OK gotta ask:
Just exactly WHAT gets blocked
The Boiler tube.....
and what DOES the blocking ??
Sodium Chromate that has crystallized out due to over heating in the boiler tube due to inadequate circulation from improper leveling to ensure proper flow of the ammonia mixture.
Regardless if the refrigerant is ammonia or Freon, it is a gas at room temperature and a liquid when compressed.
How does this "cumulative" blocking happen ??
The crystallized sodium chromate will not redissolve into the ammnonia mixture so the process is cumulative and non reversible
