No, but I do know about GHG-12 (R-406a). It was invented by George
Goble, world famous Unix god (first dual-VAX), at Purdue. Very smart
guy. R-12 compatible, cools better than R-12. Great stuff. The
chemical industry lobbied the EPA to not allow it in cars (have
to protect their profits), so for a long time it was legal to use
for refrigeration in almost all applications but cars. Now legal in
cars. See www.autofrost.com for info. He also has a R-134a coolant
replacement that cools better.
