Yellow Jacket Charging Hose 5 Yell 22060

The Yellow Jacket 22060 is a 5 foot yellow charging hose for refrigeration and air conditioning service.

The yellow hose's connection to a refrigerant cylinder during charging involves a consideration worth stating: cylinder orientation determines whether liquid or vapour is delivered.

A refrigerant cylinder held upright delivers vapour from the space above the liquid. Inverted, it delivers liquid.

For blended refrigerants this is not merely a convenience but a requirement. Blends whose components have different boiling points will fractionate if charged as vapour, meaning the composition entering the system differs from the composition in the cylinder. The result is a system charged with the wrong refrigerant mixture, whose behaviour will not match the published pressure-temperature data.

Such refrigerants must therefore be charged as liquid, with the cylinder inverted, and metered into the low side in a way that flashes it to vapour before it reaches the compressor, or charged into the high side with the system off.

Charging by weight, using a scale, rather than by pressure, is the correct method for these refrigerants.

Applications include refrigeration and air conditioning charging, recovery, and service.
