You charge your vehicle ac system through the low side port on your ac system.If you need more information about adding refrigerant to your vehicle, or retrofitting a car from R12 TO R134A you can go to www.idqusa.com.
When changing liquid refrigerant into a system
The short answer is yes. However, the A/C system must be retrofitted (changed from R-12 to R-134a). Many people believe that you can simply add R-134a in place of R-12 without retrofitting. However, this is not recommended because you can do damage to the A/C system. Remember that you are mixing two different refrigerants and refrigerant oils.
If there are contaminants in the oil, the system will need to be flushed.
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.
Refrigerant compaticilty is about suiting the refrigerant to your refrigerant system. Every cooling system has refrigerant in it which depends on the type of system you use. If the refrigerant not matches with your system, it wont work. This is refrigerant compatibility.
Your vehicle uses 34oz of R134a refrigerant. There is a great web site with a lot of helpful information about your vehicle ac system. Check the link below.
It compressed the refrigerant. It may also have an air compressor if the vehicle has an air ride system.
Depends on the vehicle. Different vehicles have different amounts.
Have a CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL - who will know what they're doing - recover and replace the blended refrigerant. AC system work - whether at the home or on a motor vehicle - is NOT a "do it yourself" task, and it seems now that you have a better understanding of why that is.
