When you said "it'll take a while" you weren't kidding! The whole process took my car over 30 minutes before the can emptied. When I began I almost gave up because the gauge wasn't moving and the can felt full, but patience paid off and it eventually took the whole can. I still have a bit further to go on my gauge, but my car is blowing very, very cold air!! Thanks for a good video with important tips. Also, many comments here ask what the pressure should be when full. On my gauge it says between 45 and 65, but others tell me full is between 40 and 50. I got mine to 40 before the can emptied and my a/c is much, much colder. I'm going to wait a few days to see if it leaks out, and if the temp remains steady I'll buy another can to top it off.

One thing I have done since the mid-'70s is to set the charging can in a 2qt saucepan full of very hot water once it begins to empty. This little trick makes the can empty in less than half the time by increasing the pressure in the can. As the can empties it gets very cold because that is what it is supposed to do. But the colder the can gets the longer it takes to empty.

The pressure gauge is the most important part and you skipped it, The gauge pressure should tell you how much Refrigerant gas is still in the AC system, and as you are filling the refrigerant gas it will tell you exactly when to stop filling as you reach the right pressure . I appreciate the slow explanation for everybody to understand but wish you explained the pressure gauge role in this process.

@thamwaikeong5885
Жыл бұрын
For those asking about the gauge, which the good poster overlooked to show. The proper recharged pressure is around 40 PSI, plus or minus 10 PSI. This is the blue region, which is usually marked 25 to 55 PSI. Once it reaches about 40 PSI, there is enough gas, and you can close off the tap on the can. The aircon should be cold enough. Look also at the sight glass on the receiver-drier. Enough gas usually shows clear liquid, or few bubbles. More bubbles usually means not enough. You can also touch the suction pipe (where the refill valve is) coming out from the evaporator, and onto the compressor's low suction port. This should feel cold, or fairly cold, as the compressor cuts in, after about 15 to 30 seconds.

You used a clear and concise terminology to describe the steps to take for the addition of coolant to the A/C system. Anyone who hasn't done this operation should have a much better idea of what it is that they are doing. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that the gauge needle position of a fully charged system wasn't indicated, but the instructions provided with the gauge assembly should cover this. You produced a fine video that should help those who are not familiar with adding coolant to the automotive A/C system. You performed a service that should help people who may not have extra funds to spend, get a bit of relief from the heat that the Summer months hammer us with. You didn't cover all aspects, but between what you have provided and the instructions on the can and gauge assembly, someone can get a little comfort. Thanks for taking the time to help others that may need a little bit of information to get through the heat of driving around in summer traffic.

@Brousey

Nice vid... Id like to add a few things... 1 prior to charging the system its best to leave doors open so that the clutch will stay engaged.. If clutch is disengaged you will get a higher reading.. You want a reading of 30-38PSI anything over 60 PSI can damage compressor. (On compressor pulley there is a 2nd wheel in the middle which spins... That is the clutch engaging while spinning you watch you reading) Also... I dont know why you would have the gauge facing the other way and informing people to fully open valve then agitate.... You invert the can then slowly open the valve while watching the gauge so you dont overcharge... Once you hit 30 close the valve... No need to crack er open, a split second late and you dicked er. 3rd this is just a bandaid... 4th prior to charging the system its a good idea to check for leaks.... Or of you don't want to, run the red tek ac sealant through it... Over time o-rings shrink/harden where you could use redtek leakstop Other leaks happen in metal and rubber lines, the condenser etc.. You would use redtek proseal. If youve achieved the proper charge (30-38psi) and the can still has refridgerant in it... DO NOT REMOVE THE CAN FROM THE CAN TAP HOSE VALVE!!! Leave attached to hose and store....

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I have to point out a few errors, 1. You have a gauge that is not visible to the audience nor to you, so there is no starting reference to go by. Each manufacture has a charge value for each vehicle. It is important to know what it is for the car you are adding the refrigerant to. 3. You need to shake the can first and every 3-4 seconds while adding the coolant. 4. You should add short, controlled bursts of refrigerant to allow the system to stabilize while looking at the gauge to see what the reading is currently and how much more to add. You simply opened the valve wide open without verifying what the readings were.

Purpose of the gauge, show your readings before, during ,after. The way you did it, just use a hose w/2-couplers!

You need to purge out moisture or air inside the two hoses. That is tricky since the manifold gauge is not provided with the valve to enable the purging 😅

Not checking pressure and releasing the valve on the can all the way will overcharge easily.

I need help. Right when I backed off the valve to release trapped air like you did in video my guage was still in the red reading 90psi. I noticed your gage read high to but need your help. Is the guage suppose to 0 back out before turning car on or what?

As mentioned - gauge readings was not shown during procedure. Probably because Helpful DIY had already filled this car and was just trying to show the procedure using an empty can without revealing the gauge reading ? One major flaw if ignoring a gauge reading can be if a user connects the hose to the low pressure port and the pressure IS ALREADY properly ok, indicating that NO FILLING IS NEEDED. Then wasting a can and trying to fill despite this can even be dangerous. And the aspect of how to then treat a penetrated can when you conclude that no more filling is needed (meter close to going into RED and still plenty of gas in the can) is not covered.

Not a total waste of time watching your video. I would have hoped for you to show what pressure should we stop filling the valve with the refrigerant. I'll give you a grade of 2/5. And I'm being generous at that.

First you must know why your AC need a refill, if due to leakages no matter how much you refill it will not last so you are not treating the problem and as far as I know car AC don’t need to do refill for your info.

Exactly. Good tutorials must explain every step in clear and concise language, which means slowing down a bit. The only real flaw in this one is not showing the meter gauge and how to compensate for outside air temps as to proper reading.

First off never mix refrigerants NEVER. Your adding r12a to a r134a system r12a was made to retrofit old r12systems 2nd you should be using proper gauges hi and low side you can get a set for under $50 looking at both high and low will let you know if it is low or you have another problem like bad txv or accumulator just adding refrigerant is an amature move and your putting out bad information there’s a reason hvac techs are well paid

He missed an important detail. You have to hold the can upside down to let the refrigerant empty out of the can into the ac system, Also, when you open the valve, you have to look at the gauge and only open it to 30 psi, as the instructions clearly tell you.

do not hold the can upside down. the r134 will come out as a liquid which is not compressable. may damage compressor. just shake it.

Hello that I don't understand, is why when you connect the hose, the gauge shows 130psi ? And the engine is not turning. I know when the compressor on the AC is ON, you should get 20kg/cm2 = 285psi. How do you proceed to bring the needle in the blue arc, ususally between 50 and 60 psi for a car with R134a gaz ? Many thanks for answering, all the best.
