Ill see how it works in the next few days when driving to work and let you know.
I foresee future pjb threads regarding blown ac components
This. :rofl
His compressor will be seized by September.
Hey what you guys doin Friday? If its nice I need to get mine sucked down and charged on the Viper. I found and repaired the leak (compressor o-rings like i thought) but wanted it charged properly so I didn’t use any of that junk ass autozone crap.
Wut? 35"?
[quote=DannyboyUpstate;975819]28 in/hg is not deep enough to eliminate all moisture at 70degF.
That’s what GM specs for their systems with a 3 minute hold time and we have very few component failures.
Well the bottom line is that is not deep enough. Check out this chart:
If you only go to 28 in/hg you can see there could still be moisture in the system as long as the air temperature is under 86degF. What’s more important, is that this chart shows you that reading vacuum levels with a bourdon tube type gauge is not accurate enough. You need a gauge that reads microns. Either a thermistor or transducer type device.
I’m guessing you deal with industrial refer systems or something of the nature.
Our service machine is set to go to 30 inches at the shop even though the manufacturer only specs 28. I’ll have to save that chart though.
Wow. This blew up. I just replaced all the seals except the compressor shaft seals in my system as well as new expansion tube and receiver dryer. I’m hoping for ice cold AC this season!
