The air conditioning system should never be operated if it is damaged or when there is evidence of refrigerant loss.
In the event that refrigerant is lost, lubrication can fail. This will lead to damage of the refrigerant compressor.
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.
