What refrigerant to use in 1993 F-150?
The factory installed OEM refrigerant was R12 Freon. As Freon is extremely expensive and no longer in production, I suggest you have this vehicle converted to R134a. Seek help from a professional for the conversion and repair of the leak you must have or you wouldn't be adding refrigerant. You will be money ahead rather than just adding R12 to a leaking system which BTW is illegal.
Is it really illegal to add freon to a leakng home ac?
Currently, the EPA does not mandate repairing or replacing small systems (holding under 50 lbs. of refrigerant) due to refrigerant leaks. Consumers are advised to use a common sense approach when choosing to repair an air conditioning system. The refrigerant charge on a system is key to efficient operation. When there is leaking refrigerant, the capacity and efficiency of the system decline rapidly. Leaking refrigerant wastes energy and could harm the environment.
What is the pressure and temperaure of domestic refrigerator when charging R-134a refigerant?
Generally you charge a refrigeration system by weight, not by pressure or temperature. Say, for example, if you were adding refrigerant to a system, you might add a pound of refrigerant. You wouldn't add it until it was at a certain pressure. As for a consumer AC system in a vehicle, I couldn't tell you how much to add. Look for a reference of the amount of refrigerant in the system and start by adding half that amount maybe?
What is the cost of adding refrigerant to a home central air conditioning system?
Check with a local hvac contractor for an estimate.
What does refrigerant compatibility mean not what it is?
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.
How do you recharge the refrigerant on a 99 GMC suburban?
If you are having to add refrigerant, then this means you have a leak, and you will be adding refrigerant again in a few months. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system with a leak without first repairing the leak. So, my advice is to take it to a professional and have the leak repaired and refrigerant added with the proper equipment, which you do not have.
How often should you have a home air conditioning unit recharged?
Whether the leak is miniscule or not is not the issue. If your system is leaking refrigerant, you must have it repaired. Any technician that puts refrigerant in a leaking system and does not identify the leak is not worth keeping. Answer is, since it is a sealed system, if the unit is losing coolant there is a problem, there is a leak. However, as a practical matter and since the leak may be miniscule, having your system checked every couple of years is not a bad idea.
How do you refill the refrigerant for the ac system on a 1991 Cadillac Seville?

When the system is disassembled, special equipment is necessary to get the system ready for refrigerant charge. It really is something that cannot be explained safely and quickly. Enough dangers exist when working with refrigeration systems that specialized training is recommended to be safe when it comes to repairs.
What are the steps on adding freon to a central ac?
1- Connect gauges and check system performance to determine if refrigerant charge is correct. 2- If charge is low, locate the leak. 3- Isolate leaking section of system if possible otherwise remove entire charge to proper levels and repair leak. Pressurize and check the repair. Evacuate affected portion or the entire system to proper levels. 4- Correct the refrigerant charge with the proper refrigerant and check system performance. 5- Disconnect gauges and replace all covers and flare caps clean up area. 6- Write up service report, have customer sign and give them a copy, get check from customer.
