A/C Flush Procedure 900

posted by  someone claiming to be 960 Brickster on  Wed Aug 11 14:02 CST 2010 [RELATED]

I am moving ahead with a near complete rebuild of the a/c on my 95 960. There is a new evaporator, compressor, accumulator, and orifice valve, all Volvo or Volvo OEM. I plan to leave the existing condenser as the sniffer did not find leaks in or around it.

I want to be 100% sure not crud is left in the system, but not sure how best to do this. I plan to blow compressed air through the hoses, but I am not sure how to clear the condenser or other lines out. Should it be removed and blown out? Is there a solvent or fluid I should flush with and if so how is the best way?

I will be doing this over the weekend so ideas appreciated here.
