about a year, and it's getting damp in the basement again.
The Santa Fe isn't working this year. I found some new info about this ProSeal. It's not for R410a units anymore. I looked for the reason and found out the R410a pressure is too high and could explode the can! So, I'm going to figure out how to pre-load a long hose with ProSeal and then inject it into the system with some nice R410a behind it.. |
Uhmmm, who did dat? Obviously somebody injured themselves, so now nobody can have nice things...

It lives!
I guess a little tin can with a bit of propane for propellant can't stand up to R410a pressures.
Anyways, I sucked the air out of a hose (with a cut-off valve), connected it to the can adapter, opened the cut-off to fill up the hose with ProSeal, and then moved the hose over to the Santa Fe and pushed in the ProSeal with R410a. Once I turned on the R410a tank, I had just a few seconds before 23 oz was gone. I ran it for 2 hours and it work okay. About like it did before. I can't detect any R410a leakage! I hope that ProSeal holds for a while! Left it on, and the basement air feels much nicer now. Summer seems to be starting here. Last week, I got to wear shorts to work (babysitting). It's been pretty warm. But, I just saw the forecast for Monday, and it's back to March again. Cheers, Rich |

Still working, keeping our food storage rations from being spoiled by the humidity. (Can't go to the store, might catch COVID19).
I have the Santa Fe plugged into a smart socket that's turned on 12 times a day, on the odd numbered hours. On each odd hour, it runs for 18 minutes (or less if it's dry). It keeps the RH in the basement around 50% on average. When it's rainy, it comes up to about 51 to 52% average RH. Check out today's plot, the Santa also warms up the basement a bit. It's been damp weather a lot (& we have a swamp on the back edge of our lot), & the bill is currently showing $10 per month for keeping it dry down there.. |
