Empirical evidences suggests that a significant amount of air or nitrogen can be trapped in AHC fluid under high pressure. As suprarx7nut observed in his post, I also observed white foam on the surface of my LX's AHC reservoir immediately after my first few cycles of raising and lowing my...
Normal air is 80% nitrogen also. However, the pressure in a working AHC system is extreme. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is only about 14.5psi. At working pressure, AHC system ranging from 5-10MPa(725 - 1450psi). Even if a little air is absorbed in AHC fluid at atmospheric pressure, the...
