Your condensor outside , where the compressor is . should have an information
plate showing the type of refrigerant used
For your home AC system, you should use a refrigerant that is environmentally friendly and energy efficient, such as R-410A. It is important to consult with a professional HVAC technician to determine the best refrigerant for your specific system.
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.
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.
To recharge a portable air conditioner, you first need to identify the refrigerant type used in the unit. Locate the service port, usually marked, and connect a refrigerant charging kit. Open the refrigerant canister and the valve on the charging hose, allowing the refrigerant to flow into the system. Monitor the pressure gauges to ensure you don’t overcharge, then close the valves and disconnect the hose.
Lighter, as the refrigerant is boiled off, and colder, as it has absorbed heat, and has a lesser pressure to reflect the current temperature / pressure relationship for the type of refrigerant
R134a
Most likely the refrigerant you need is 134a, there should be a sticker somewhere in the engine compartment telling you the type and how much your system requires.
it depends on many factors, like indoor and outdoor temps, and type of system and refrigerant being used.
To charge a semi-hermetic compressor with refrigerant, you will need to connect a refrigerant cylinder to the system using proper hoses and gauges. Then, you will slowly introduce the refrigerant into the system while monitoring the system pressure and temperature. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for the specific type of refrigerant and the correct amount to be added.
Why do you want to refill it is there a leak? It depends on the type of refrigerant and how much refrigerant will be needed. Check with 3 or 4 heating and cooling service establishments and get an average of what there charging in your area.
