With refrigerant gauges we read the pressures and measure the temperatures, without that we look at the amp draw and what the air temps are going in and out,
With a recovery/recycling machine.
Requires instruments and knowledge of the refrigeration cycle. Casual observation of a system, won't allow you to properly determine if it's overcharged.
maybe overcharged, or return air leaks (the hotter the return air the more the low side pressure)
If your air conditioner blows air but it's not cold air then you probably need freon in your air conditioner
Too much refrigerant can do it, yes. System pressures get extremely high on both sides of the AC system when it is overcharged.
The a/c compressor is bad, it's locked up internally; orThe system has been overcharged with refrigerant.
how do you know if the air conditioner in your car works in the winter
I assume that the smoke you experience hasn't burned your house down yet. The vapor that appears about 12" from the a/c is cold air from the air conditioner meeting the warm air in the room it is cooling, and the cold condenses water vapor out of the hot air, just like a cloud. So it may be steam you're seeing -- not smoke. It should go away after the room cools down a little. If this is not the case, and it really is smoke in your room, then you need to turn off the air conditioner, then unplug it, and call a certified a/c technician. It's possible that someone may have overcharged the freon in that air conditioner.
You need to either get more air across the coil, or the AC is overcharged. A blocked air filter can reduce air flow and result in freezing refrigerant lines. As can an underspeed AC blower motor or a dirty blower cage.
Well, you can open it to find out. But mostly, you will know they are not working if the air conditioner blows hot air, or stops working all together.
feel it up
It is important to keep the air conditioner clean and know how to remove mold as it can reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner and also cause a foul smell . You should clean the condenser and the indoor unit.
