CLEAN, Q R V —» REFRIGERANT
Own a refrigeration or air-conditioning system? Maybe you didn't know it but the refrigerant must be kept dry and free of acid. Even a tiny drop of moisture can cause expensive breakdowns, and corrosive acids cause sludge, with the same result. An exceptionally efficient drying agent, like ALCOA® Activated Alumina, is required for such an exacting job. That's why Ansul Chemical Company, Marinette, Wisconsin, uses ALCOA Activated Alumina H-151 in their T-Flo® Drier, illus trated. Specially treated by Ansul and called Andrite,® this amazingly efficient desiccant in pellet form does double duty . . . keeps moisture way below the critical level . . . picks up far more acid than could ever accu mulate. Result: fewer breakdowns, money saved. Shouldn't you investigate today?
Maybe you use grease or some other coating to protect metal from corrosion. Greasing takes time and money, degreasing takes more of the same. It's easier—and cheaper—to control the humidity o f your warehouse with ALCOA Activated Alumina. This effective drying agent keeps moisture and rust out. Shouldn't you investigate today?
