The man oozes hunch power. The losers and slow-witted analysts are betting against him. That tells me everything I need to know. You don't have Buffet's buying power. His large share purchases can actually hurt the average investor, like yourself, that is if you actually put money where your mouth is. NYSX: OXY is at $62.87. B.H. got 5 billion in warrants at $59.62. If the stock price rises much they will use the warrants and drive down the share price back towards $59.63. So go ahead and buy at $62.87...

Sigh... A2L just means said refrigerant used is in the slightly flammable category but still non toxic.... Note it never said WHICH HFO refrigerant. The reason they were never chosen to begin with. Not because of efficiency. Flammability You want efficiency gains? Go with a 2 stage compressor pump, or 2 separate systems. Now by doing THIS, creates efficiency gains. MUCH higher initial cost, but higher efficiency. Probably what is happening with that LYING article. Or pure ignorance that fools like you post and think you are da shit... Efficiency is driven mostly by its compressor pump/condenser size/evaporator size, not the refrigerant. All the so called "efficiency gains" I have seen have been due to the manufacturers SHRINK the size of the compressor pump down to a TINY size making it run ALL THE TIME, therefore its range of its ability to COOL Something down is pitiful. Now one literally has to put a block of ice in your refrigerator to cool soups etc down. Old refrigerator ran for ~maybe 10 minutes an hour when warm out, new one runs for nearly the entire hour. Claims it is more efficient... Uses same Power(what a joke) Now said refrigerants temperature window can help efficiency at say, low end or high end of temperature range desired or allow a smaller evaporator/condenser to make it CHEAPER to build, but otherwise...

footeab@yahoo.com + 2,190 June 27 Ah, just looked it up on Honeywell's site... you know ... the guys who MAKE said refrigerants. Compared to old 404A, 455a is 1% higher energy density per pump cycle But is flammable and why it was not chosen to begin with as this LIMITS allowable charge size in say a major refrigeration single unit, thus your unit number must increase and total size decrease = more installation cost upfront and MAINTENANCE cost--> GENIUS move into retarded land... All because fools pretend this has Global warming "potential". Ah, but at least 455a nominally has a tiny bit less friction. So, great a fraction of a percent increase in efficiency here, but I now have to buy 4 units instead of 2 due to flammability charge limits per unit as I have heard building owners do not like burning down their operations... Another A2L is 454C... Why anyone would ever use this pile of junk I do not know as it is 91% as energy capacity dense as good ol' 404a and it has even more problems as it has MORE friction than 404a 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
