This will cause the head pressure to climb very high and if something doesn't explode or cut out on a high pressure safety, you and the equipment will be damaged. Hopefully compressor will be one with internal or external overload. To summarize DONT DO IT WHILE COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING.

Do you have to have car running when applying freon to ford focus?

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?


How do you keep a home air conditioner compressor cool while running?

You don't.Suction temperature does.Suction line should be cold and sweating.That's what keeps compressor motor cool.Discharge will always be hot.


What is suction and discharge head?

These are terms used by refrigeration and air conditioning techs. The suction is refrigerant returning to the compressor from the evaporator, or the low side. The high side is the discharge or head pressure, where high temperature high pressure gas leaves the compressor to flow into the condenser. These systems should only be worked on by licensed and experienced techs.
