What should the suction pressure be on a 134a refrigerant?
What should the suction pressure be on a 134a refrigerant?
between 22 and 57 pounds per square inch
As an air-conditioning refrigerant in newer automobiles, the optimal running pressure for R134A is between 22 and 57 pounds per square inch.

What is the vapor pressure of R134a?
Although the vapor pressure of Freon™ 134a is almost the same as that of CFC-12 at 70 °F (20 °C), its vapor pressure at 130 °F (54 °C) exceeds the pressure limit of a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) 2Q aerosol container by about 1 atmosphere, i.e., 19 psi.
What PSI should I recharge my AC to?
LOW pressure gauge: When the reading is between 25 and 40 psi with the A/C running, STOP. The system is fully charged and should be cooling normally. DO NOT add any more refrigerant. If the gauge is over 50 psi, you have overcharged the system with too much refrigerant.
What should AC pressure be with engine on?
What are normal AC gauge pressures when the system is running? Generally speaking, you want around 27-psi on the low side and 200 on the high side.
