Any AC experts here?
Any AC experts here? Just curious if there is any ill effects to leave a system open for long periods of time? IE: Rotting o-rings, etc...
I discharged the AC back in August when I first pulled the motor apart, and it's been sitting open ever since. The car has not ran however. Just curious..

Re: Any AC experts here? you wil have to change the dryer and vacume the sys down and leave it there for a little while to get all the moisture out of it, dont forget to add oil when you change the dryer. if you were to try to charge it now the dryer would most likely clog your compressor and orifice tube and send debris throuh the whole sys. then it gets expensive!! good luck and hope this helps, jeff

Re: Any AC experts here? Hey Josh, I have everything needed to vac/recharge your system when your ready. I know you will replace the dryer etc, but bring it by the shop when you want to recharge it. No charge.
Re: Any AC experts here? Also not good to leave open for extended periods because the refrigrant oil (pag oil) is hydroscopic, it absorbes moisture. Not easy to change the oil in the a/c system. I'd recommend a long vacuum of at least an hour left on system before charging.
