It was a bad answered that talked about changing the antifreeze -- not the airconditioning freon.
How do you add freon to a 96 Ford Contour
No, Freon is a "Refrigerant". It is compressed and then run through a heat exchanger where it expands and absorbs heat from the air that is being blown into the car. Coolant (Ethylene Glycol) only carries heat from one place (the engine) to another (The radiator).
Air conditioners manufactured between 1970 and 2010 use Freon as a coolant. Freon is scheduled to be phased out of usage by 2020. Newer air conditioner models use a different type of coolant.
BY electricity and a coolant such as freon.
Periodically check your freon levels. For most of us, that is once a year unless the air conditioner is not consistently blowing cool air. Freon is no longer available to uncertified people, and newer cars use another type of coolant.
You shouldn't have to change freon, it doesnt go bad.
Air is not efficient enough as a coolant
For ac freon 2.5 lbs for Radiator 2 quarts coolant rest water Wrong. There is no Freon in a 1997 Chevy. It contains R134a refrigerant. Freon was banned in the U.S. and was not used in 1997.
R134a is all that is available If you have an R12 system You have to retrofit to R134a I didn't go through the hassle of changing the entire system to r134a I just recharged the system with the new freon and it's working just fine. The coolant even last longer.
Most refrigerators use a coolant called freon.
you use freon to cool your car and make the air conditioner work
