hcfc225 and charcoal filters

(1/1)

kennymcmack:
Does anyone know if activated charcoal filters will work on removing HCFC 225 vapors from the air.  We work with the chemical for cleaning purposes and we need a filter on our tank vent.  Any suggestions?

TheBigF:
HFCs (which are related) are absorbed on activated charcoal - there have been some papers on using HFC-134a in this way in a different refrigerator design. However, I don't know whether they would take out enough of the HCFCs for your application.

Have you approached suppliers of charcoal filters to see if they spec. their carbons against fluorocarbons?

kennymcmack:
no i haven't yet, but i will. thanks alot for your help
