The joint at the receiver/dryer leaks on the low pressure hose side. I used a new sealing gasket and tried another. Both leak. Any ideas as to what I can do to seal this area? thanks, Dale Fri, 28 May 2010 14:53:08 -0500 http://www.aircoparts.com/a/c-forums/a/c-questions-and-opinions/273-leak-at-receiver/dryer.html#273 I just installed a new compressor, expansion valve and receiver/dryer in my 1995 Dodge Caravan 3.3. I can't seem to get the low pressure line to seal at the receiver/dryer. I've used two new gaskets but it leaks like a sieve. I can't seem to find any reason for this. Any ideas? Sun, 23 May 2010 06:54:47 -0500 http://www.aircoparts.com/a/c-forums/a/c-questions-and-opinions/272-insulation-on-low-side-pipe-beneficial.html#272 There has been quite a bit of discussion with my fellow tech friends as to putting insulation on the low side piping in an auto a/c system. Some say it is beneficial in insulating the refrigerant from the high temps in the engine compartment, particularly in hot climates, and claim a lowered vent temp of 4 degrees or more. I say it won't have much of an effect if any. I argue that if it did the car industry would have adopted it. Also, I am having trouble remembering if I had seen any insulation in the past on older cars with R12. Was this ever a practice? I know in home units insulation is primarily used to prevent humid air from reaching the pipes causing excess condensation.

My project is restoring the AC system on my 1996 Suburban K2500 4X4 big block. I going to be replacing some hoses, the accumulator, etc. My present accumulator is about 8-1/2 inches long; and all the parts places, including General Motors, come up with one about 7-1/2 inches long. In attempting to research the correct part, I've seen specs showing that there two accumulators for the Suburban, one being for a vechicle with rear air, which is what I have. Additionally, the current accumulator sticker says add 4 lbs of 134A, and the replacements that I've been given say 2 lbs. of 134A. I've been to about 7 supply/parts places, and they all say the smaller accumulator is the correct part. Is the size of the accumulator actually significant? Please advise. Thanks.

We are a family oriented non-profit organization promoting responsible off highway recreation. We are holding our annual off highway vehicle extravaganza (OHV) this May 28th, 29th, and 30th at Rausch Creek Adventure Park. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss sponsorship of this event with you. Any amount of sponsorship is greatly appreciated. Items such as stickers and other promotional material make terrific "goody" bag articles; where donated products are excellent raffle items. We are looking for leaders in the industry to help us promote responsible four wheeling and family oriented outdoor recreation. We use the money raised from our raffle to support organizations such as United Four Wheel Drive Association and Tread Lightly to name a few. All sponsorships help us keep the cost of our event to a minimum therefore increasing the number of participants. We anticipate 200-300 people to be in attendance this year. This will be our 14th OHV and our 4th at Rausch Creek Adventure Park. Please help us make this event a success.

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:53:49 -0600 http://www.aircoparts.com/a/c-forums/a/c-questions-and-opinions/243-pressure-testing-evaporator-core.html#244 hi, actually the evaporator core reach the 100psi when the system is turned off. the pressure stabilize on the entire system once is off. an evaporator core can be tested with the valve on and I recommend that you test the evaporator with around 150psi. Sometimes when the leak is minimum the low pressure wont let you detect it. when I test an evaporator, I turn on the system for around 5 minutes, then I turn it off and wait around 4 minutes, after that I turn on the blower only, not the compressor, and check for leaks with a leak detector.

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:12:44 -0500 http://www.aircoparts.com/a/c-forums/a/c-questions-and-opinions/177-a/c-charging.html#233 vapor only goes on the low side, blue hose, and liquid on the high side, red hose, if you charge refrigerant in a liquid form on the low side you may damage the compressor, since the compressor is made to work with vapor only Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:04:12 -0500 http://www.aircoparts.com/a/c-forums/a/c-questions-and-opinions/178-2000-sienna-ac.html#232 if you disconnect you may have some problems since the a/c systems are designed for certain applications, what could happens is that the refrigerant cycle will be altered and won't work that way it's supposed to work. if you will disconnect the rear system, you will need to take out some oil from the compressor, check spec. for you compressor, most of the times, the compressor have a label that indicates you what amount of oil and refrigerant you will need to add or subtract for double or single units. once you take out the correct amount of oil, just charge you system until it reach normal pressure. if it is r134a, the low side should read around 32psi, and high side around 180-200, that depends on the current ambient temperature and vehicle cooling system. hope this info help you.

I know this is not as much information you may wanted, but something is better than nothing. Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:45:01 -0500 http://www.aircoparts.com/a/c-forums/a/c-questions-and-opinions/214-1998-g.m.c.chevy-van-truck-box.html#228 on most of the gm vehicles, the evaporator core is on the engine compartment on the left side. you'll need to take out the accumulator (the big silver can with hoses) i case you don't know much of a/c systems, and then start to unbolt the screws, i think they are 8mm, should be around 6 to 9 bolts. it is easy for most of the people, well if you are familiarize with auto mechanics, but you can search for the part in here and have a good quote for it. any question you ask me. it will help if you send some pictures, so I can guide you on the process. good luck Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:09:01 -0500 http://www.aircoparts.com/a/c-forums/a/c-questions-and-opinions/193-ac-compressor-bracket-for-agriculture.html#227 what exactly you are looking for?
