Water Content

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Audi SQ5, 2024 Audi Q5 e, 2024 Audi Q5, 2023 Audi SQ5, and 2023 Audi Q5 e. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Only very small amounts of water are soluble in liquid refrigerant. On the other hand, refrigerant vapor and water vapor mix in any ratio.

Any water in the refrigerant circuit will be entrained in the form of droplets once the dryer in the fluid or collecting container has absorbed approximately 7 grams of water. This water flows up to the expansion valve nozzle or restrictor and turns to ice, and the A/C system no longer has a cooling effect.

Water destroys the A/C system, because it forms acids when combined with other contaminants at high pressures and temperatures.
