Start Run Capacitor Failure, Causes

An AC motor run capacitor such as the CBB65 SH usually explodes when it is forced to work beyond its electrical or thermal limits, or when the start‑assist components fail and leave it in the circuit too long. This overstress breaks down the dielectric, creates internal gas and pressure, and…

R134a vs. R600a Compressor Conversion

Switching from R134a to R600a requires more than just changing the gas. This guide explains the critical "Displacement Rule"—why R600a compressors need nearly double the cylinder volume of R134a units to produce the same cooling. We cover charge calculation (45% rule), oil compatibility, and safety protocols for the modern artisan.
