Distribution of the oil quantity in the refrigerant circuit
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Total oil quantity 195 +/- 15 cm3
After suction removal from the system, the following quantities remain in the
OIL QUANTITY IN REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
| Condenser 2x 20 cm3 | ca.40cm3 |
| Evaporator ca. | 20 cm3 |
| Fluid tank with lines | ca. 30 cm3 |
| Compressor | ca. 50 cm3 |
| Circulating oil quantity in the refrigerant circuit | ca. 60 cm3 |
NOTE:
In new vehicles, the amount of oil removed by suction is approx. 15 .... 40 cm3
. Oil removed by suction must be returned to the system.
Refrigerant oil removed from a previously run air-conditioning system may no longer be used (special-category waste).
After the refrigerant has been removed by suction and a component has been replaced, the oil quantity must be determined and topped up by the quantity remaining in the removed component.
