The refrigerant itself acts as the medium that carries the gas to the sensor in a halide leak detector. When the refrigerant comes into contact with the halide gas, it picks up traces of the gas and carries them to the sensor for detection.

How do you recover refrigerant in a refrigeration system?

Use a vacuum pump that pulls it into a tank.


In a 2002 jeep grand Cherokee limited what would cause the ac to cut on and off for a couple days and then cut off for good?

The compressor will "cycle" on and off if the refrigerant level is getting low. There is a sensor that detects the pressure of the refrigerant on the "low" side. If there is enough pressure, the compressor can turn on. When the compressor pulls some of the refrigerant and compresses it to the "high" side, there will be less refrigerant for the low side, which causes the sensor to turn the compressor off again, then the refrigerant migrates back to the low side and the compressor can cycle back on. Once the refrigerant level gets so low that the sensor won't allow it to turn on, you're done. You need to find the leak, repair it and recharge the system. Most AC systems that leak that fast have a worn seal and/or main shaft bearing in the compressor. You can't really repair a compressor so if that's your problem, just plan on getting a new one. Look at the compressor, around the pulley. If you see oil, that's your leak.


Where is speed sensor located on a 94 bronco?

The speed sensor is located in the rear end on the driver's side, right next to the drive line. There is a wire connector that needs removed, and then one bolt and the sensor pulls right out.


THE air conditioning compressor on my 90 corvette shuts off after running a few seconds any ideas whats wrong?

The refrigerant level is probably low. When the compressor turns on it pulls refrigerant from the low side and as soon as the low side pressure drops below a certain point, the sensor disengages the AC clutch. If you haven't already converted your AC to 134A, now would be a good time. All vehicle AC compressors leak a little refrigerant, simply because of the design of the system. The system may not have any serious problems even though it has lost a little pressure.


How does a compression refrigerator work?

works by pumping refrigerant, a liquid chemical, through tubes in the cooling cabinet. The refrigerant evaporates there and pulls heat from the air. The gas is pumped out of the cabinet and into the compressor and condenser where the heat is expelled


How big of a pain is it to change the cam position sensor on a 98 Chevy 350?

I don't think it has one only crank sensor. It is right under the balancer it takes a number ten socket and then pulls out


Would low refrigerant pressure cause the air conditioning compressor on your 1993 Chevrolet G20 van to cycle on and off?

Absolutely, in fact, if the AC compressor is cycling like that, low pressure is about the ONLY thing that can cause it. There is a pressure sensor in the low pressure side of the AC system. When the pressure drops too far it turns off the compressor to prevent damage. As the compressor runs it pulls refrigerant from the low side, compresses it and sends it to the condenser where it is cooled. When that happens there is less refrigerant available to the low side. There is no point in running a compressor if there is nothing left on the low side to compress, so it shuts down. After enough refrigerant works past the orifice and into the low side again, the low side pressure builds up and the compressor restarts.


Where is the fuel temperature sensor on a vauxhall vectra 1.9 cdti sri?

It is Located on the bottom of the fuel filter housing, it has a connector on it that pulls off.


Does the BMW 135i need premium gas?

Yes, it prevents knock and detonation. The knock sensor is just a sensor it only pulls timing after knock aka damage occurs. One tank will be fine but don't make it a habit.

Where is the crank sensor in a 96 Plymouth breeze?

THE CRANK SENSOR IS LOCATED BEHIND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ON THE RADIATOR SIDE OF THE ENGINE.THE MANIFOLDS MUST COME OFF TO INSTALL SENSOR Dead wrong, its right above the oil filter on a 2.0 and you dont have to remove anything except a 10mm nut, it pulls straight out, use the wire harness to get a better grip.
