I have an '89 crx si and i still have a good working compressor and it holds vacuum too, the previous owner (im the second owner) retrofitted it from r-12 to r-134a.....i tested it out at my school with the refrigerant identifier and search on ALL DATA and SHOP KEY but i counldnt find anything that is really of use to me on there. I was wondering if anybody know how many pounds of refrigerant my compressor holds?....i tryed to find out what type of compressor my car had but i couldnt read what it was. can anybody help me on this please? thnx

 

...I also evacuated the system but it hardly pulled any refrigerant out but i didnt recharge it.

Here's how it works.

Recovery is when you remove the refrigerant from the system.

Evacuation is when you remove the non condensables after refrigerant is removed from system. Turn on the vacuum pump when the gage reads 0 psig. Evacuate to 700 microns and make sure it holds for 15 minutes. If it doesn't hold you got a leak.

Add 10.5 oz r-134. Make sure the low side gage drops and the hi side gage rises.

 

thanks for fixing my my error....my fault. but thanks

 

why would you worry about ac in the winter if it cold outside

 

ya i know its cold here in cali right now, but when the weather starts to warm up around here i want to already have AC in my car working, plus i can recharge my AC for cheap

Because the A/C is the most effective method of defrosting
or defogging the windows due to its ability to remove moisture
and humidity.

 

This thread sounds like my physics class/crashed into thermo.
good stuff...

The evaporator coil temp is lower than the dewpoint of the air entering the coil. When the air passes thru the coil humidity is removed and condensation is produced.
