POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH HFC-134A
This service manual has been written to cover products manufactured with HFC-134A. HFC-134A compressors receive a synthetic based ester oil charge. The hygroscopic (water attraction) property of ester oil is many times greater than the mineral oils previously used with CFC-12. High system moisture causes the formation of acids and alcohol which can damage the compressor. Systems should not be left open for more than fifteen (15) minutes at any time as humidity from the air will enter the system. To ensure system dehydration, the system should be pulled down to 100 microns and vacuum pump oil (mineral oil) must not be allowed to enter the system.
Cleanliness of the system is extremely important. The presence of residues (chlorinated or greasy residues, mineral oil, or impurities) can lead to capillary tube restrictions, oil return problems and compressor damage. Do not use flux on brazed joints.
