Why does a central air conditioner have ice build up on the pipes?
If you are talking about the larger of the 2 copper lines, the problem could be that the unit is low on refrigerant. Check to ensure that the large line is insulated and not exposed.
Where is the low side of the air conditioner of a 2002 Dodge Intrepid to replace refrigerant?
Follow the tubes from your ac compressor, the low pressure connector for the r134a freon is larger than the hi pressure connector and should be near the accumulator.
Where do you install 134 refrigerant in a 2000 Chevy K2500?
Look under the hood there are two lines leading to the air conditioner compressor the larger of the two is always the low pressure line this is where you should install 134 freon.
Where do you put refrigerant in 1996 Buick Regal Gran Sport?
Low pressure port which is the larger hose.
Where do you put refrigerant in a 1998 buick regal?
Low pressure side of compressor Larger hose from compressor
Where would you put the refrigerant on a boneville 94?
low pressure side of a/c compressor (larger hose)
Where does refrigerant go on an 1998 Oldsmobile intrigue?
Low pressure port - Larger hose from air compressor
Where is the access for recharging the Air Conditioner on a 1993 Explorer?
Low pressure line larger line from the compressor
In the high pressure side of the large copper tube there is a blue filter that has two valves like bicycle intertubes have on them What are they and can the filter be removed for cleaning?
This blue filter sounds like a filter/dryer and cannot be removed for cleaning by the homeowner. The larger copper tube is the low pressure side of the system, unless it is a heat pump. >>>>> As noted above the larger tube is the suction line. The filter is a refrigerant filter/dryer. If this is a heat pump the flow is bi directional (either way). The 2 access ports are for checking the pressure drop through it. The pressure drop will indicate if/when it is clogged and needs to be replaced. It is not servicable.
Where do you add freon at in a 2000 Lincoln LS?
It contains no Freon. It contains R134a refrigerant and you add it to the low pressure port which is the larger pipe.
Where are the ports front and rear on a 1997 gm suburban so you can refill the freon what freon is used?
Virtually all vehicles since 1994 use refrigerant r-134a. On a 97 Suburban, the suction (low pressure) and discharge (high pressure) ports are located on top of the compressor. Refrigerant is added to the low pressure side. It is attached to the larger refrigerant piping and hose which runs to the accumulator-drier at the firewall. The smaller high pressure pipe attaches to the condenser located in front of the radiator. Do NOT attach a refrigerant can to the high pressure line.
How do you connect the coil to the evaporator coil in a split system air conditioner?
In a split system air conditioner the evaporator coil, which is right next to the furnace blower is connected to the outside "condenser coil" by two copper lines called a "line-set. The larger of the two carries the refrigerant in its vapor state and the smaller of the two carries freon in a condensed or liquefied state. The brazing of copper line sets is done by means of an extreme high temp oxy/acetylene welding torch and is a much more involved and complicated process than water pipe (copper) brazing. As much as I hate to say it, "don't try this at home!
