Refrigerant (Gas)

Refrigerant is a specially formulated mixture designed to undergo a phase change from a gas to a liquid and vice versa within the air conditioning system. Its primary purpose is to absorb heat from the surrounding air and then release it to create a cooling effect, transforming hot air into refreshing cold air. Proper refrigerant selection and charge level are crucial for the system’s efficiency and performance.

In addition to refrigerant, AC compressor oil is an essential component that plays a vital role in maintaining the air conditioning system. This specialized oil serves as a lubricant, preventing friction and wear between moving components, particularly within the AC compressor. By lubricating the compressor, the oil helps to prevent seizing and potential breakdowns, ensuring the smooth operation of the air conditioning system.

It’s important to note that over time, refrigerant levels may decrease due to small leaks or system inefficiencies, leading to reduced cooling performance. Regular maintenance, including refrigerant leak detection and recharging, as well as checking and replenishing compressor oil, is essential to keep the air conditioning system running optimally and extend its lifespan. Qualified technicians equipped with the right tools can perform these tasks, ensuring your automotive air conditioning system provides reliable and comfortable cooling during hot weather conditions.

We also have a wide range of oils, dyes, and sealants available.
