Take Charge Of A/C
In the years ahead, a new refrigerant called HFO-1234yf will gradually replace R-134a in new vehicles. Up until the early 1990s, R-12 refrigerant (Freon) was used in virtually all automotive A/C systems. It was an efficient refrigerant and relatively cheap. But the chlorine in R-12 was found to have a damaging effect on the
A/C Compressors Take A Pounding
If an A/C system is found to contain sludge or black gunk, it means everything in the system is contaminated and must either be cleaned or replaced. The A/C compressor is a pump that compresses and circulates refrigerant within the A/C system. Some have pistons inside while others have rotating vanes on an eccentric
