air in system?

mak11 on Fri September 05, 2008 12:56 PM User is offline

If an ac system has not been properly vacuumed. how will it affect the high and low pressure readings?
Thanks

Air is a non condensable gas, excessive high pressures, no heat removal, no cooling.

I've done those studies on a V-5 system (variable sroke pump) with small amounts of air it will artificially raise the suction pressure enough to cause evap freeze-up because pump does not destroke at correct pressure- with no vacuum pulled it will cause high pressure cut-outs and no cooling.

The number one A/C diagnostic tool there is- is to know how much refrigerant is in the system- this can only be done by recovering and weighing the refrigerant!!
Just a thought.... 65% of A/C failures in my 3200 car diagnostic database (GM vehicles) are due to loss of refrigerant due to a leak......
