Your condensor outside , where the compressor is . should have an information
plate showing the type of refrigerant used
Refrigerant compaticilty is about suiting the refrigerant to your refrigerant system. Every cooling system has refrigerant in it which depends on the type of system you use. If the refrigerant not matches with your system, it wont work. This is refrigerant compatibility.
The only way to know if Freon (refrigerant) is needed in an air conditioner is to use tools and gauges to measure the performance of the system. The amount of refrigerant needed is based on the design of the entire system including the size of the unit, length and size of the refrigerant lines, temperatures, and type of refrigerant. Refrigerant is not consumed. If refrigerant is needed then the system was either not charged correctly when installed or there is a leak. There could be many reasons a system is not cooling. The correct answer to the question is: A skilled service technician will determined that the system was low on refrigerant by using pressure gauges, thermometers and other tools. There not function a home owner can perform to see if refrigerant is needed.
Lighter, as the refrigerant is boiled off, and colder, as it has absorbed heat, and has a lesser pressure to reflect the current temperature / pressure relationship for the type of refrigerant
R134a
Most likely the refrigerant you need is 134a, there should be a sticker somewhere in the engine compartment telling you the type and how much your system requires.
it depends on many factors, like indoor and outdoor temps, and type of system and refrigerant being used.
Why do you want to refill it is there a leak? It depends on the type of refrigerant and how much refrigerant will be needed. Check with 3 or 4 heating and cooling service establishments and get an average of what there charging in your area.
