You really need the vacuum machine that is used to suck out all the old stuff and moisture etc. to do it right.
Reclaim refrigerant. Be sure system is empty. Unhook refrigerant lines from condensor, and evap core. Best to use a "flush gun" and compressed air. Brake clean is a good solvent to use, as it evaporates quickly, and leaves no residue. Flush, and back flush. Use a clean container to capture the solvent as it comes out. Inspect to see if metal flakes are present. Usually one or two flushes in each direction will get all of the grayish, metal flakes out. Usually their is very little, if any in the evap core. On some Fords where compressor failure is catastrohic, and large amounts of metal are deposited in condensor--then maybe necessary to replace condensor. Especially on Rangers, and Explorers.
After flush complete. Then be sure and blow compressed air through the evap, and condensor core to remove residual solvent. Be sure and install the correct type, and amount of refrigerent oil in compressor and accumulator. Some techs will put a little oil in the evap & condensor too. My experience has shown that is not necessary. After system is evacutated and charged, check hi-side pressure with manifold gauge assbly to make sure their are no "pressure spikes", this could indicated a faulty condensor core.
The air conditioning compressor contactor controls the flow of electricity to the compressor unit, allowing it to turn on and off as needed to regulate the temperature in the air conditioning system.
The AC compressor capacitor in an air conditioning system helps to start the compressor motor and keep it running smoothly by providing an extra electrical boost when needed.
If there is metal chips and trash from the old compressor in the system, yes you need to flush the system. Any trash left in the system will shorten the life of the new pump.
It can damage the compressor.
The compressor.
The AC compressor contactor in an air conditioning system is responsible for controlling the flow of electricity to the compressor. It acts as a switch that allows the compressor to turn on and off based on the thermostat's signals, helping to regulate the temperature in the space being cooled.
The compressor fan motor in an air conditioning system is responsible for circulating air over the condenser coils to help dissipate heat and cool down the refrigerant gas. This process is essential for the overall cooling function of the air conditioning system.
You should not put any oil in a Ford air conditioning compressor. The air conditioning compressor runs on Freon. The system should take about one pound of Freon.
that depends on what is wrong have you checked the compressor?
If the compressor will not come on at all, it is not because the system needs charging. Check for a blown fuse, disconnected wire at the compressor, or a defective compressor clutch.
You will need to remove all of the Freon from your air conditioning system. Remove the air conditioning hoses. Remove the compressor belt. Remove the compressor retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new air conditioner compressor.
Only one moving part in the AC system and that is the compressor. The compressor must be going bad. Recommend having it replaced before it fills the system with metal trash which will cost you much more to clean and repair.
