You should charge the refrigerant on the low-pressure side of the compressor, typically through the suction line or the service port designated for low pressure. This is because charging on the low side helps ensure that the refrigerant is in a vapor state, allowing it to mix properly with the oil and preventing damage to the compressor. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and safety procedures while charging.

Where is the low side charge fitting on a 2003 Chevy Tahoe?
The low pressure side of the ac system is the ac hose that runs from the inside of the vehicle to the ac compressor. The high pressure side runs from the ac compressor to the condensor in front of the radiator. Follow the ac hose from the compressor back to the body and you will find the charge fitting. It is smaller in diameter than the high pressure side. You would need a different adapter to hook up to the high side.
What is the proper way to charge a 15 ton compressor?
read the manufacturers logo on the side of the unit and weigh the charge
What side of the compressor would one normally charge?
Refrigerant is typically charged into the low-pressure side of the compressor to ensure the system operates correctly and efficiently. Charging refrigerant into the high-pressure side can lead to issues such as system damage, inefficient operation, or inadequate cooling.
Which side of the compressor would normally charge?
The side of the compressor that is normally charged is the low-pressure side. This is where the refrigerant enters the compressor after absorbing heat from the environment. Charging typically involves adding refrigerant to the system through the low-pressure service port, allowing the compressor to efficiently circulate the refrigerant throughout the system. Proper charging ensures optimal performance and efficiency of the HVAC system.
How would the compressor housing feel when a unit has an overcharge of refrigerant?
A refrigerant compressor will be hot when running whether or not the charge is too high or too low. If the charge is too low, the compressor will cycle on and off. If too high the compressor may not run at all.
When charging liquid should be added to low side or high side?
High side, If you charge liquid on the low side it can cause the valves of the compressor to break.
Where do you charge the ac on the low side on a 2003 Lincoln LS V8?
port is next to the compressor under the car...
Which port do you charge freon from the hi side or low side?
You would charge it from the low side port.
Turn on compressor on 1996 Eldorado says low of freon went to low side to charge but wouldn't take freon compressor clutch would not come on is there a way to jump start it or what do you do?
Should be a pressure switch located on the top of the air drier/acculmulator -- jump this with a paper clip and clutch should pull in allowing you to charge system
Where is the low pressure charge fitting on a 1997 Dodge Ram 318 CID?
Follow the larger hose from compressor this is low side
Where is the low side of ac air compressor 1997 Saturn?
low side of a/c is the larger diameter line it the smaller fitting(charge side) vs. high side is your smaller line larger fitting
Where is the lower port on a 97 firebird to charge the air?
Follow the larger line from compressor maybe near the drier on the passenger side firewall
