I was checking my oil and I noticed that the A/C accumulator and a few lines/hoses seem to have condensation on them. Is this normal?

 

mine does that. sometimes my accumulator completely frosts over. i assume its normal.

 

if it ain't sweatin'...it ain't workin' !

 

Totally normal, my HP line has completely frosted over before.

 

Yeah buddy thats a good thing

 

That's what she said.


To the OP -- worst case, get some foam to wrap and insulate the lines and the accumulator.

 

If it ain't sweating it's either out of refrigerant or the compressor isn't working.
I've heard of people using that aluminum heat tape and taping the accumulator and the lines and their a/c worked better.

 

I see no deathflash sticker on yer comp either


also a good thing

 

I wonder if there's any way to gain some benefit to that wasted cold air? Perhaps sleeve it and run the intake air thru the sleeve, or perhaps run a metal fuel line wrapped around it several times to cool the fuel charge? Might get you back a bit of the power lost to running the AC unit...

 

bout as normal as you can get in the hot, humid south
