What to Do If the Car Air Conditioning Pipe Leaks Refrigerant?

[DiSkylar]

If the car air conditioning pipe leaks refrigerant, the first step is to inject some fluorescent dye into the pipeline to locate the exact point of the leak. Once the leak is identified, welding can be used to repair cracks or pinholes in the air conditioning pipe. If certain sections cannot be repaired, they must be replaced with new pipes, followed by recharging the system with fresh refrigerant. The reasons for refrigerant leakage in car air conditioning systems are as follows: 1. Corrosion of pipeline seals, condensers, or evaporators. 2. Overheating of the compressor, which melts the seals at the connection points with the compressor. 3. Improper installation of the flare fitting and shut-off valve. 4. Inadequate sealing during the reinstallation of components when replacing parts of the refrigeration system, leading to potential refrigerant leakage points in the pipeline and refrigeration system.
