--- Quote from: langwadt on September 01, 2022, 06:14:31 pm ---you don't have a gasoline circulating inside the cabin, the risk is the evaporator leaking make the cabin a bomb, with a bit of luck the brushes in the fan will set it off at the right moment afaiu the few car ACs that use r290 have a secondary heat exchanger so that the evaporator isn't in the cabin air loop --- End quote --- Sure, but does it matter? Fires that start in the engine compartment spread to the cabin extremely quickly. Propane has a scent added to it that makes it reek of rotten eggs, it's not going to fill the cabin without me noticing and it would have to be a very fast leak to matter. It's lighter than air so it is easily vented, and 6 ounces is a small quantity. Every leak I've ever seen in a car A/C system has been under the hood, and most of them have been slow, dumping the charge out over a period of months or years. It doesn't concern me at all. |

Last year I have looked into these bricks as a light weight solution to upgrade my shed but the specs say these aren't suitable for outside walls. --- End quote --- They absolutely are intended for outside walls. Our 2004 house uses those. |

Never heard about such a thing. |

Throw this into Google translate: https://www.wienerberger.nl/product/binnenmuur/producttypen/porotherm-metselblokken-pm20-en-pm25.html I'm simply going by what the manufacturer recommends to use their products for. |
