Nissens Chemicals in the A/C Oil and How Do They Affect the A/C Performance
2021-05-25 12:00 - 13:00
Over the years due to the downsizing of the AC systems (fuel efficiency). The chemical side of the Automotive Industry AC has become crucial to a fully functioning AC system. We have to remember that the chemicals you add to an AC system will have an effect on the functionality. Good or bad.
So it this training class we will take a closer look at the current and new refrigerants that have turned up over the last 5-10 years, the addition of new oil to accommodate new AC systems and refrigerants, does it matter which oil is being used, can we use as much UV dye as we want, can Leak Stop be used and should it be used.
These are all chemicals that we currently see in the market today and have to be aware of the effect once entered into an AC system.
