Charles,

Just imagine how uncomfortable it would be to work in a facility that vented all of its (now higer temperature) reflow ovens into the general plant air!  

Imagine the increased air conditioning load!!   .... well, that assumes that the plant is air conditioned ....

Sounds like a big energy saver to me (not)!

Yummie, and to breath all that flux!  Would not make my day!


Is this from a heating and air conditioning supplier??? ... or just a moron?

Question:  Is the following statement about lead-free solder not requiring venting, etc.
  true?

"Tin-silver-copper alloys have been developed as substitutes.  The costs of these
replacement solders are only marginally higher than the lead solders but there could be
savings at the manufacturing end because the new solders will not require the venting
and management for worker and environmental protection which was formerly necessary with
lead solder during production"

Thanks
