Air Conditioning?

No Offense taken Nick!! We didn't build or specify the units, we just install them and try and make them work.

You guys need to get used to this, because the same Faively junk is going on your new Bi-Levels...

Yeah I realize a lot of non-ALMOST (I really like that!) stuff goes in and a lot of it stinks. I just hope the powers that be specifies to buy and use better stuff in the Comet VIs. They seem to be taking great measures so far to make sure the Comet VIs are solid cars when built. I just hope it keeps up. Have a good ID4!

If you go to Faiveley's website - http://www.faiveley.com - on the home page, there's a picture of a passenger who has apparently passed out from heat exhaustion :D Only in France!

Geez, I guess the French really aren't used to the heat and don't have a lot of air conditioning there. I remember reading that a summer or two or three ago, a LOT of the elderly died because of not having AC. It was one of the hottest summers in France's history.

15,000 heat deaths in France last year. We're buying A/C units from them?

Wow, I knew it was a lot, but didn't know it was that much! That must have had an impact on their population.

Hey BigC, is that a joke or have you become dislexic? If that's a joke, it's pretty funny! (No offence ABCD.)

Thanks Nick! I suspected you'd be the first to figure it out!!

Things are looking up though. Bombardier is building the bi-levels and if they are equivalent to the C4s in QC, it's all good!

Some of the best jokes are anagrams...

Or acronyms!!

Your welcome. I presume you are the author of that joke then. Very clever. Wished I thought of that one!

There are many types of freon. R12 freon production was banned by the Montreal Protocol in the early nineties. It was replaced by R134a freon for non-hermetic applications like autos and coaches. And it is this freon that is leaking from many Comet5s.

There are many types of refrigerants but not many types of Freon. Freon was a brand name used by Dupont for CFC refrigerants. Like Xerox it became a word used for the product in general. Dupont does not use Freon as a brand name for any of the non CFC refrigerants it now sells.
