Bar's Leaks developed the Professional DiFM AC-1 A/C Stop Leak and Sealer to permanently seal rubber and metal leaks. With a non-clogging formula, this solution is compatible with all types of automotive A/C refrigerant. The formula also contains A/C system UV dye for leak detection and special synthetic oil seal conditioners for O-rings and gaskets.
GLASHÜTTEN, Germany -- The John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University announced Refrigerants, Naturally! as the recipient of the prestigious 2011 Roy Family Environmental Award. The award will be presented to the recipients at a Harvard Kennedy School event on May 4th 2011. The partnership was selected from a group of highly qualified projects from around the world. Reviewers praised Refrigerants, Naturally!’s impact on an important and often overlooked problem – persistent fluorinated gases (so called F-gases such as CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs) in our atmosphere – and held it up as a pragmatic and effective example of corporations and environmental organizations working together to reduce severe threats to the global environment.He did suggest one improvement: a warning label that could be attached permanently somewhere under the hood.A UNEP report released at the Cancun climate negotiations last year highlighted that even if countries fully implemented the pledges and intentions associated with the Copenhagen Accord, in the best case scenario they could cut emissions to around 49 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2020. This leaves a gap of around 5 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent that needs to be bridged over the coming decade - an amount equal to the emissions of all the world's cars, buses and trucks in 2005.3 Cutting “non-CO2 gases” including avoiding HFCs and improving energy efficiency of refrigeration equipment – as is being done voluntarily by the Refrigerants, Naturally! Partners - contributes to quickly close this gap.1 U.S. EPA 2004, “Determination of comparative HCFC and HFC emission profiles for the Foam and Refrigeration sectors until 2015,” http://www.epa.gov/ozone/snap/emissions/downloads/FoamEmissionProfiles_Part1.pdfThe consequences of the rapid growth in HFC emissions are sobering. Because they are persistent in the atmosphere, HFCs will be responsible for between 9% and 19% of CO2 equivalent emissions by 2050 even if we do not act to reduce CO2 emissions. If the reduction of CO2 remains the focus of climate change initiatives and nothing is done about HFCs, they will be responsible for between 28% and 45% of CO2 equivalent emissions by 2050.2Store wine on its side, ideally with the neck sloping slightly upwards so that the cork remains wet, the bubble of air is in the shoulder and any sediment will collect at the bottom of the bottle. This will make the wine easier to decant. Place the bottle with the label facing up or use written neck tags so you do not disturb a wine to identify it. Align the bottles so that the corks are visible - this will allow easy inspection for problems such as leakage.Refrigerants, Naturally! is taking action to combat global warming and climate change by replacing F-gases in refrigeration equipment with climate-friendly natural refrigerants and is successfully promoting the technology amongst other companies around the world.About the Roy Family AwardThe ideal cellar temperature is 12-15oC(53-59F) with a relative humidity of 65-75%. It is worthwhile using a thermometer to monitor summer temperatures. It may be a cause for concern if the cellar temperature goes much over 18oC(64F), as warm conditions will accelerate the development of your wines, possibly reducing the pleasure to be had from them.Scientific backgroundThe Roy Family Award celebrates an outstanding public-private partnership project that enhances environmental quality through the use of novel and creative approaches. By drawing attention to an exceptional partnership, the award aims to inspire others to replicate or expand upon the success. More info on
