Limo Gauge

The document discusses diagnosing issues in dual automotive air conditioning systems using low and high side pressure gauge readings. It provides charts showing common pressure readings and potential causes for different low/high side pressure combinations. It also includes tips for taking proper gauge readings and a chart relating refrigerant pressure to temperature at sea level.

It is difficult to pinpoint the problem on dual systems using only gauge readings. Always remember that since the two systems are connected on both the high and low side, a malfunction in either system will affect the gauge readings.

System low on refrigerant Orifice tube on front evaporator plugged Blockage in suction line near compressor

MAKE SURE: The engine is at increased idle (approx. 1200 RPM). The auxiliary condenser fan or a shop fan is on in front of the radiator. The windows and doors must be closed. Place the OEM system in re-circulation mode. Place ALL Blower motors on HIGH SPEED. Allow for a 10-15 minutes running time for system stabilization.

The pressure temperature relationship chart above was developed with R-12 refrigerant. With R-134a refrigerant, assuming the system has adequate condenser, the low side will tend to run lower (approx. 5 lbs.) and the high side will be higher (approx. 15 to 20 lbs.). At ambient temperatures above 100F the aforementioned high side pressure will be higher with a corresponding increase in low side pressure. An increase in humidity will increase pressures and temperatures. An increase in altitude will decrease pressures and temperatures.
