Subject:      A/C Performance in '91 GL
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

My '91 GL's A/C is not doing a great job since converting from R-12. Because there is little information in Bentley, perhaps some of the great people on the list can add a bit of data.

I have a thermometer in the ducting just in front of the driver to monitor the output air temperature. When running with all the outside vents closed, the A/C full cold and fan speed at 3, I can get about a 25F drop from the outside air. This means that at 85F outside I am getting 60F air in my face. I would like to have another 10F to be completely comfortable.

It seems the R-12 did a better job but, lacking data, I can not be certain.

BTW, what is ES-12? Has anyone used R-406a in a GL?

Thanks,
