Air Conditioning System

General safety information and caution

Instructions

1.	R-134a liquid refrigerant is highly volatile. A drop on the skin of your hand could result in localized frostbite. When handling the refrigerant, be sure to wear gloves.

2.	It is standard practice to wear goggles or glasses to protect your eyes, and gloves to protect your hands. If the refrigerant splashes into your eyes, wash them with clean water immediately.

3.	The R-134a container is highly pressurized. Never leave it in a hot place, and check storage temperature is below 52°C (126°F).

4.	An electronic leak detector should be used to check the system for refrigerant leakage. Bear in mind that the R-134a, upon coming into contact with flame, produces phosgene, a highly toxic gas.

5.	Use only recommended lubricant for R-134a systems. If lubricants other than the recommended one used, system failure may occur.

6.

PAG lubricant absorbs moisture from the atmosphere at a rapid rate, therefore the following precautions must be observed: – When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, cap the components immediately to prevent entry of moisture. – When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the cap until just before connecting the components. – Complete the connection of all refrigerant tubes and hoses without delay to prevent the A/C system from taking on moisture. – Use the recommended lubricant from a sealed container only.

7.	If an accidental discharge in the system occurs, ventilate the work area before resum of service.

1.	Never open or loosen a connection before discharging the system.

2.	Seal the open fittings of components with a cap or plug immediately to prevent intrusion of moisture or dust.

3.	Do not remove the sealing caps from a Replacement component until it is ready to be installed.

4.	Before connecting an open fitting, always install a new sealing ring. Coat the fitting and seal with refrigerant oil before making the connection.

• T means tensile intensity, which is stamped on the head of bolt only numeral.

1.	When it is necessary to open the refrigeration system, have everything you will need to service the system ready so the system will not be left open any longer than necessary.

2.	Cap or plug all lines and fittings as soon as they are opened to prevent the entrance of dirt and moisture.

3.	All lines and components in parts stock should be capped or sealed until they are ready to be used.

4.	Never attempt to rebind formed lines to fit. Use the correct line for the installation you are servicing.

5.	All tools, including the refrigerant dispensing manifold, the gauge set manifold and test hoses, should be kept clean and dry.

Refrigeration Cycle

Repair procedures

Refrigerant System Service Basics

– Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat. – Be careful when connecting service equipment. – Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

1.	Connect an R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high-pressure service port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

2.	Measure the amount of refrigerant oil removed from the A/C system after the recovery process is completed. Be sure to install the same amount of new refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before charging.

– Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat. – Be careful when connecting service equipment. – Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

1.

When an A/C System has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during installation or repair, it must be evacuated using an R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System. (If the system has been open for several days, the receiver/dryer should be replaced, and the system should be evacuated for several hours.)

2.	Connect an R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high-pressure service port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

3.	If the low-pressure does not reach more than 93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 10 minutes, there is probably a leak in the system. Partially charge the system, and check for leaks (see Leak Test.).

4.	Remove the low pressure valve from the low-pressure service port.

– Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat. – Be careful when connecting service equipment. – Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

1.	Connect an R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high-pressure service port (B) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

2.	Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to system that was removed during recovery. Use only specified refrigerant oil. Charge the system with 13.05 ± 0.88oz. (370 ± 25g) of R-134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the system the compressor will be damaged.

In order to use the leak detector properly, read the manual supplied by the manufacturer.

1.	Check the torque on the connection fittings and, if too loose, tighten to the proper torque. Check for gas leakage with a leak detector (A).

2.	If leakage continues even after the fitting has been tightened, discharge the refrigerant from the system, disconnect the fittings, and check their seating faces for damage. Always replace, even if the damage is slight.

3.	Check the compressor oil and add oil if required.

4.	Charge the system and recheck for gas leaks. If no leaks are found, evacuate and charge the system again.

Repair procedures

Oil Specification

1.	The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.

2.	Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of compressor.

1.	The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.

2.	Do not mix with other oil.

3.	The water content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.)

4.	The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.

Oil total volume in system PAG OIL : 100 ± 10 g

1.	Open all the doors and the engine hood.

2.	Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON" and set the blower motor control knob at its highest position.

3.	Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.

4.	Stop the engine.

Component parts to be installed	Amount of Oil
Evaporator	50 g (1.70 fl.oz)
Condenser	30 g (1.02 fl.oz)
Receiver/dryer	30 g (1.02 fl.oz)
Refrigerant line (One piece)	10 g (0.34 fl.oz)

Even if no oil is drained from the removed compressor, don’t drain more than 50cc from new compressor.

2.

Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items. – When installing a new compressor, drain all the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor and measure its volume. Subtract the volume of drained oil from the original capacity to calculate the amount of compressor oil that needs to be drained from the new compressor (through the suction fitting). – Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage. – To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils. – Immediately after using the oil, replace the cap on the container and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.

Inspection

1.	Check the plated parts of the limiter & hub assembly (A) for color changes, peeling or other damage. If there is damage, replace the assembly.
