Ac question installing r12 charging ports


Flamingo 5

Recommended Posts

... and you are going to run R12? What makes you think it is an R134 system?

 

If you have the correct oil in the compressor and perhaps the correct expansion valve then the rest is common. No reason why you can’t install R12 service ports if you are committed to running R12 and you can find it long term. 

 

What about running a hydrocarbon based refrigerant? Lower system pressure, nearly as efficient as R12.

Charging my AC with RedTek. HC based refrigerant. Works with R12 fittings. Doesn't matter what compressor oil you decide to use.  I will let you guys know how it comes out. 

Cheers!

I think it’s r134 because it’s a brand new evaporator that says it’s r134

Well, that may be referring to the expansion valve that comes with it. Nothing else special about the rest of the evaporator.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
