Car AC gas refill

Your car’s air-conditioning system is an important component whose purpose is to ensure thermal comfort inside the car. However, in order to enjoy its long-term efficient operation, you need to remember about regular maintenance.

First of all, take care of replacing the cabin air filter that removes dust, pollen and other contaminants from the air supplied into the cabin. It is recommended to replace this part at least once a year or every 15,000 km. If you use your car under harsh conditions, such as city driving or driving in countries with polluted air, you should replace the cabin air filter more frequently.

Another important part of the air-conditioning system is the refrigerant, the so-called A/C gas, which you should refill once a year or every 20,000 km. You need to regularly check its level because insufficient volume of gas in the car A/C system can result in decreased output of the system, leading to the damage to the compressor. You can fill the gas in your car A/C system on your own, using our car A/C filling kit.

Maintenance of the air-conditioning system should also include checking the system for leaks and repairing them, if needed. A leak can result in the loss of the refrigerant, which in turn can cause the system efficiency to drop and cause damage to the compressor. In case of a minor leak, we recommend using a car A/C gas filling kit with a sealant.

Briefly stated, maintenance of the air-conditioning system is important in order to ensure its efficient operation, avoid damage and failures of the A/C system, and ensure thermal comfort inside your car. Filling your A/C gas filling at home and using an A/C sealing kit will allow you to keep the system operating and efficient for a long time.

We have designed our products with simplicity and user-friendliness in mind. You just need to take a few simple steps in order to ensure correct operation of your car A/C system, and the whole procedure should only take a couple of minutes.

In order to refill your car’s A/C gas you need to:

1. Find the low pressure valve. It is usually located near the air-conditioning system compressor.
2. Once you find the valve, just connect the hose from the car’s A/C gas bottle or the car’s A/C sealant bottle, as needed.
3. Then use the EasyKlima pressure gauge. On the dial of the pressure gauge the green colour marks the required pressure to be achieved. Filling the A/C gas to the correct pressure level ensures that the system operates in an optimum way and efficiently cools down the interior of your car.

The entire procedure can be completed in just a couple of minutes. Our EasyKlima products have been designed so as to provide quick and efficient maintenance of your car’s A/C system. This makes it possible for our customers to fill the A/C gas on their own and ensure thermal comfort in their cars without going to a garage.

An added benefit of our EasyKlima products is their high efficiency. Regardless of whether you use an A/C gas refill or an A/C sealant, you can be sure that our products are effective and help in maintaining the correct output of the A/C system.

In addition, our products are easy to use even for people with no experience in terms of car mechanics. Clear instructions allow you to quickly and easily refill your A/C system. In case of any doubts, you can always contact our customer service department, who will gladly assist you and provide with the necessary information.

Please note that taking care of the air-conditioning system is not a one-off action. Regular inspections, replacement of the cabin air filter and filling the car’s A/C gas are key actions to keep the performance of the system at optimum level. Our EasyKlima products are a great help in these actions.

The duration for which the air-conditioning system in a car will last can vary depending on several factors. There are many variables that can affect the performance and efficiency of the car’s A/C system. Below you will find some examples to consider:

• Weather conditions: The environment in which you use your air-conditioning system is very important. When driving in a hot and humid climate, the A/C system might be more strained and could last a shorter time than when driving in a cooler environment.
• Air conditioning use: The frequency and duration of your use of the air-conditioning system may affect is durability. If you use it for long hours, every day, it may shorten its lifespan.
• Technical condition: Regular maintenance operations, such as cleaning air filters and checking the refrigerant level, may affect the performance of the A/C system. If you keep your car in good working order, the air-conditioning system will be more efficient, which will enable longer operation.
• Refrigerant quality: Using a high quality gas in your car’s A/C and refilling or renewing it regularly may affect the performance of the A/C system. A low level of A/C gas can shorten the lifespan of the system.

Depending on the above factors, the car air-conditioning system can lastfrom a few to several years. Regular servicing and maintenance of the air-conditioning system are important to ensure its optimal operation. If you have any doubts regarding the performance of the A/C system in your car, we recommend consulting an expert or a car garage that can evaluate the condition and performance of the A/C system.

A reduced level of refrigerant in the air-conditioning system can lead to reduced cooling efficiency or even cause the compressor to shut down. This is mostly caused by minor or major leaks that can occur over time with normal wear and tear of the car.

In order to keep the refrigerant in the A/C system at the correct level, it is recommended to first of all regularly check the pressure in the A/C system, preferably once a year. The preferred pressure is marked in green on the EasyKlima pressure gauge.

If the pressure is lower (white range marked ‘LOW’ on the EasyKlima pressure gauge), the first step should be to use the EasyKlima – LeakStop air-conditioning sealant kit in order to seal any leaks.

This product also contains a small amount of the A/C gas for refilling which should solve the problem. However, if the leakage of the refrigerant is so significant, that the volume of the refill is insufficient, then we recommend using a car A/C filling kit.

Please remember observe this sequence of using the EasyKlima products.First use the A/C system sealant and then, if needed or in order to boost the long-lasting effect, you can use the car A/C gas.This procedure will durably solve the problem with leakage.

Ensuring a correct level of refrigerant in the air-conditioning system is crucial to ensure its proper operation. With regular inspections and with the use of suitable products you can avoid problems related to cooling and performance of a full-size air-conditioning system in your car. Please remember about regular maintenance of the air-conditioning system in order to enjoy a comfortable ride in a cool cabin.

No air flow from the car’s A/C system does not necessarily mean that the system itself is defective. There are several factors that can stop the air flow. Below you will find some possible causes:

• Fuse or relay: If there is no air flow, you should check the fuse or relay supporting the ventilation and air-conditioning system. Any damage can prevent the ventilation from operating correctly.
• Lack of refrigerant: A low level of refrigerant (car A/C gas) in the system can prevent it from operating. In such a case, an A/C gas refill needs to be used. You can refill the A/C system on your own, using a car A/C filling kit that includes the A/C gas refill and all the necessary tools such as a hose with pressure gauge, retrofit or HP/LP adapters.
• Damaged control panel: In same cases the fact that there is no air flow can be caused by problems associated with the control panel that governs the ventilation and air-conditioning system. If the control panel is damaged, it might need to be repaired or replaced.
• The lack of air flow can be also caused by a damage to part of the fan, which is independent from the A/C system.
• Damaged blower motor: This can prevent the air from being blown in. In such a case, diagnosis is necessary with a possible repair or replacement of the blower motor.
• Damaged flow switch: The flow switch controls the operation of the blower and its settings (e.g., flow to the front and rear seats, flow to the footwell, etc.). If damaged, it may be necessary to repair or replace the switch.
• Electrical failure or problem associated with cables: Faulty electrical connections, cable damage or other issues related to the electrical system can result in no power supply to the blower, which in turns leads to poor air flow.

The correct pressure in car A/C system may vary depending on the car model and manufacturer’s specifications. However, there is a certain pressure rangethat is considered to be adequate. Below you will find general guidelines on the correct pressure in the car air-conditioning system:

• Pressure on the low side (aspiration): It usually ranges between 25 and 45 psi (170–310 kPa) for systems working with R134a refrigerant. For systems running on the older R12 refrigerant (usually used in older cars), the pressure can range from 30 to 40 psi (210–280 kPa). These values may slightly differ depending on the weather conditions.
• Pressure on the high side (increase): It usually ranges between 150 and 250 psi (1030–1720 kPa) for R134a systems. For R12 systems, the pressure on the high side can range from 175 to 250 psi (1200–1720 kPa). These values can also change slightly depending on the circumstances.

It is important to remember that the above values are general guidelines only and do not constitute a fully reliable way of determining the correct pressure for a particular car. You always need to observe the car manufacturer’s specifications. We recommend reading the car user manual or contacting a professional service station in order to obtain detailed information on the correct pressure to have in the car’s A/C system.

When filling your car’s A/C gas on your own, you can check the correct pressure using the EasyKlima hose with a pressure gauge.. The correct A/C system pressure is marked in green. The hose is available in a car A/C sealing and filling kit or as a separate item.
