I'm going to agree to dissagree let some lawyer sort it out yes half the system in your car as in storage r-12 and 134a are in a liquid form under pressure now crack a line and the liquid rapidly expands in to a gas in your car the gas is compressed and cooled to turn it into a liquid in the high pressure side and it goes in to the evaporator there is a nozzel or restriction in the line holding the excess pressure and bleading off enough pressure that the liquid expands in to a vapor causing a cooling effectthan the gas is routed back into the compressor and re compressed and liquified again. so what would you call it a liquid in it's stored state ot a gass in its natural state. Ha bet you all didn't know that some one in the arctic kenw any thing about a/c.
Touche dds
, I knew you were right as far as in the vehicles system , I used to charge my own ac thats how I know theres liquid in the can
. BTW I have never shot any cans of the r12 as that would probablly put me on Al Gores watchlist
I have a brother that lives in Skagway which I,m sure most of you would consider that being the tropics compared to what your used to . He lives right across from the little airport & allways telling me how miserablly cold & nasty it is there , Knowing theres 3 live webcams & I can see in real time what the actuall weather is as well as I can see what its doing . He still likes to pull my leg

I follow Ya,lls threads in the snocat sections & thats how I know what Extreme cold weather is really like
