What port do you charge AC?
low side port
The low side port, or the low-pressure service port, is important because it’s the point where you connect to recharge the AC refrigerant.
Do you need a AC cap?
All AC and heat pump capacitors fail eventually. Capacitors are one of the most common parts that need to be replaced on residential air conditioning systems. They typically provide several years of service, but you’ll need to replace them at least once if you keep the same air conditioner for more than ten years.
What kind of Charger do I need for my Volvo?
Our Plug-in Hybrids come with a charging cable which you can use to connect to household power for lightweight charging duty. The car can also be connected to the charging cables present at AC charging points and charging stations. For AC charging points without charging cables, you can complement with a separate cable for that purpose.
Is there a high pressure service valve on a Volvo 240?
Some will have blocking plugs in those ports or no ports at all. In most later 240s it is common to find NO HIGH PRESSURE SERVICE VALVE. Here’s a comprehensive WIRING DIAGRAM for this later (1991-93) 240 AC syst em (Orifice Tube). CLICK BELOW IMAGE for larger photo. R12 refrigerant was used in all 240s through 1992.
What kind of AC does a 1984 Volvo 240 have?
Over the years I have done a lot of experiments on my 1984 242 AC. Some have responded fairly well, but none would seem to work like a real modern AC system is supposed to. Beginning in 2010 I made a serious attempt at using PROPANE as a refrigerant after a suggestion by another 240 owner I knew who had claimed to be successful.
What kind of fittings does a Volvo 240 use?
All 240s used SAE fittings in their AC systems (with one exception). So this means that if you’re repairing or making any new hoses, you’ll need fittings with standard or SAE thread, not metric. There is ONE exception. The 1993 (one year only) 240 reportedly used an accumulator/drier with metric thread fittings.
