Automotive Air Conditioning Information Forum

thread resurrection... its a long one, but this is literally the only site that ive ever found that offered meaningful information, and i really appreciate it!

I have recently jumped back onto this project..it got to where it worked ok and i quit messing with it.

currently:
new compressor ...

coldhose iirc

Not sure if outside links allowed? (No. See Number 8 in Forum Rules.)

Says for #6 hose, but the threads on the body are #8 insert oring

think i found a problem....
universal orifice tube housing, came assembled, with an arrow on it...prob my own fault for not checking it.
but it was backwards, blew the OT into the hose.

replaced the condenser, verified the accumulator in/out i already had was correct, i need a few fittings to ...

Yep, i'm followin...the two suction lines are already Tee'd right at the compressor so im good there

The RD is currently only on the chiller circuit, liquid line comes out of the condenser hits the tee and splits to each.
chiller has the RD then to TXV
cabin has solenoid then to OT, evap ...

thanks guys,
i will start with the easiest , adding another accumulator to the chiller circuit and easing into the compressor cycle for the first couple minutes.

the additional accumulator, might be a dumb question, when youre talking about liquid settling, the compressor is probably the lowest ...

awesome info guys, appreciate it.

I will look into what i can do the re-work some of the equipment.
short term:
i should be able to relocate the RD to after the condenser, before splitting to feed both circuits.
I can grab another accumulator to put after the chiller brick (and also to verify ...

thanks for the clarification bohica2xo, the rear ac system is completely gone. temp of the chiller coolant i would like sub freezing honestly but anything below 50* will yield me nice intake temps

detroitAC, I am nearly certain the accumulator is piped correctly. i am going to replace the ...
