The only legal and safe way to do it is to have a shop recover the refrigerant with an RRR (Recover, Recycle, Recharge) machine. Try your local community college if they offer a vocational program for mechanics... they might even pay you for the refrigerant they recover.
A refrigerant (freon) is required for an A/C system to cool. Therefore, no, the A/C should not work is the freon is removed.
My complete question is "Do I have to discharge AC syatem or can I simply move out of way?" Shop manual says discharge syatem and remove compressor but somnetimest they Lie!!!
There is no AC "thermostat" If it is not cooling enough or properly there is something wrong with the system The thermostat for the GM automatic computer controlled Heat and AC system is behind a tiny little grill in the dash.
To replace an AC discharge line, first, turn off the power to the AC unit and ensure the system is depressurized. Remove the old discharge line by loosening the fittings and disconnecting it from the compressor and the condenser. Install the new discharge line, ensuring all connections are secure and properly sealed to prevent leaks. Finally, restore power to the unit and check for proper operation and any refrigerant leaks.
If a person is going to make changes to a car, a diagram can help them do it properly. An Ac system diagram on a 1996 Chevy Tahoe can be found in its maintenance manual.
take it to a shop that recharges ac and get them to charge it and check for any leaks in the system. probably be about 80$
Have an AC shop evacuate the system. Some shops will recharge the system after repairs and not charge for refrigerant, they just give you yours back.
AC discharge and suction lines are components of an air conditioning system. The discharge line carries high-pressure refrigerant gas from the compressor to the condenser, where it releases heat and condenses into a liquid. In contrast, the suction line transports low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator back to the compressor, where it is compressed and cycled again. Proper insulation and maintenance of these lines are crucial for efficient system performance.
For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.
Labor. Cost to replace ac com pressor in a 96. Cadillac debille
Remove the freon from the system with a reclaiming machine. With the system empty, disconnect the lines from the condenser and bolt in the new one. use new o rings as well. Pull an entire system vacuum, then refill the AC unit with freon.
Yes the 96 GL comes standard with AC.
