Who Has Vacuum Pump In Enugu? by Peppermintflav: 12:26am On Sep 13, 2020 |
Plus who knows where I can get my AC system vacuumed in Enugu? Most technicians here don't even have manifold guage. Pls if you know, point me in the right direction. Thanks. |

This problem led me into learning about auto AC. Most technicians don't have vacuum pump, nor manifold guage. I must confess where I'm learning , the guy doesn't have either. But I'm just gaining the practical experience. I have bought my manifold guage and will soon order for vacuum pump. Im using my honda CRV as a lab rat I removed the condenser which I felt was small and replaced it with a bigger type. (Lexus RX300) and now under 2:00pm sun I don't feel hot.. I'm using this opportunity to tell my Enugu residents that if you want ice cold AC that is done right holla.. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Peppermintflav: I have a vacuum pump, if you need one. I'm around Onitsha though. Also have UV dye aerosols and blacklight for leak detection. I no be AC technician o, na situation make me go buy all those things, as you observed no reasonable AC tech with correct equipment for this side. Finally once you understand the principle of AC operation, diagnosis and fixing no too dey complicated with the right equipment. After the condenser upgrade, how much more refrigerant did you add to the system, considering the factory refrigerant volume was expanded? 4 Likes |

chronos00:Bros I won't lie, na my boss fill the system. And he has no guage. His system is to fill small check the return. Till the return hose is very cold. But it took a while cos of the big condenser. Once I get my vacuum pump I'm discharging the whole system and I will buy Harp gas or Snow and use my scale to weigh while recharging. modified Is your pump for sale? |

Peppermintflav:what's the essence of vacuuming my ac system, does vacuuming check for leaks? If I fill my compressor with r134a refrigerant how long is it supposed to last before I top up, assuming I use my ac 5 times a week? |
Re: Who Has Vacuum Pump In Enugu? by Peppermintflav: 2:50pm On Dec 22, 2020 |
osato45:Vacuuming removes air and moisture from the system. This leaves room for only gas to go round your ac system. This in turn gives better cooling. Besides... air and moisture mixed with gas and oil causes chemical reaction within the system and with time causes damage to the compressor/ the entire ac system. An ac system done properly without leaks will stay up to a year without topping gas. I remember my sister's 96 Carina e. The car was used for 5years plus, and the ac was never worked on for a day. 3 Likes |

Peppermintflav: Lol it took some effort and cost to source the vacuum pump, at the moment it's not for sale, I just assist people with vacuuming as requested. Meanwhile make we try dey environmentally responsible, though situation can make it hard sometimes. These refrigerants are not so wonderful for the environment |
Re: Who Has Vacuum Pump In Enugu? by chronos00: 4:00pm On Dec 22, 2020 |
osato45: In addition to the reply above, yes, a vacuum pump can detect AC system leaks, however to pinpoint the exact source of the leak you would need additional tools. Sealed AC systems can work for years, as long as there are no leaks or malfunctions 4 Likes |

Peppermintflav: Boss I was just gonna ask you this oo. Never top up my car ac for 3 years and it’s chilling in hot sun at lowest. From a little glass transparent on the AC line I can see the gas is low. But AC still chill. I wanted to top up but I am staying by the rule, if it’s not broken don’t fix it Please advise 1 Like |

Re: Who Has Vacuum Pump In Enugu? by osato45: 6:39pm On Dec 22, 2020 |
Peppermintflav:is vacuuming same as manualing realising gas from the low pressure line valve using a pin, just like how road side guys who fill cooking gas cylinders, they fill gas into a cylinder from another cylinder, then still release the gas still just to reduce the amount of air in it. |
Re: Who Has Vacuum Pump In Enugu? by Peppermintflav: 8:37pm On Dec 22, 2020 |
osato45:Nah.. nothing close to it. There's a machine called vacuum pump. You hook it up to the ac system , plug it in ecectricity and leave it for nothing less than 30mins.it will suck out all the air and moisture in the ac lines and components. 2 Likes

homeboy205:how? |
Re: Who Has Vacuum Pump In Enugu? by chronos00: 6:08am On Dec 24, 2020 |
alphaNomega: Lol, have no fear That little detail he mentioned is a pointer that he may own an older model vehicle, or a non-North American model vehicle. Many older vehicles used the R12 refrigerant system which was the predecessor of the R134a system in most cars on the roads today. With the R12 system, there's a sight glass in the engine bay connected to the AC hoses that indicates the level of refrigerant present in the system. The R134A system eliminated the sight glass. 1 Like |
