It means charging the A/C system with the proper kind and amount of refrigerant + oil. Overcharging the system will damage the compressor.
The charging liquid is typically added to the low-pressure side of a compressor. This allows the liquid to enter the compressor, where it is compressed and then discharged as a high-pressure gas.
Liquid
When charging liquids, they should be added to the side of the compressor to ensure proper mixing and prevent slugging. This method allows the liquid refrigerant to vaporize adequately and ensures that it enters the compressor in a gaseous state, reducing the risk of damage. Additionally, adding liquids to the side helps maintain the compressor's efficiency and performance during the charging process. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for specific charging procedures.
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.

Caused from over charging system. Should have a good sweat up to the compressor on the suction line.
The low pressure side.
When charging a liquid refrigerant into a compressor, it should be added to the low-pressure side, typically through the suction port. This allows the liquid refrigerant to evaporate and absorb heat before it reaches the compressor, preventing damage. Adding liquid refrigerant to the high-pressure side can lead to compressor failure due to liquid slugging. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and safety protocols when charging refrigerants.
You can find the air conditioning low pressure charging port on top of the air conditioning compressor. The low pressure port will be on the right hand side of the air conditioning compressor.
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.
absolutely none. there is almost no more sure way to wreck a compressor than allowing liquid into the compressor.
