RE: [Chrysler300] reciever drier/oli

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,
 
If the compressor locked up and failed, it most likely contaminated the
system.  I would purge the entire system with mineral spirits before
attempting to evacuate and charge as you will probably have problems with
dirt in the system.  The dirt will damage your new compressor and cost you
that plus the R12 you put in it.   A complete purge is the only way you can
clean the system and have an accurate way to put the correct amount of oil
back in the system.  Disconnect the lines at the expansion valve, the
compressor, and the receiver dryer.  Fill with mineral spirits and blow
through each component until clear.  Install new parts,  pour in the
specified amount of oil on the high side, and evacuate.  Charge to specified
amount.  Don't take shortcuts, you will be sorry.  Been there, done that!

Note: do NOT use mineral spirits with R134a, they are not compatible

Subject: [Chrysler300] reciever drier/oli


  

had a fellow tell me I should put a little a/c system oil in my new reciever
drier before installing it.

I'm hanging a new rebuilt A/C compressor on the F and EPR valve also. Gonna
use R-12

System has been down for 5 years or so and still had a charge in it. The old
compressor had locked up and burnt the clutch and bearing up.

Any comments??
