Charging Refrigeration System

Charging a refrigeration system means adding or replacing refrigerant in a system. Refrigerants are never used up. It either leaks out or is contaminated by water, acid, or non-condensable gases. Need a price to recharge your refrigerator with a refrigerant, freon R134a or R600a? Spark Service PRO provide multipoint sealed system diagnoses and fixes refrigerators that are not cooling enough by recharging the refrigerant.

This issue usually begins when your fresh food compartment or freezer section blows warm air or the compressor makes a humming noise. Slow leaks can cause refrigerant levels to drop over time, requiring a system recharge or the replacement of some refrigerator parts.

Residential Refrigerant Comparison

Refrigerant Type Common Name Characteristics Refrigerator Type Brands
R134a 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane Non-toxic and non-flammable refrigerants are widely used in household refrigerators and automotive air conditioning systems. They are environmentally friendly compared to older refrigerants like R12. Standard Refrigerators Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, etc.
R600a Isobutane Highly flammable refrigerants are used in small domestic refrigerators, freezers, and some commercial appliances. – Has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than many other refrigerants. Compact Refrigerators Danby, Haier, Summit, etc.
R410A None Non-flammable and non-toxic refrigerants are used in many modern residential air conditioning systems due to their high efficiency and lower environmental impact. Split Refrigeration Systems Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Daikin, etc.
R290 Propane Highly flammable refrigerants are used as a natural refrigerant in some household refrigerators, particularly in environmentally conscious designs. Eco-Friendly Refrigerators Hisense, Midea, Beko, etc.

Please note that the availability of these refrigerants in specific refrigerator models may vary by region and over time, and new refrigerants and technologies are continually emerging in the residential refrigerator market.

What are the Refrigeration System Charging Methods?

  • Weighing: using scales to check the amount added
  • Measuring: using a dial-a-charge cylinder
  • Superheat and Subcooling: most accurate; combine with weighing in the charge; allow the system to run for 10 min before taking readings
  • Sight Glass: never used to check the charge, not accurate and varies based on the system conditions
  • Amperage or wattage: not accurate; do not use unless you have no other options

States of Refrigerant Charging

A refrigerant can be charged as a:

  • Vapour entails taking the vapour refrigerant out of a refrigerant drum and putting it into the low side of the system. If the system is not operating, vapour can be added to both the low and high sides of the system until the pressures equalize. The main advantage is that it is the easiest way of adding refrigerant to top off a running system. However, some disadvantages exist: a slow process for adding large quantities, high drum pressures can force oil out of the compressor, and blended refrigerants may fractionate.
  • Liquid charging entails adding a refrigerant in the liquid state into a system. In a non-operating system, you can add liquid refrigerant through the king valve on the receiver; in an operating system, technicians can front-seat the king valve (charging through the low side). Liquid charging is the fastest and most convenient method. If we talk about disadvantages, you should remember that the system must be turned off, and it can easily overcharge.

The Main Troubleshooting the Customer May Face

    1. A low charge can lead to insufficient cooling (low capacity), long running time and high operating costs; as a result, evaporator icing up, superheating higher than usual, compressor temperature will be higher as well, and low wattage.
    2. Overcharging will cause high suction pressure and high discharge pressure, compressor sweating all over, and as a result, flooding (liquid in a compressor) and high wattage.

Our technician Oleg was great. He was on time and even called before his arrival. He was able to diagnosis the problem and make the repairs all in one visit which was very appreciated. He not only fixed the problems, but talked me through what was wrong and how it needed to be repaired. He also spent time to show me how to properly maintain the dryer myself. He was very tidy leaving no mess behind. I would highly recommend Fix Appliances to anyone.

FAQ: Charging Refrigeration System

The refrigerant charging in the Refrigeration system or AC system is done because the refrigeration effect in it causes a decrease in refrigerant due to gas leakage. The leak must be detected and rectified in the refrigeration system before the refrigerant is charged
Most homeowners will pay in the range of $200 to $400 for a refill, depending on the type and size of their refrigerator unit. If you own a larger Subzero fridge, you may have to spend $500 or more.
While R-12 was once the go-to choice for residential/domestic refrigeration systems, Freon R-134a refrigerant is now most commonly used. Its versatility allows it to work in home systems ranging from small under-the-counter refrigerators to family-sized refrigeration/freezer systems with multiple cooling compartments
