Evacuation and recharge service allows technicians to add the precise amount of refrigerant recommended by the MVAC manufacturer. They may undercharge or overcharge the system-both of which impair system performance.Įvacuation and recharge service involves removing the MVAC refrigerant, cleaning it using recycling equipment (to remove impurities), recharging it into the system, and adding new refrigerant to replace the amounts that have leaked out. There is no way for technicians to determine how much refrigerant is in your MVAC system when you arrive at the shop, so they must guess how much refrigerant to charge into the system. Topping off Versus Evacuation and RechargeĪ top off involves adding refrigerant to your MVAC. If done properly, repairing or replacing leaking MVAC components will provide longer lasting benefits. Topping off or recharging a system should improve cooling the passenger compartment, but neither service permanently fixes refrigerant leaks. Repairing or replacing leaky MVAC components and recharging the system.Evacuating remaining refrigerant and recharging the system.Topping off the system with refrigerant.Vehicle owners generally have three options for addressing leaks and recharging refrigerant in their MVACs.
Stopping refrigerant leaks from MVACs helps protect the environment and improves your system’s cooling performance. Motor vehicle air conditioners (MVACs) use refrigerants that can contribute to ozone layer depletion, climate change, or both.
