Climate Control Systems Diagnosis & Repair
A/C Refrigerant System Service & Diagnosis
Evacuation
Evacuation is the process of creating a deep vacuum of
around 29 in. Hg. in the empty A/C system. Usually this is
done after the system has been opened for repairs. Evacu-
ation removes any air present and lowers the pressure in
the A/C circuit to the point where moisture in the system
boils at room temperature. This water vapor will then be
removed by the vacuum pump. You should evacuate a
system that has been opened for at least 15 min. to be
sure all air and moisture is removed.
For a quick and rough check for large system leaks, turn
off the vacuum pump as soon as it reaches more than 20-
25 in.Hg. Wait five minutes and observe the low pressure
gauge. If gauge pressure rises, there is probably a large
leak and there is no reason to continue evacuating until it
is repaired. This method will not locate very small leaks.
Leak detection methods will be discussed later.
Reasons for evacuating the A/C system:
• The system was opened for service
• The system was opened by an accident or has been left
open
• It is unknown whether the system has been open
• Part of a leak check procedure
Refrigerant Recycling
A/C service stations automatically recycle the recovered
refrigerant during the evacuation process. The refrigerant
is pumped continuously from the storage tank and passed
through the filter/dryer.
Usually no special steps need to be taken as long as the
storage tank valves are open. A sight glass and moisture
indicator will indicate the moisture content of the
refrigerant and the effectiveness of the filter/dryer.
Replacing PAG Oil
Once the system has been evacuated and a deep vacuum
exists, inject any required PAG oil. Follow the procedure
for the machine you are using. See the Repair Information
for the specified type of oil.
Do not attempt to add oil to a system that is pressurized.
The pressure will blow oil out of its container. Take care
that the oil supply container does not run out of oil. If this
occurs, air will be drawn into the A/C system and you will
need to evacuate again.
Always keep oil containers tightly sealed. PAG oil is hygro-
scopic and absorbs moisture very readily. Any container
left open must be discarded and not used. When
disposing, PAG oil should NOT be added to waste engine
oils.
