I replaced my rust bucket accumulator the other day and pulled a deep vac on the system for an hour. Before vacuuming it down the system passed a hydrostatic test at 73 psi. I used nitrogen for that.
I stopped charging r134a at 29 ounces. Basically I handled this the same way I would a split residential AC whose suction line dryer had been hit by a lawn mower blade
The system works. However, I wasn't paying close attention to the charging scale so I may have 28 ounces or I may have 30 ounces of 134 in it. Label on the truck says 30 ounces max. Most residential units will run 1 ounce low on freon.
If this were your truck, would you re measure the refrigerant charge or just run it?
