In order to remove all the unwanted moisture and gases from the refrigerant system, a state of near-vacuum has to be achieved in which the pressure in the system is forced to go below the atmospheric pressure. The absolute value of the atmospheric pressure at sea level is given by 29.92 in. Hg or 14.696 psia In the typical system, the vacuum pump is required to create a vacuum. state of about 300 to 500 microns. An electronic vacuum gauge is needed to measure the level of vacuum in the system. Check the specifications of the vacuum pump and make sure that it is able to achieve the vacuum state as required by the manufacturers of the equipment.
You get something as a vacuum cleaner or conditioner for air.
Perhaps you better not. In some states it is illegal to work on auto A/C if you are not certified. High pressure gas can freeze body parts.
You have a leak in the vacuum supply to the ac control.
You cant
You have a vacuum leak in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) system. Inspect the vacuum hoses that operate the HVAC system looking for cracked, pinched or damaged hoses. Also inspect the vacuum reservoir for leaks or damage.
Try calling your local junk yard and locate a good used control unit.
Air vents in most cars are vacuum controlled. Check for vacuum leaks in any part of the engine system. Also check the ac/heat control system, as they can develop a vacuum leak with time.
With torches and soldering sticks.
Because it probably has a leak if you have just fixed a leak then you need to put a vacuum on your AC system before you can charge it.
Look for a vacuum blockage or a vacuum leak.
Pulling a vacuum on an ac system requires a vacuum pump or venturi pump with the correct type connector. The pump is connected to the low side ac port, and the vacuum could take an hour to pull depending on the pump size.
spark plug gap Can also be a vacuum leak.
The idle compensator speeds up the engine when the ac is turned on to compensate for the additional load on the engine. If the engine is surging when the ac is on and not any other time then the compensator is probably bad. If it surges all the time but gets worse when the ac is on then look for an intake vacuum leak.
You will either have a vacuum leak, a bad controller head or a bad door actuator.......
