Zuchini AC recharge and repair   2012m07d01    Air conditioning

Zuchini SUV ( car truck automobile ) AC was weak or non-existent.  Was not working.
pump was cycling every 3 seconds   on -- off --- on --- off
Static pressure probably means nothing  it was 150 psi
When AC was running the pressure cycled between 40 psi and 20 psi  ( linked to pump cycling )
While running I added the can of refrigerant.  First I ran a little out to remove air from rubber tubing.
I wore safety glasses.
I did not open the penetrating valve more than a few turns.  I probably could have opened it more.
After 15 minutes the pump cycling period got longer and longer and then the pump stayed on all the time. ( AC was on )
The pressure stabilised at 45 psi when the pump was on.
The AC is now blowing cold air into the Zuchini.......

Refrigerant can got colder and colder as time went on.   I rocked the can from upright ( 12 o'clock ) to 3 o'clock position very few seconds.
