Reply to "R12 capacity"

snaponbobMember

Just so folks know, I sold and serviced A/C equipment and tools for 20 years while with Snap-On. Just saying so there is a feel for what I may or may not know.

The owner wants to stay OE stock, so the R12 system stays. We discussed this. He knows that R12 is running about $50 per small can or $50/lb from a machine at a shop. As for 32 degrees at the vent ---- WOW !!!! You SHOULD be "pleased".

BTW, while demoing a charging station I discovered that vacuum testing an A/C system can provide a false sense of "security". A system held 29" for over 15 minutes. After about a half pound of refrigerant went into a 3 pound system there were audible leaks. Bottom line, A/C systems are under pressure everywhere and vacuum can suck leaky spots tight !!!
