How to vacuum a car: Hot topics and technical analysis on the Internet in the past 10 days
With the popularization of automobile maintenance technology, vacuuming, as a key step in air conditioning system maintenance, has recently become a hot topic on the Internet. This article will combine the hot content of the past 10 days on the Internet to analyze the operation process of automobile vacuuming in detail, and attach a structured data comparison.
1. Hot topics in the automotive field across the Internet in the past 10 days

| Ranking | Topic keywords | search volume index | Related technologies |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | New energy vehicle maintenance | 58,200 | High voltage system protection |
| 2 | Air conditioner cooling effect is poor | 42,700 | Vacuum technology |
| 3 | Environmentally friendly alternative to refrigerants | 36,500 | R1234yf Application |
2. Analysis of the core steps of car vacuuming
1. Equipment preparation stage
| Device name | Specification requirements | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum pump | ≥3CFM flow | Requires special refrigeration oil |
| Manifold pressure gauge set | Double meter design | Regular calibration |
2. Operational procedures
(1) Connection equipment: Connect the high and low pressure hoses to the vehicle maintenance valve respectively, and the middle hose is connected to the vacuum pump.
(2) Vacuuming: Start the vacuum pump and observe that the pressure gauge drops below -30inHg for 15-30 minutes.
(3) Pressure holding test: Close the valve and let it sit for 10 minutes. If the pressure rises ≤2inHg, it is qualified.
3. Comparison of vacuuming parameters of different models
| Vehicle type | Recommended vacuum time | System volume (ml) | Vacuum degree standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| compact car | 15-20 minutes | 400-600 | ≥29inHg |
| SUV/MPV | 25-30 minutes | 800-1200 | ≥30inHg |
4. Solutions to common problems
Q: What should I do if the vacuuming is not complete?
A: Check the tightness of the pipeline and replace the O-ring; use a larger flow vacuum pump; vacuum in stages (first pump for 5 minutes, pause and then continue).
Q: Precautions for vacuuming in winter
A: When the ambient temperature is lower than 10°C, the liquid storage dryer needs to be preheated; the vacuum pump oil should be replaced with a winter-specific model.
5. Technology development trends
According to recent industry trends, smart vacuum equipment has begun to become popular, and new equipment can achieve:
| Technical characteristics | Traditional equipment | smart device |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum degree record | Manual recording | Automatically generate reports |
| Leak detection | Pressure holding test | Real-time monitoring |
This article combines the latest industry hot spots to analyze in detail the technical points of automotive vacuuming. Please strictly follow the vehicle maintenance manual during actual operation. It is recommended that professionals operate in standardized locations. With the promotion of new refrigerants such as R1234yf, the vacuuming process will face new technological upgrade requirements.
