    Charging 134a



    My Dear experts :
    There are some constant coefficients to define the refrigerant charge of typical R & AC
    system which operates on R12 , R22 or similar .
    but I seriously want to know a common rule of estimating mass charge of the other
    refrigerants versus cycle , tonnage and inside volume of systems .
    For Exp :
    I have recently designed and installed a splite air conditioning system on typical passanger
    car with followiong specification :
    Compressor : 2pieces 4P15.2 (Bitzer)
    Refrigerant :134a
    Era.Temp : 45*F (Dx)
    Cond.Temp : 65*F (Air cool)
    Ambient Temp : 50*F
    Total System Volume :120 lit
    Reciever Volume : 10 lit
    How weigh of R13 should I prepare as a charge ?
    What is the physical property of result of oil (Ester BSE55) with air or moisture .


    S.P

    This sounds like a more detailed repeat of your previous post.
    If you have an expansion valve, install a liquid line sight glass and charge just enough refrigerant to clear the sight glass of bubbles.

    How can a system for a passenger car have a volume of 120 Liters?

    If the ambient temperature is 50 F., why do you need A/C ?

    Ester oil should not be exposed to moisture or air. If it has been, it should be changed.

    Good luck!
