A low supply of refrigerant in a system can lead to insufficient cooling, resulting in the condition known as "refrigerant starvation." This occurs because there isn't enough refrigerant to absorb heat effectively, causing the system to struggle to maintain desired temperatures. Additionally, it can lead to increased pressure in the system, potential compressor damage, and inefficiencies in operation. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent refrigerant leaks and ensure optimal performance.

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.
Excessive superheat, caused by a low refrigerant charge.
Usually, on most cars, this means that the weather is cool or that there is insufficient refrigerant in the system. It can also be caused by a restriction in the AC system or high temperature or excessive amount of refrigerant in the system.
The 2001 BMW X5 uses R-134a refrigerant for its air conditioning system. When servicing or recharging the system, it's important to follow proper procedures and use the correct type of refrigerant to ensure optimal performance and avoid damage. Always check for leaks and ensure the system is in good condition before adding refrigerant.
Uncontrolled water supply
To endure that the ONLY gas in the system is refrigerant.
Liquid refrigerant charging of a system is normally accomplished in the liquid line. For example, when a system is out of refrigerant, liquid refrigerant can be charged into the king valve on the liquid line or receiver.
The accumulator is a component in a compressor system that acts as a storage tank for liquid refrigerant. It helps ensure the flow of liquid refrigerant to the compressor, preventing any potential damage that could be caused by excessive amounts of refrigerant reaching the compressor. The accumulator also helps in separating any liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant vapor.
Have an AC shop evacuate the system. Some shops will recharge the system after repairs and not charge for refrigerant, they just give you yours back.
Liquid receivers are used to store the liquid refrigerant after it leaves the condenser. It should be located below the condenser to enable natural flow. The receiver may be constructed either vertically or horizontally and should have sufficient capacity to hold the entire system's refrigerant charge. The design should be such that only liquid refrigerant leaves the receiver and enters the liquid line. by vishal mahnn
