What to do with compressor ac oil?

Has anything of real importance been said on this thread besides the used compressor oil is worth about a dollar or so a gallon?



Seems that it's mostly a distraction away from doing any real thinking.

Given the high value of the oil ... there might be a good recycling business opportunity that has been overlooked. The Freon removal company that provides service to us ... separates all of the Freon it collects and re-sells it. There's pretty good coin in it. There might be money in reprocessing the oil for reuse as well.

I can't even begin to imagine how many drums of oil a large scale manufacturing facility of refrigeration compressors must go through in a year.

Alloy's a bit like a one man band trying to be fancy.


As for recycling the oil I checked on it and found that there is mostly advertising selling the equipment to recycle the oil or businesses that sell it, but you have to get a quote from them.

The powers that be don't want to make recycling easy when they can make more on the new products.

Plastic bottles make more money then glass in the long run if you count in the young children with cancers and such.

This world is set up so the powers in charge get the profits and the MA$$E$ do the work for peanuts.

Been that way all through out recorded history.

The message/poem at the bottom of the statue of liberty is fishing for dreamers that don't have a clue and are desperate.

The story is the same today, sure a few might make it, but MOST are kept poor as that's the way it works.

The ones that are behind the statue of liberty saga are the ones in charge.

Can blood sugar affect mental health?

A growing body of evidence suggests a relationship between mood and blood-sugar, or glycemic, highs and lows. Symptoms of poor glycemic regulation have been shown to closely mirror mental health symptoms, such as irritability, anxiety, and worry.

This should come as no surprise, as the brain runs primarily on glucose.

Maybe you should get your blood sugar checked out if you think that's your problem.

It seems to be standard practice not to advertise the price of high end specialty equipment. It's sort of like taking a group of business associates out to dinner at a nice restaurant. The prices aren't listed on the menu. That would be considered vulgar amongst the wealthy. You bring your people there for the dining experience and you pick up the tab at the end of the meal. The money aspect of it isn't a concern.

This is a rough analogy but it gives you the general idea. The sales reps for these specialty equipment companies aren't looking to do business with people like you and me because we can't afford to buy what they have to sell. They're looking to do business with a higher end customer that can afford to buy their product.

Pre-screening your customers saves a lot of wasted time & effort. I used to do it all the time when i was running my own small construction business here. I was in the business of selling quality workmanship that would stand the test of time. That's what i was good at. Other contractors were in the business of selling the cheapest thing to your average working class customer.That's what they were good at.

You get what you pay for ... and ... you pay for what you get. It's been my experience that a quality product is generally your best value over the long run.

Anyhow .... the reason i keyed on that one particular sentence is because i'm currently dealing with this issue IRL. I'm trying to improve the overall efficiency of the operation i'm responsible for. We've already got tentative approval for tens of thousands of dollars in government grant money. The next step is locating the right piece of specialty recycling equipment for what we need to do. Jeez ... if this works out ...it could cut our operating expenses by 80% for that particular aspect of the operation. The problem is that matching funds will have to be raised at the municipal level. It's gonna to be a hard sell even though the ROI is likely to be 5 years or less.

The powers that be have always had the " cheapest thing " mentality. It's cost them a fortune over the past 40 years to do things this way. There's the environmental impact to consider as well. Higher operational efficiencies generally translate to a lower environmental impact.

< sigh > Ohh well ... you do what you can and that's all you can do. Do the best you can with what you've got and leave the rest of the world to take care of itself. It all works out in the end.

If Diddy ever sees the light of day again, your number one client.

Johnson's Baby Oil is made with pure mineral oil that forms a silky barrier to prevent moisture loss.

Maybe they can smuggle some mineral oil to old Diddy when he's in prison. It's good as both a laxative and a personal lubricant. Chugga ... chugga ...chugga .... all aboard the Diddy train !

Be careful with anything that's got R-22a. That refrigerant is flammable. It's a mix of propane & butane.

It's funny .... you would think R-22 and R-22a would be the same thing but they're not.
