What psi is the freon supposed to be charged at?

Thanks,

PS anyone know of a way to get birds away....it never fails a few hours after its washed they crap on it or with in 2 days it rains....always.


The ac is charged on the low pressure side (which is up to about 40 psi) with a gas from the can, while the compressor is running. If you charge a liquid to the low pressure side and a liquid reaches the compressor, uh-oh. The high pressure side will be up to about 240 and a can will not put juice into that pressure. The can may get overfilled by this situation, uh-oh.

Birds-Do not park under bird sitting areas (wires, trees, light poles)

Rain in 2 days-Move to the central valley of calif, no rain May-Oct, cars stay clean for months.
