not necessarily, but you will slugg the refrigerant back into compressor causing it to ware before its time


Does it ruin an air conditioner when used as a heater?

If you mean using a window AC and installing it backwards so it rejects heat indoors, no and yes, no it does not initially, however as an AC unit has no defrost cycle, eventually the outdoor coil will frost and require defrosting, if this is not done, conceivably liquid refrigerant could enter the compressor and damage it.

Can a car using R12 refrigerant use R134?

You would have to replace the orifice tube, accumulator or receiver-drier (which one you have depends on what type of AC system you have), as well as remove all of the R12 refrigerant, and you'd have to replace the compressor oil with PAG.


Why is using freon forbidden by international treaty?

The damage to the Ozonosphere on earth by the traditional Freon type Refrigerant is becoming more and more severe gradually. In order to protect the Ozonosphere. The signed (Montreal Agreement) by countries has regulated that the Freon Type Refrigerant is the forbidden refrigerant substance.The newly born MTL-1 refrigerant is a refrigerant that complies with the international treaty. This produce is nontoxic, no pollution, no rusty, and is good in oil solubility and refrigeration. It can replace CFC12 and R134a directly without any changes on sealing system, compressor and refrigerant system etc. It will not only avoid the pollution to the air to protect the Ozonosphere but also has an affection of saving energy around 15%.


What is auto cascade system?

A cooling/freezing system using one compressor and 2 or more different gasses and heat exchangers to reach a lower temperature, the first refrigerant cools the next and so on.


Can using a 45 5 uf 370v capacitor in place of 45 5 440v capacitor damage compressor?

yes you can but, the compressor may not run as well and the capacitor may smoke and break if the compressor runs for an extended period of time so, make sure you check it the first couple of time you use the compressor.


Why do you charge an air conditioner or heat pump with refrigerant using the low side of the system?

the main reason is because the low side of the circuit is in a suction pulling from service port toward compressor when calling for cooling


Can you have too much freon in your car?

How do you replace a 1995 Ford F-350 air conditioner compressor?

Diesel Engine...Discharge the refrigerant system using a certified recycling/recovery station.Disconnect the 2 refrigerant lines from the compressor. Cap the openings immediately!Loosen the pivot and adjusting bolts. Remove the belt.Disconnect the clutch wire at the connector.Remove the 5 bolts attaching the compressor to the mounting bracket.Remove the compressor.Installation is the reverse of removal. Use new O-rings coated with clean refrigerant oil at all fittings. If a new, replacement compressor is being installed, remove the shipping plates and add 120ml (4 fl. oz.) of clean refrigerant oil through the service ports. Assemble all parts loosely and adjust the belt tension. Tighten all mounting bolts to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm). Tighten the compressor manifold bolts to 13-17 ft. lbs. (18-23 Nm). Evacuate, charge and leak test the system......
