ABOUT AC SYSTEMS

  • Ac systems are a selfcontained system of refrigerant, PAG oil, hoses, and specially designed components.
  • The act of conditioning air is simply removing the HEAT from it!
  • No matter how cold air seems to be in cab there is only really a 25 degree drop.
  • Usually 10 minutes is the standard run time to stabilize the system.
  • Leaks in the system can be detected in various ways uv dye, electronic leak detector, and soap and water.
