If i am not mistaken it is somewhere between 2-4 lbs of freon but it is actually r-134a u want to use as there are no ozone depletants in it
Disconnect the battery, then connect the freon so that as much as possible will go in, then re-connect the battery and start the car with the ac on high until you get the proper amount of freon.
your coil is most likely plugged and not circulating the freon
Purchase a Freon recharge kit. Connects the Freon hoses to the ports on the air conditioner compressor. Release the Freon into the compressor.
This is normal it does it to cycle the freon
compressor
The compressor wont turn if the freon levels are too low! It has a cutoff so if the freon all escapes the system the compressor wont be damaged.
97 Cherokee ACFreon is a little low. Another ViewpointThe freon is more than just a little low. It so low that if you continue to operate the compressor without a proper recharge, it will probably ruin the compressor as its lubricating oil is circulated throughout the system with the freon, and if the freon is that low, it does not circulate, and the compressor will eventually freeze up. Get an AC professional to trouble shoot the system to correct the leaks, verify the correct amount of oil and freon recharge.j3h.
You will need to connect your Freon bottle to the low pressure port on your 2002 Chevy Cavalier air conditioning compressor. Release the Freon into the compressor. A Freon recharge kit will come with everything you need and instructions.
Yes, in order for the compressor to take on the new coolant and oil charge the compressor ideally should be running. It is posiible to begin charging the system with freon prior to compressor initiation, however to get an accurate reading of the pressure in the system the compressor should be cycling with differential valve operating properly. If it is clogged or the compressor is not cycling then then low side reading will give an elevated pressure while charging the system. Does that make sense?
Does it have the correct amount of refrigerant, are the compressor valves good, is the indoor coil plugged.
If you are talking about removing the freon in the a/c system then you will need a freon reclaimer.............
An AC compressor compresses the freon and circulates the freon through the system. An air ride compressor pumps compressed air into air bags to level the vehicle and/or alter the handling of the vehicle.
