Re: AC not blowing cool air
Well, if some on had R-12 sitting around, it will cost several hundred $$ if
you can get R-12. They make direct replacements R-402A or FR-12 which can be used as a 134a replacement. The entire system will have to be evacuated and recovered to about 500 microns. Once this is done the replacement refrigerant can be added. It is not something you can do unless you have the equipment. -- HarryS JAFGBR JAFTJO "Fam_Pettersson" <gropette@online.no> wrote in message news:vw6Ic.2904$v04.41464@news2.e.nsc.no... > Thanks, is it possible to refill with freon ? > "DougW" <post.replies@invalid.address> skrev i melding > news:ys6Ic.46438$Lh.7485@okepread01... > > Fam_Pettersson did pass the time by typing: > > > Jeep Cherokee Laredo 88mod, 6syl.Automatic 4L > > > The AC is not blowing cold air, anything I can do ? > > > What should I check ? > > > > Low refrigerant (freon) > > > > Unless you have the proper equipment there isn't much > > you can check.

> Thanks, is it possible to refill with freon ? Freon is a brand name. There are several types of refrigerant out there, home use (R-22), and car use (R-12, R-134a). R-22 is not compatible with R-12 and R-12 is not compatible with 134a. You have to use either R-12 or a "substitute" gas. Most local auto parts stores have these but none of them work for long. The best soltion is to convert to 134a, but that will be expensive. > "DougW" skrev i melding... >> Fam_Pettersson did pass the time by typing: >>> Jeep Cherokee Laredo 88mod, 6syl.Automatic 4L >>> The AC is not blowing cold air, anything I can do ? >>> What should I check ? >> >> Low refrigerant (freon) >> >> Unless you have the proper equipment there isn't much >> you can check.

The AC had required recharging frequently over the years and her mechanic no longer had r12. I evacuated the systen and put in 2 cans of R134 one containing conditioner and compatable oil and it's working fine sofar. I can tell where it's been leaking because there was a oil/dirt build up around a fitting. I've refilled older r12 systems with r134 a few times on VW's and have found if the system was sound and just low on refigerant that it would work well. Joe R. |
