[DeTomaso] When to change the AC dryer?

How long had the previous one been on there?

When I recently reinstalled my A/C system I put in a new drier and put a can of R134 in the system. I heard a hissing sound and found a pinhole in one of the hoses. Took the hose off to a good A/C place, they made me a new one, and I came home and installed it.  Maybe an hour of atmosphere exposure, weather was typical So Calif warm and dry. No, I did not buy another drier.

What was the humidity like in Spain while the system was apart?
But I suppose technically you should replace it regardless

So what you are saying is that if it's been open for 6 weeks, I should
robably replace it - vacuum won't cut it!
Thanks!

Yes it would be nice to replace it but if you can not, a day would be max in
y book. I would cap any open lines the second they are opened. I would also
ull a 29-30 vacuum for "hours" to get any moisture that may have gotten in
ucked out.

It should be replaced pretty much everytime the system is opened.
onsider it a disposable. IIRC the cost for the dryer was neglectable
ompared to the cost of filling the system.

How long can the system be open before the dryer needs to be changed? A
ay,
 month? 

Thanks as always!
