What is the method for measuring air conditioning pressure with a pressure gauge?

To measure air conditioning pressure with a pressure gauge, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the pressure gauge switch and connect the hoses to the service valve connectors on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. 2. Observe the two rows of circular numbers on the dial, which are color-coded in red and blue. 3. When an air conditioner using Freon 22 is operating in cooling mode, with an ambient temperature between 25 to 45 degrees Celsius, the pressure should be between 0.45 to 0.6 MPa. 4. The scale on the gauge indicates pressure, allowing you to determine the compressor's discharge pressure and suction pressure. The working principle of a car air conditioner is: the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid, which then dissipates heat through the air conditioner's cooling plate to become a medium-temperature, low-pressure liquid. This liquid then passes through the expansion valve, where it is throttled into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas.
