The extra will give you a little more capacity in extremely hot conditions (idling in traffic, for instance) by allowing some liquid refrigerant in the system with slow compressor speed. It's also a buffer against the normal very small losses of refrigerant inherent in an automotive system. __

The clear sight glass was _only_ an R12 thing. If your system is fully charged and not deficient in airflow (dirt, leaves, bad fans), your only option is to use a refrigerant that is _more_ efficient than R134a. Such as one of the hydrocarbon blends. -- Jim __

AC in the E300D is decent, but not “ICE COLD”. At stop lights or at idle it blows cold, but not icy cold like it does when the car gets moving. It is a native R134a system, not a conversion. Pressures are pretty much on the spot for ambient temperature and humidity. so I have to believe it’s a

In commercial building HVAC, you are required to fix when the leak gets worse than 25lb of R22 a year. Not sure what the requirements are for R410a, or for R134a in cars. I think charging is OK but deliberately venting instead of recovering is a $10k fine. Mitch. > On October 22, 2016 at 6:51
