The air conditioning system should never be operated if it is damaged or when there is evidence of refrigerant loss.
Refrigerant loss can deprive the system of its lubrication and lead to compressor damage.
Evacuate damaged and/or leaking air conditioning refrigerant circuits as quickly as possible using extraction, processing and recharging equipment with integral disposal and reprocessing capabilities.
