Common Causes of Air Conditioner Acid

Detecting and neutralizing air conditioner acid can be a challenge, but the team at Cool Air Products has created a range of useful tools to support HVAC professionals every step of the way.

Acidic coolant is a major cause of corrosion and leaks in AC/R systems, and HVAC professionals must be on the lookout for any symptoms of air conditioner acid and the risk factors for its formation. When acidic fluids are suspected, HVAC technicians have to confirm the presence of acid, determine the cause, remove all acidic residues, and seal any holes in the system. This can be a challenge, but the team at Cool Air Products has created a range of useful tools to support HVAC professionals every step of the way!
