Our -85oC REVCO freezer made a pop and this nasty smell filled the lab. I was lie, it's just aerosolized oil. The service guy ran up here and I asked him what refrigerant. he said probably is propane. I was wondering, what refridgerant besodes propane could it be, was that nasty smell oil. and I wanted to know, if a girl in our lab noticed right after the pop, that the freezer was at -45 and not -82+, why would it pop? I figured it was the safety valve popping open, but why would the high side pressure be that high if the fridge was at -45oC and trying to chill it to nominal temp?
