The make and model doesn't matter - the correct pressures for an R134a system in one vehicle is the same as the other. What the pressures are supposed to read can vary greatly. There's a little something called the 'pressure/temperature' relationship. In short, the ambient air temperature and humidity level are going to impact what the correct system pressure should be. So, depending on what the ambient air temperature and humidity level is, the correct operating pressure can be anywhere from 28 - 60 psig on the low side, and anywhere from 130 - 350 psig on the high side.
The pressure for an R410a air conditioner system should be 118psi LP and 412psi HP. This is the same pressure as an R22 air conditioner.
The pressures depend on the temperatures so it is not possible to give "normal" temperatures. The pressures change with the outdoor and indoor temperatures. You need to be EPA certified to attach gauges to the unit to check the pressures.
First thing take the EPA test to prove you know how to Handel refrigerant in a safe and responsible manner, receive your certification then go to a HVAC&R supply house present your certificate and purchase the correct refrigerant .
Yes, this is the correct refrigerant.
Bleed off some of the refrigerant to get the system pressure down, then wait a while until any liquid refrigerant in the compressor has time to leak into the refrigerant loop. It may take a few minutes; since the compressor valves seal imperfectly, pressures will eventually equalize and it should be possible to start up the compressor again.
Probably not, how long did it run before the mix up was discovered? All of the refrigerant has to come out and be properly disposed of, then a good evacuation and recharge. You did not say which refrigerant was the correct one for the machine, but either way it all has to go.
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.
you can buy the right refrigerant over the counter at checker auto or auto zone, the correct refrigerant is 134a
The correct spelling is "conditioner."
