43. The pictures show the Diagnosis of the Air conditioning (A/C) system using the Manifold Gauge,
select the statement which is incorrect.

a. Insufficient refrigerant amount.

If the refrigerant amount is insufficient, the gauge pressure for both the

low-pressure and high-pressure side will show as being lower than the

normal value.

b. Moisture in refrigeration cycle.

When moisture enters in the system, the gauge pressure is normal at the

start of the A/C operation. After a period, the low-pressure gauge

side gradually indicates a vacuum pressure. After several seconds to several

minutes, the gauge pressure is restored to a normal value. This cycle is

repeated.

When a compression defect occurs in the compressor, the gauge pressure

at the low-pressure side is lower than the normal value. The gauge pressure

at the high-pressure side is higher than the normal value.

When air infiltrates the refrigeration cycle, the gauge pressure at both the

low-pressure and high-pressure side is higher than the normal value.
