Rapid refrigerant discharge (Air conditioning)

Rapid refrigerant discharge

If the air conditioning system is involved in accident damage and the circuit is punctured, the refrigerant will discharge rapidly. The rapid discharge of refrigerant will also result in the loss of most of the oil from the system. The compressor must be removed and all the remaining oil in the compressor drained and refilled as follows:

1. Remove the drain plug and gravity drain all the oil, assisted by rotating the clutch plate(not the pulley).
2. Refit the compressor with the following amount₃ of new refrigerant oil: 100cm
3. Refit the drain plug and plug the inlet and outlet port.
