LIQUI MOLY PAG Air Conditioning Oil 46 | 250 ml | Compressor Oil | SKU: 4083

Product Information

What makes these PAG oils from the BEHR sales brand special is that they are not only suitable for use with the refrigerant R1234yf but can also be used with the refrigerant R134a. They are fully synthetic polyalkylene glyocols with specialised additives and are well suited to automotive aftermarket use. This could expose the compressor to excessive friction and other components such as the seals and expansion valve to fail.

Because there is a lack of lubrication in your car’s A/C compressor, the parts can grind onto each other.Consequently, when the compressor starts from cold, the differing density and viscosity of the oils will result in imprecise lubrication inside the AC compressor, leading to friction, overheating and seizure. If you do, you might risk damaging your car’s A/C system by opting for the wrong compressor oil or mishandling the various parts.

For a pound more I would certainly recommend the longer lines, you don't want to arse around trying to place the set of gauges on some vibrating engine part when you can hook it onto the bonnet catch.And because it does not absorb moisture, it is also used to lubricate O-rings and seals in both R-12 and R134a systems.

With the current EC Directive 2006/40/EC it was decided to only use refrigerants with a GWP of less than 150 in the future.

Although less common, another rotary example is the scroll compressor, which features both a fixed and rotating scroll that produces a constant flow of gas and therefore does not incorporate suction or discharge valves, but does again, rely upon a clutch pulley. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . If there is a leak in the refrigerant circuit, the refrigerant lines of the vehicle can be examined using a UV lamp in a dark room. Always follow the compressor or vehicle manufacturer guidelines for the right selection of the lubricant for the AC compressor. This handy product serves as a drying agent to eliminate moisture from your air con system, and can be applied to quickly seal any porous holes that may be causing gas to leak from your air con.Scroll through this page and find out about the different variants of refrigerant and compressor oils.

Hence the job could well be completed a bit quicker than a garage, AND the A/C chap may well do all the work outside your home so you know how long they have been working on your car. Is there a way - eg through coding, or adjusting the resistance of the outside air temp sensor - to have the aircon engage as low as eg 1C ambient? Mineral oil: Mineral refrigerant oil, also known as Alkyl Benzene Oil, was the default option up until HFC refrigerants became common place.

These would be idieal for the home DIY'er as you would be kicking the gauges around for years, I think they come with a case too. The only time the Environment Agency gets jumpy is when anybody just cracks open any joints in the system. PAG 46 oil is the correct specification lubricant for both reciprocating and rotary compressors, although there are even differences with this designation, as the formulation will vary slightly depending on whether the system uses R134a or the newer, more environmentally friendly, R1234yf refrigerant. Yes, to have too much oil will knacker the compressor, depends on how much there is in the system that shouldn't be there. In my experience when I've fitted compressors I've never added or removed oil from the system, when I know the nature of the original compressor failure.The oil film also keeps the rubber seals in the refrigerant lines and connections supple and reduces diffusion.
