When discussing the use of freon (or chlorofluorocarbon as it is known) it usually refers to refrigeration and air conditioning. When talking about cars, freon gas is used in the Air conditioning unit. It it sometimes used by racing cars in the radiator in leu of regular coolant (or anti-freeze) but this is not a common practice. On regular cars, coolant is an oil based product placed in the cars radiator and reservoir diluted with water. It's function is to allow the radiator fluid (coolant and water), to be heated and cooled beyond the natural point of water to aid in the cooling of the cars engine.
No.
For ac freon 2.5 lbs for Radiator 2 quarts coolant rest water Wrong. There is no Freon in a 1997 Chevy. It contains R134a refrigerant. Freon was banned in the U.S. and was not used in 1997.
No, Freon is a "Refrigerant". It is compressed and then run through a heat exchanger where it expands and absorbs heat from the air that is being blown into the car. Coolant (Ethylene Glycol) only carries heat from one place (the engine) to another (The radiator).
You add coolant to the radiator system and you add freon to the a/c by using the low side, suction side (larger hose).............
Yes, fridges use freon as a coolant to maintain their temperature.
Radiator coolant.
Coolant goes in the radiator or you can also fill the radiator resevoir.
Low coolant, radiator restriction.Low coolant, radiator restriction.
In systems that do not have a radiator cap, the coolant is drained by the radiator drain plug. It is filled by adding coolant to the system through the overflow bottle.
to the coolant recovery tank if so equipped - if no coolant recovery tank then not connected to anything - just an overflow
If the radiator is cracked then the vehicle has ran dry on coolant. This would cause the radiator to crack if there wasn't any coolant.
You add coolant to a C240 at the radiator overflow tank. This allows the radiator to suck in coolant as needed when hot.
