Reply to "R12 capacity"

snaponbobMember

Actually, the specs are confusing. Here is a copy/paste--

The AC system holds 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs) of R134A.[1]
A crankshaft speed of 5,000 RPM is the max that the AC compressor should be active.
Rotary AC compressor produces 37 Deg F at vents with 3.1 lbs of R12.
2 pounds of R12 Freon will fully charge an empty Pantera AC system.

The 2.65 amount is for R134, which should/must be LESS than the R12 capacity. Then is says the rotary compressor takes 3.1 pounds of R12 to fill an empty system followed by the 2 pound spec.

I guess I can look for a sight glass and fill the system THAT way while monitoring pressures - the old school method. Otherwise ...... pull it down and start at 2 pounds to see how it does.
