2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser: A/C Blows Warm?

Compressor replaced,but still A/C blows Warm.
The Low pressure reading is 70 and high pressure reading goes high up to 500.

The Troubleshooting solution in this types of problem:-----

When an A/C compressor is replaced due to an internal mechanical failure, it is also required to check, flush and/or replace other components such as : condenser, expansion valve, receiver-drier. It should be done as the old faulty compressor could have thrown some debris and shavings into the system.

If your compressor engages and the system is charged but there is no cold air, then check the A/C low presure line and see if it is cold.

In most of such cases expansion valve could be the most probable reason.

BUT please note on your car model.That is Chrysler PT cruiser Non-Turbo .......

It uses a variable orifice tube/valve instead of an expansion valve.

Working procedure and Location of this device:---

This device is used to meter the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator coil and it is factory installed into the high pressure liquid line that connects the condenser outlet to evaporator inlet.

It is located in the end of the liquid line that is closest to the condenser and serviced only as a liquid line assembly.

The inlet end of the orifice tube has a nylon mesh filter screen that appears to be blocked with debris from your old compressor based on the pressure information you provided.

Normal low pressure should be within 25-40 PSI and high pressure 150-300PSI ( depends on ambient temperature).

Your both readings are too high that indicates a restriction and no flow.

In this case i recommend you to have the condenser flushed or better replaced as it is the first item that receives output from the compressor and all debris usually are collected inside the condenser.

The A/C liquid line must be replaced.

Also get the other A/C parts and lines.

This details will help.

Thanks.

Recovery and Recharging AC Systems?

A/C REFRIGERANT SYSTEM OIL CHARGE REPLENISHING

The ACR 2000 Air Conditioning Service Center J 43600 is a complete air conditioning service center for R-134a. The ACR 2000 recovers, recycles, evacuates and recharges A/C refrigerant quickly, accurately and automatically. The unit has a display screen that contains the function controls and displays prompts that will lead the technician through the recover, recycle, evacuate and recharge operations. R-134a is recovered into and charged out of an internal storage vessel. The ACR 2000 automatically replenishes this vessel from an external source tank in order to maintain a constant 5.45-6.82 kg (12-15 lbs) of A/C refrigerant.

The ACR 2000 has a built in A/C refrigerant identifier that will test for contamination, prior to recovery and will notify the technician if there are foreign gases present in the A/C system. If foreign gases are present, the ACR 2000 will not recover the refrigerant from the A/C system.

The ACR 2000 also features automatic air purge, single pass recycling and an automatic oil drain.

Refer to the J 43600 ACR 2000 manual for operation and setup instruction. Always recharge the A/C System with the proper amount of R-134a.

A/C Refrigerant System Oil Charge Replenishing

If oil was removed from the A/C system during the recovery process or due to component replacement, the oil must be replenished. Oil can be injected into a charged system using A/C Oil Injector tool J 45037.
