MACS Recommended Service Procedures

MACS Recommended Service Procedures  MACS Recommended Service Procedures © MACSW December 2005 1 of 23 Revision December 2005 MACS Recommended Service Procedures Initial Customer Contact It is important to obtain information from the customer identifying the problem and any previous servicing history prior to attempting repair of the system. • Use of the MACS “Air Conditioning & Heater Customer Questionnaire” will help identify the problem. • Identify service activity on MACS “A/C – Heating – Ventilation – Cooling System Checklist.” Identification of Type of Service Mobile A/C systems are an integral part of the total vehicle and operation of engine cooling fan(s) and the A/C compressor can be controlled by the vehicles’ computer systems resulting in a direct effect on system operation. Cooling Operation • Lack of cooling can be due to many reasons including: o Compressor operation o System Refrigerant Charge and Type ƒ Contaminated refrigerant ƒ Air in system ƒ Too much ...

R-1234yf Refrigerant

R-1234yf Refrigerant For Your Car Auto makers are slowly moving toward a new refrigerant for automotive air conditioning systems. The new refrigerant is R-1234yf (HFO-1234yf), and it will be phased in slowly over time starting with some 2014 model year vehicles. R-1234yf has cooling properties that are similar to R-134a, which has been used as an automotive refrigerant since it was introduced back in 1994 to 1995 to replace R-12. R-134a contains no CFCs, which are harmful to the Earth’s protective ozone layer, but it does retain heat well and has a relatively high Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating of 1410. IMPACT ON GLOBAL WARMING Automotive refrigerants that leak out of A/C systems contribute very little to the overall global warming problem, only about 0.14% according to scientific estimates. Even so, when you multiply the millions of vehicles that are AC-equipped times even a small amount of refrigerant leakage over time, the numbers can add up. Some would argue ...

Alternative Refrigerants

Alternative Refrigerants For Your Vehicle  As R-12 continues to disappear, the price of R-12 refrigerant continues to rise. So what do you recharge an older air conditioning system with if R-12 is unavailable? DROP-IN ALTERNATIVES FOR R-12 REFRIGERANT? Though a number of alternative refrigerants are marketed as "drop-in" replacements for R-12, there is really no such thing as a true drop-in replacement. The reason why is because Federal law prohibits the topping off A/C systems with ANY refrigerant that is chemically different from what is already in the system, unless all of the old refrigerant is first removed so the system can be converted to the alternative refrigerant. There are, however, a number of alternative refrigerants that can be used in older vehicles with R-12 A/C systems, and most have been reviewed and approved by the EPA for retrofitting older R-12 A/C systems. Approved refrigerants must meet the EPA's SNAP (Significant New Alternatives P...
