Automotive Air Conditioning Information Forum

Recently, I posted this for someone else:

Be sure to use the green HNBR o-rings of the correct size , coat them and the mating surfaces with Nylog Blue (a little goes a long way), reassemble, evacuate, recharge to specs, and I doubt whether you'll have any more leakage problems.

I recommend ...

John, you’ve got me confused here. The thinner high pressure liquid line on my truck runs from the condenser to the smaller line on the evaporator which is the inlet, correct?
Yes.


So, if I flushed the evaporator through the larger diameter evaporator line (this line comes from the R/D on my ...

On the surface, one might think that your inquiries are fairly simple. Speaking as a non-MVAC engineer, I believe they're more complex.

As for your question about adding a second condenser, that scenario has been discussed on this Forum within the past couple of years. If I recall correctly, doing ...

Wow! How did you charge it that you managed to blow the HPRV? Typically, the trinary switch in your Camry will shut-down the compressor before it reaches that critical high-pressure point.

The HPRV is a one-time valve, so you'll need to replace it.

The only place I'm aware of to purchase a new ...

I agree with Tim. Adding dye to the TXV side or the suction side of the evaporator, I don't believe it makes any difference.

In addition to what Cusser said, I would add no more than three-quarters of an ounce of UV dye to the evaporator. Again, a little goes a long way. Special tools are also available to inject the dye into the low-side service port after the system is charged.

Add about one ounce of PAG oil, then add ...

If you haven't already done so, pull out the Orifice Tube (OT) and examine it. It might be partially blocked with gunk and metal particles. If it is, I'm afraid the system will need a lot more work.

How many miles are on the clock?

That's good. No, it wouldn't circulate the solvent.

I evacuated the system before I recharged it, and the part I purchased claimed to have the R/D already in it. I did measure the refrigerant by weight.
Regarding the amount of PAG oil I put in, I don't recall the exact amount, but it was in the neighborhood of 1.25-1.5 ounces. I did get it from the ...

I don't have a diagram for your compressor. But ACKits.com, this Forum's sponsor, can have your existing compressor rebuilt as long as the mainshaft still rotates smoothly.
