What Causes the Car Air Conditioner to Hold Pressure but Fail to Complete Vacuum Extraction?
1 Answers
Car air conditioner failing to complete vacuum extraction despite holding pressure may result from the following causes: 1. Ground leakage: Air leakage at the grounding point during vacuum extraction, loose connections, or a malfunctioning vacuum pump. 2. Pipe damage: Cracks or ruptures in the air conditioner's vacuum pipes can lead to this issue. 3. Poor sealing: Gasket leaks or ruptured sealing rings that hold positive pressure but leak under negative pressure is another contributing factor. Additional information: Incomplete extraction leaves moisture and non-condensable gases inside, severely damaging the AC system. Lubricating oil reacting with moisture forms acids that corrode internal components, shortening the system's lifespan. It also disrupts normal refrigerant flow.
