Title: MC 8 Air Conditioning Condensor Leak Test
Post by: DEMOMAN on August 28, 2012, 02:15:56 PM
Hello All,

     I have a 1978 MC 8.  I have chosen to go with rooftop air so I am in the process of taking out the factory air conditioning.  There seems to be a few newer parts to the system so I will probably try to sell them here. 

     I would like to leak/ pressure test the condensor to find out if it leaks but I don't know what kind of pressures the coach air runs.  Does anyone have any experience with this or have a clue where to find this specification?

Thanks,

DEMOMAN  ???

Hi Demoman,

You can also easily have someone put a vacuum pump on the system. It needs to be

pumped down to a 28inch Vacuum and hold for 24 hours. If so, all will be good!

Hope this helps
