Systematic troubleshooting and diagnostics of; airflow problems, refrigerant cycle malfunctions, suction and liquid line restrictions, oil logged evaporator, undercharge, overcharge, compressor inefficiencies, dirty condenser, air in the system, restricted metering device, and low and high condenser entering air temperatures are detailed.

Systematic diagnosis of the above listed problems using service checklists to assist the service technician to quickly and efficiently troubleshoot a system is explained.

Basic and advanced leak detection covering the following six classes of leaks are detailed;

standing leaks
pressure dependant leaks
temperature dependant leaks
vibration dependant leaks
combination dependant leaks
cumulative micro leaks

Testing procedures for evaporator leaks, condenser leaks, suction and liquid line leaks are all thoroughly explained. Advanced leak detection and modern leak detectors are also included and explained in detail.

System evacuation, deep vacuums, micron gauges and scales, vacuum pumps, vacuum manifolds, system pressure drops, vacuum breaker valves, and gas ballasts are all explained as well as illustrated.
