Heated hydrogen atoms are mean little ----------. They are the tiniest of atoms and they will eat their way through metals. Absorbsion refrigerators have enough hydrogen gas and it gets hot enough to cause impingement and embrittlement. The solution is costly. Early SERVEL brand gas refrigerators used Swedish steel cooling units. Infinitely better grade of steel, containing lots of nickel alloy and the tubing was twice as thick as what is found on today's mild steel RV refrigerators. The old Servels lasted decades operating 24/7. But weight and cost restraints prohibit this necessary practice on today's absorsbsion refrigerators. The result is a massively expensive Chew & Spit appliance.
