Title: Freon charge Post by: on October 08, 2005, 08:40:05 am I have been reading in this forum and have a question on freon charge. The box I am working on has a tag that states 8.5 oz. The box was worked on about 6 mths ago, but that company has closed, so I have been working on it now. The first time I worked on it, the gauges read about 0 to 2 lbs on the low side. I put R12 up to about 12 lbs on the guage and it cooled good for about a month or two, then it got warm again. I put more R12 in it to about 16 lbs on the guage, it cooled very good over night and then it quit, the gauges read about 5 lbs. All of the time I was working on it, the entire 2 months the small line would freeze up. So I decided to pull a vaccume on it and start over. I pulled it down to 30" and let it set 24 hours, and the gauge still had about 29" on it.
I put Freeze 12 back in and after about 6 oz I was still reading a vacuum, so I put all of the 12oz can into it and still had some vacuum. Should I still have a vaccume or pressure, this is the first coke box I have worked on if you could not tell. Title: Freon charge Post by: Kevin C on October 10, 2005, 08:31:09 am Hello
It sounds like you have a restriction in the refrigeration system. I would recommend that you call Eric at global compressors. He one of the sponsors of the website. Kevin |
