You're not subtracting the weight of the can first.

[@bobbytables4305]

There's an easier way to do this. As long as your scale isn't super cheap it should be able to show a negative value. What you do is you put the full can on there and tear that amount. Then whatever you figured out the difference was that should be the negative value that will appear on the scale. And then you know you've added the right amount.

[@RwC42]

As an SAE Certified automotive air conditioning tech I would like to point a couple of things out. First, if you run your vehicles AC for approx. 10 minutes EVERY MONTH, you will lessen the loss of refrigerant. One of the reasons automotive systems have oil incorporated with the freon is to coat the inside of the hoses used preventing freon loss. Also, if you insist on vacuming the system down make sure you replace the oil that you vacume out or you will risk burning up the compressor and the will be nothing to seal the inside of the hoses. And remember to purge BOTH gauge lines, not just the line coming from the refrigerant supply. Just a couple of helpful tips.

[@mitchellcrane9809]

The information you have stated is correct except for one thing. System oil is lost when you do a refrigerant recover. Doing a vacuum on a atmospheric system does no remove oil. The oil that comes out during recovery comes out with liquid refrigerant.

[@tommurphy4307]

application-designed systems use hard lines- cheaper uni-fit systems and kits utilize hoses. that means the froil is used exclusively to lubricate compressors.

good advice about Autozone loaner equip. Vacuum pump and manifold setup can be rather pricey for once in a great while diy purchase. Also, be aware that if you have any sizeable leaks, they should be fixed before pulling a vacuum on your system otherwise you will pull oxygen and moisture in under that vacuum (nitrogen is normally used to pressurize and test for leaks). Minimal amounts, the system drier will take care of.

[@theamaturepro]

Many scales will weigh in the negative. If yours does, you can put your can on the scale, tare it or zero the display, then, in this case, watch for it to read -210g. If it's a cheap scale, when using it to read live data like this, it's useful to press very lightly on the scale and let off before reading the weight. They're designed to set an item on and weigh, not to detect momentary change in mass. If you have a neighbor that sells "pharmaceuticals", ask to borrow their scale, it's probably high end 😂

In commercial air conditioning manufacturing, I have never seen anyone fill a system by weight. It is always done by pressure. The instructions on the can says to keep turning the cam right side up and upside down. Although leading the gas get sucked in takes more time, as you suggest, it might be safer. Also if there is a leak, get a can of that stop leak that’s right next to the refrigerantOn the shelf

[@ryanglaser5336]

That stop leak can bring havoc on a honda A/C system😢. Better to just try and find the leak with dye to avoid having to replace even more components (adding insult to injury).

[@auto-tech3101]

going by pressure on some modern systems will not work as they use variable compressor it would be like trying to charge a inverter minisplit just by pressure. As for conventional system one generally can not do superheat and sub cooling so pressure measurement would not be as accurate as weight despensing.

[@paulrooster2108]

Right there , that stop leak is fine for like a tiny lil leak say like pin hole in a weld , anything past that your better off doing a replacement of that component. An stay away from Non Name Brand Sealants as they have all kinds of crap in them that will plug up your system up .

What sort of vacuum pump do you need?

[@zoltanszucs9346]

No, he is not right. R-134a has 0 Ozone deplation potential. However it does have a very high 1300 global warming potential, so it's illegal (at least on civilized parts of the world) to let it out into the atmosphere ! To put it into perspective: a full load of this refrigerant has the same greenhouse effect as driving a 2006 Honda Accord i-VTEC 2.0L for half a year (3783 km, 2350 miles). And there is no way it would ever get captured by plants (CO2 does). (An F-gas Cat.II certified engineer from EU.)

[@Darlemonte]

​@@usaman7358lmao, yes, tell everyone where you did this so you can be investigated. XD

[@F8Tributo]

Another pitfall is if you keep recharging a system with the typical refrigerant-and-lubricant premixed cans from the autoparts store. (Without first collecting or purging the contents of the system) If/when the gaseous refrigerant leaks out, the heavier lubricant can stay behind. Next time you recharge with a premixed can, you're adding even more lubricant to what's already there. The lubricant itself is not compressible when there's just too much in the system, and it pools up in the compressor. Eventually, the compressor can stall or even break, if it's forced to compress a diet of mostly lubricant. That's another reason why the system needs to be evacuated properly, and refilled per spec.

[@Airon79]

Or therefore a lack of lubricant ; depending on which way you hold the can during charging . Should one shake the can prior to charging ? Do they still teach to heat or chill the can prior to charging or has that proven not to speed things up ? I once accidentally hooked up to the hi side during charging , luckily the canister didn't blow up but got me to thinking , maybe we should do it from the hi side with the canister upside down so we assure that we get a proper mix off oil and refrigerant . Although , I would think preferable with the engine off and with the ac system under a vacuum , if charging from the hi-side , or maybe the refrigerant cans are under enough hi-pressure to charge on their own to charge from the hi-side with engine off ? Although doing it that way you probably wouldn't be able to just top off an already charged system .

Hello anthemgirl4880 what kind of car you drive just wad curious I can't afford a mechanic since last year I've crossed paths with his channel since I have no knowledge of vehicles? By the way he sounds like Joe Pesci a little huh🤔

Spray Lysol on interior it helps cool car down 👇

What's the Lysol for? Celebratory drink?

I used Lysol and it worked great I couldn't get the regular scent but the lemon scent also works

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

If your just adding refrigerant then having a full gauge set makes it much easier since you can use the temperature/pressure differential chart to determine when the low and high side pressures are in balance for the current weather conditions. On and old system its good to get at least one can of refrigerant with an oil and dye charge in it to accommodate for any oil loss from the multiple rubber hoses and seals using the can with the oil/dye first. After the first time I used the full gauge set I've never gone back to just using a low side only gauge and guessing about system balance. Plus by using the pressure chart with the gauge set you can also quickly tell by the readings if you have a bad expansion valve or compressor. Some have been pleasantly surprised when they thought that because the DIY low pressure only gauge showed they had the right amount of refrigerant and weren't cooling well they needed a new compressor and expansion valve (which a Specialty Pro AC Shop had verified along with was very willing to charge them well over $1,000 to replace them) that while reading the gauges with me along with reviewing the pressure chart showed it only needed a little more refrigerant to get the system balanced and cooling efficiently again. A partial can of 134a later got them a balanced system that cooled better than it ever had since they bought that Toyota and it didn't cost them over $1,000 to get there. Over a year later they still tell me its still almost too cold despite our semi-tropical climate with effective temperatures hitting well over 110 degrees the past few days. They are so glad we chatted and checked things out with the full gauge set before they gave up and traded the car in for something newer since they couldn't justify the cost of installing the new parts the AC Specialty Shop had told them they absolutely needed. Best!

[@Jesse-rj2ye]

Outside temps make the AC temps inside much cooler lol

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

@@Jesse-rj2ye However even in that case a Hi/Low pressure full gauge set along with a temperature/pressure chart will let you see whether your charge is in balance for that particular ambient temperature and take the guess work out of it. AC units can blow really cold when its cold out so a little understanding of the physics behind the process along with a decent gauge set will allow you to get the job done right even in cooler weather. Best!

Scott, I pumped my compressor with Lysol like the thumbnail but it didn't work!

Turn the can upside down.

1234yf isn't that expensive in Canada. Canadian Tire sells it for $45 ($35.00 USD). Maybe you guys in the States are getting ripped off?

[@1990neill]

1234yf is about 30-40 dollars a can. 134a is able to be found in a comparable size for about 7-10 dollars.

[@jamesanderson9317]

Hey Scott be sure to inform viewers to spray condenser coil clean. That will or should lower head pressure which should in turn lower suction pressure. Lower pressure lower temperature 😊

[@nthgth]

Never thought of that for my car but where I work we deal with high head pressure alarms and dirty coils pretty regularly! Gotta check that out on my Subie

[@bigdog911PAradio]

What coil are you referring to James Sanderson?

[@rogueparticle2829]

Question though. What happened to any remaining refrigerant "vacuumed" out of the system?

[@alejandromorazan3420]

Gets put into a tank and sent to a facility for recycling

[@grand73am]

@@alejandromorazan3420 Not when doing it this way. The refrigerant just escapes in this case. It would take a charging machine with a tank on it to capture the old stuff.

[@grand73am]

It just escapes. If it's leaked down to where it doesn't blow cold anymore, there's not that much left anyway. And r134a isn't supposed to hurt the ozone anyway.

[@seannoh672]

No, not necessarily true. There can still be refrigerant in the system.

[@alantobin8762]

Where are you sucking the contents of the ac system to. Is it a tank of some sort or just sucking it out and venting it to the open air?

Good vid Scotty. Does anyone know what you do with the old refrigerant when you pull a vacuum? I guess you must have to empty the system first and then pull a vacuum?
