GTS Aircon recharge?

Guys. Some of the Gas escapes naturally trough rubber hoses. Don't now the english word for it, but in German it is "Diffundieren". This means, that even if the system is leak free, there is some gas escaping. It can cause up to 10% loss in Gas over a Year.

Pretty sure @Zep might have something to say on that, but I could be wrong....

I do. Type C hoses have a permeation rate of 0.28kg per m2 per year at 60 deg C and the rate drops significantly at lower temps. So yes, it might lose a tiny amount but nothing like 10% a year. I’ve seen stationary systems that have run for 20 years with flexible hoses and never needed any additional gas.

Still got ice cold ac after recharge!

Hoping it stays that way
