Why Removing AC Acid is a Must When Replacing AC/R Compressors

Read on to learn more about why acid formation occurs in AC/R systems and how you can effectively remove AC acid residue.
There are a few ways that acid forms in AC/R units and the result of acid buildup is corrosion and damage to sensitive parts of the system. Much of the time, the cause of the presence of acid in AC/R systems is a burnt-out compressor. While replacing the compressor can often save the system, you must also remove all traces of acid from the refrigerant for your repair to be successful in the long term.
