- Today, we go over how to troubleshoot and make repairs to the A/C system on a Volvo VNL truck. We also go over how to recover and charge the system using a guage set. This video is for entertainment purposes only. Enjoy 😉

Hey bud like your channel im also a moble guy honestly you should always pressure the system before it gets vacuum it is a pressure system if you can put pressure to the system but don't use a air compressor
@SimpleMan-hg3dx You're the man!
@@RCGdiesel im definitely not the man but if there's any way to help somebody I'll do it 300 to 350 pounds of pressure
@SimpleMan-hg3dx You are the man. The simple man. Thank you for the help, buddy.
Stay cool buddy
@terrellscaife2411 You go that right bud!!
Nice job, I am enjoying your videos!
@kurt4equip Thanks bud! I am glad you enjoyed 😉
Do you worry about compressor damage when liquid charging on the low side? I’ve always charged on the high side when adding liquid refrigerant
@ericnasset47 This is a possibility. I'm glad you brought this up. First, iv ever heard of it. I'll change things up. Thanks for the comment.
Awesome
I'm glad you liked 😁
How many watts does your generator or inverter have to be able to run the recovery machine?
@xNightWolf95x The one I have now is 7500watt 12000peak. It a little big for just the recovery machine. I use this one because I am a weld with it also.
@@RCGdiesel do you know how many amps the recovery machine draws? I want to make sure I don’t buy one that is too low watts
@xNightWolf95x Not for sure, but the machine I use is a robinair RG3
Seeing as it was a condesor, did you also do a reciver dryer?
@TI09NY Not on this one. I only do a dryer if it needs an expansion valve or compressor, and in that case, we would change out the whole system.
Nice do you need to add oil in the system?
@patricelangevin9162 Adding oil will definitely not hurt. If you were to add oil, it would be added through the low side while it is under a vacuum. I have a tool for this when it is necessary.
@@patricelangevin9162 yes you need to add oil the saying is 1 ounce per component but the condenser he replaced was very thin a condenser that thin needs a half ounce of oil
How come you don't pressure the system before you vaccum it
@SimpleMan-hg3dx I check for a vacuum leak first and then charge the system. Charging the system puts it under pressure.
@@RCGdiesel not trying to step on your toes but it is a pressurized system vacuum doesn't show if an expansion valve has a problem always put 350 pounds of pressure in a system before you vacuum it and thanks for the reply
@SimpleMan-hg3dx OH, I see what you're saying now. It was obvious it was a low charger because of the condenser leaking, so i stuck with the obvious. You're not stepping on my toes, bud. we are just talking, haha.
