Yes it does.
It can get noisy and leak oil. You can verify it by hooking up a set of A/C gauges, the high pressure side will see very low pressure.
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
When checking a/c system operations. There are two gauges that measure high side and low side pressures.
High side and low side refer to the pressure in the ac system. Ie The high side is the high pressure line and low side is the low pressure line.
sounds stupid but maker sure you have your leads on the battery right hooking up the ground to the positive side does all kinds of weird things like this
On a manifold gauge set, there are two gauges. The gauge encased in red measures pressure on the high pressure (discharge) side. That's the "high side gauge". The other will be incased in blue, and measures vacuum pressure on the low side.
big line
Yes...... Using a set of a/c gauges you will connect the red hose to the high side and the blue hose to the low side.. High side will be the smaller hose and the low side will be the larger hose...... High side is discharge and low side is suction side.........
Backseat the liquid line service valve all the way, then turn the compressor on and check the pressure on gauges until the low side gets to vacuum mode. Once the low and high side are at or below 0 PSI, backseat the suction line service valve and turn compressor off.
The low side will be on the accumulator and the high side will be on the discharge line.....
Using a set of a/c gauges put the blue hose on the low side (suction side) and the red hose on the high side (discharge side) then connect the yellow hose from the gauges to the service port on the can of freon.....During the recharging process remembering to keep the low side readings between 30 to 40psi and the high side between 200 to 250psi depending on the outside temperature……………
One of the gauges is out side it's normal range. ie: overheat, low oil pressure, battery volts low or high......
