Refrigerant Circuit, Cleaning

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Clean the refrigerant circuit with refrigerant R134a (flush with refrigerant R134a) (Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CLEANING (FLUSHING) WITH REFRIGERANT R134A ) or blow out with compressed air and nitrogen (Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CLEANING WITH COMPRESSED AIR AND NITROGEN ) if:

-- Moisture or dirt has gotten into the refrigerant circuit (after a collision for example).

-- Refrigerant oil is dark and viscous.

-- There is too much refrigerant oil in the refrigerant circuit after replacing the compressor.

-- The A/C compressor had to be replaced due to "internal" damage (for example, noises or no output).

NOTE:

When cleaning components with compressed air and nitrogen, always extract the gas mixture escaping from the components through a suitable exhaust extracting system (workshop extraction system).
