Where do you install freon high or low pressure?

Freon is typically added to the low-pressure side of an air conditioning system. This is because the low-pressure side is where the refrigerant is in a gaseous state, allowing it to absorb heat effectively. Adding refrigerant to the high-pressure side can lead to overcharging and potential damage to the system. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific instructions on your system.


What would stop freon from flowing into the low pressure port during a needed recharge-the clutch is engaged on the compressor and the max air is on-gauge shows low pressure but freon won't flow?

Possible reasons for freon not flowing into the low-pressure port during a recharge could be a blockage or restriction in the system, a malfunctioning metering device like the expansion valve, or an issue with the compressor not creating sufficient suction. It's important to diagnose the problem accurately to ensure a successful recharge.


What cause wind to be deflected to the right or the left as they from high pressure to low pressure?

Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.


Why does freon come out of a jug liquid if you turn it upside down?

Freon under pressure, much like LP and butane are liquid. At sea level pressure, freon becomes a gas. For freon to work in a refrigeration system, it must be able to transform from liquid to gas to liquid. So, to fill a system, it must be put into that system in liquid form. To do this, the bottle containing freon must be tipped, otherwise only freon the gas would be expelled.

What side do you put freon in on out unit high or low side?

Freon goes into the low pressure side of the air conditioning system. The attachment from the gauge used to put the freon in will only attach to the low pressure valve so it would be pretty hard to do it incorrectly.


How do you get the compressor to run on a 2001 Pathfinder with low freon?

You do not want it to run on low freon as it will burn itself up. There is a low pressue switch that tells it not to run if the freon pressure is below a certain point. To make it run; add freon.

Why would the air conditioning compressor on a 1999 Chevy Cavalier not come on?

Low on freon, faulty pressure switch, faulty clutch. Jumper the low pressure switch with a paperclip (can running, AC on), if the clutch cycles, it's either low on freon, or the low pressure switch is bad.
