The current industry standard for heavy equipment ac diagnostics and leak detection involves vacuuming down the refrigerant in your vehicle AC System. Then injecting oil & dye into the system hoping to "sniff out" or expose the refrigerant or freon leak with a blacklight when the AC system is repressurized.
Having identified the larger, easier to locate leaks in the vehicles AC system parts are ordered and repaired. Hours, days, or perhaps a few weeks later the AC system stops working properly again due to the fact that the smaller leaks in the system were not identified.
What does this mean for you?
Maybe the mechanic gets lucky and discovers the problem the first time. More often it means taking your equipment out of service once, twice, or more usually during the hottest times of the year. It may not be the mechanics fault. They are just using a leak detection system designed in the 1950's and it has not been redesigned or improved until now.

Most often this issue is caused by an ac refrigerant leak (R12, R134a). Your heavy equipment relies heavily on the refrigerant to cool the vehicle. Without sufficient ac refrigerant, the other ac components will be unable to function. A vehicles AC system leak can occur at any time but most often it is due to a hole in a connection, ac hoses, ac compressor, ac condenser, or a ruptured ac evaporator. Unlike an oil leak, unfortunately, refrigerant leaks are difficult to identify. This is because your vehicles ac refrigerant is meant to evaporate when exposed to the environment.
Solution: A Kool2U certified ac repair specialist will need to vacuum down your vehicles AC system, add a fluorescent leak tracer dye, and recharge the system. Once added, your auto ac repair technician will run the car ac and using a Kool2U's Proprietary heavy equipment low & high pressure Leak Detection test. Your AC Repair Technician will then be able to identify the source of the leak or leaks in your vehicles ac system. Dependent on what they discovers it can either be repaired immediately or parts will need to be ordered and repair scheduled.
This issue isn’t as clear cut as hot air coming through the vents. A Kool2U Certified ac repair technician will need to eliminate the possible causes by checking several components first. The vehicles ac repair technician may begin checking for:
-
A blown fuse or bad relay – If the ventilation fuse blows there will be no power to the ac blower motor preventing air from blowing through the vents. Likewise, a bad ac relay can also be the culprit since the relay takes the small electrical current and uses it to regulate the larger current needed for ventilation.
-
Damage to the vehicles ac blower motor or blower resistor – The ac blower motor is what pushes the air through the vents in the vehicle, similar to a fan in your home. heavy equipment's AC Blower motors that have malfunctioned due to wear or age will prevent air from coming through the vents. Similarly, the ac blower resistor works with the ac blower motor to control the level of how much air is produced to flow through the vents (low, medium, high) based on your preference.
-
Blocked air intake – Heavy Equipment AC systems have two areas where air enters your vehicles ac. One is where air enters your equipment's ac is through vents by the lower half of the windshield and the other is the air that is recirculated from inside the cabin. If either of the ac air intake areas is blocked from a clogged filter or other debris, your vehicles ac vents may blow little to no air.
-
Damaged belts and hoses – An auto AC system is equipped with many ac hoses and belts that operate your cars ac system. Any sort of ac leak, detachment, or blockages will prevent proper airflow from your cars ac vents.
Most often this issue is due to low ac refrigerant. When there is not enough ac refrigerant (Freon) in the system the pressure is reduced which prevents the clutch from triggering the ac compressor to begin its cycle. If enough ac refrigerant is in the system it could also be caused by:
-
Blocked or Failed Condenser – Your equipment's ac condenser is the device that takes the ac refrigerant from its gaseous state by removing the heat and transforming it back into a liquid state. If your vehicles ac condenser has a blockage or is otherwise damaged, the air coming through the vents will not be cold.
-
Failed Clutch Switch – If this component is not functioning, the ac compressor will be unable to operate, thus preventing it from condensing the liquid refrigerant into gas.
When you turn on your vehicles ac & an noxious smell of mildew or vinegar hits your nostrils, it’s because of the growth of bacteria in your equipment's ac system. This is common with vehicles that seldom use the AC system or have not been used for long periods of time Or frequent use the maximum ac setting may cause Bacteria, mold, fungi, and other micro-organisms may develop behind the dashboard on your equipment's ac evaporator. This growth produces a foul odor that comes out of the vents.
Solution: Vehicles AC Air filters can collect dirt, water, dust, and other pollutants and after some time producing an odor. Replacing your vehicles ac air filter will help combat this issue. If replacing the filter does not eradicate the stench, a Kool2U AC Repair technician will need to add an anti-bacterial solution into your vehicles ac evaporator area to kill mold and other contaminants from the ac system.
Anytime your equipment's AC makes a noise that wasn’t there before could be a sign of trouble. Vehicle AC systems are relatively quiet when in use. When you turn on your equipment's ac and hear rattling, banging, or other unusual sounds, it’s normal to feel a bit nervous about what is causing the issue. It could be as simple as leaves or other road debris blocking the ac system producing all sorts of unusual noises. It could also indicate a major component of your equipment's ac could be in failure and in need of repair. If a bearing is worn out your vehicles ac it will produce a grinding or squealing sound. A rattling sound could indicate your vehicles ac compressor’s clutch has failed.
Solution: Continuing to use your equipment's air conditioning system may only make things worse. Call Kool2U's Mobile AC Repair Specialists to perform a thorough inspection. A thorough inspection your vehicles ac will be able to determine if a major component is in failure and whether your equipment's ac will need to be repaired.
Bacteria builds up on your equipment's ac evaporator coil in the AC heater box located under your dashboard. The bacteria from airflow mixes with the condensation from the vehicles ac coils, creating a slimy film on the AC fins and producing a moldy smell. After time, the film builds up and can clog the drain line. The drain line is a rubber hose that begins in the ac evaporator heater box, goes through the floor, and to the undercarriage to remove excess moisture. Once plugged, water from the condensation fills up the ac heater box and begins dripping out and onto the floor of the vehicle, typically on the passenger side.
Solution: If you notice the floor of your automobile is damp, don’t hesitate in contacting Kool2U Mobile AC Repair and schedule an appointment with one of our Heavy Equipment AC Repair Specialists. A Kool2U AC technician will need to determine what has caused the drain line to become clogged and repair or replace the hose as necessary.
When you’re driving your heavy Equipment and the ac suddenly goes from comfortably cool to horribly hot, you know there’s a problem with your vehicles ac system. It’s possible that the ac expansion valve that dispenses the correct amount of ac refrigerant to the ac evaporator has failed. A blocked ac expansion valve prevents the refrigerant from reaching the ac evaporator and if moisture is present causing the ac valve to freeze.
Solution: Your vehicles ac should be cold. If it’s not a Kool2U certified ac repair technician will need to properly test the ac system’s pressure and inspect components for blockages or malfunctions.
No matter what symptoms your heavy equipment's ac may be experiencing, a certified Kool2U auto ac repair specialist knows how to properly diagnose your vehicle and how to properly repair its ac system to properly function.
