Refrigerant System ChargeWARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION.After all refrigerant system leaks have been repaired and the refrigerant system has been evacuated, a refrigerant charge can be injected into the system. For the proper amount of the refrigerant charge, refer to the Underhood HVAC Specification Tag. An R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 must be used to charge the refrigerant system with R-134a refrigerant. See the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.REFRIGERANT CHARGE CAPACITYNOTE: Always refer to the underhood HVAC Specification Tag for the latest fill specification for the vehicle being serviced.CHARGING PROCEDUREEvacuate the refrigerant system .A manifold gauge set and a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 should still be connected to the refrigerant system.Measure the proper amount of refrigerant (1.88 lb) and heat it to 52°C (125°F) with the charging station. See the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper use of this equipment.Open both the suction and discharge valves, then open the charge valve to allow the heated refrigerant to flow into the system.When the transfer of refrigerant has stopped, close both the suction and discharge valves.If all of the refrigerant charge did not transfer from the dispensing device, open all of the windows in the vehicle and set the heater-air conditioner controls so that the compressor is engaged and the blower motor is operating at its lowest speed setting. Run the engine at a steady high idle (about 1400 rpm ). If the compressor will not engage, test the compressor clutch control circuit and repair as required.Open the suction valve to allow the remaining refrigerant to transfer to the refrigerant system.WARNING: TAKE CARE NOT TO OPEN THE DISCHARGE (HIGH PRESSURE) VALVE AT THIS TIME.Close the suction valve and test the system performance.Disconnect the charging station and manifold gauge set from the refrigerant system service ports.Reinstall the caps onto the refrigerant system service ports.Run the HVAC Control Cooldown test to verify proper operation.
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.
To charge a walk-in cooler with R404a refrigerant, you will need to connect a refrigerant cylinder to the system using a manifold gauge set. Open the cylinder valve and slowly add the necessary amount of refrigerant into the system according to the manufacturer's specifications. Be sure to monitor the system pressures and temperatures as you charge it to ensure that it is properly charged.
about 10% to 15% of system charge
The amount of refrigerant a unit contains depends on the size of the unit. That is the standard charge but the charge after the system is installed may be more or less. The system charge depends on the size of the refrigerant lines, the length of the lines, and the size of the unit.
about 10% to 15% of system charge
about 10% to 15% of system charge
if system is empty, u need to charge with correct amount of oil and refrigerant. the oil actually carries the refrigerant in the system if just recharging, buy the refrigerant that has oil already added, these are available at most auto stores
When the refrigerant saturation temperature increases to 36 degrees F.
Excessive superheat, caused by a low refrigerant charge.
To charge refrigerant gas in a split AC unit, first ensure the system is off and locate the service valves on the outdoor unit. Connect a refrigerant gauge manifold to the low-pressure side, then attach the refrigerant canister to the high-pressure side. Open the service valves and allow refrigerant to flow into the system, monitoring the gauges to maintain the proper pressure levels. Once the desired charge is achieved, close the valves, disconnect the gauges, and run the system to check for proper operation.
