Death Due to Accidental Air Conditioner Compressor Explosion

India. A 25-year-old AC mechanic and his assistant were repairing the compressor of a split air conditioner installed on the rooftop of a university building. Suddenly there was an explosion in the compressor, and both the persons sustained injury due to it. The mechanic died on the spot, and his assistant was admitted to a nearby hospital with burn injuries. Four laboratory assistants of the university, who were in the building at the time of the blast, suffered glass splinter injuries. At the blast scene, the entire AC unit was found completely pulverized and parts of it were lying scattered, along with the body of the mechanic.

Indians can't have electricity or A/C apparently. It is not Vishnu's will

Re: Death Due to Accidental Air Conditioner Compressor Explosion

I suspect the freon was serviced sometime in the past with propane, hexane, or natural gas.
There are a lot of "Quick-Cool" kits that use this to rejuvenate auto air conditioners. People don't realize they are making their air conditioner into an explosive bomb. These guys were probably set up by some prior worker doing a crap job. When they started working on the system, it detonated.
