HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING  REFRIGERANT  REPLACEMENT  


PROCEDURE

Hide 2.RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

a.

Start the engine.


b.

Operate the cooler compressor under the conditions shown below:

Item Condition
Operating time 3 minutes or more
Temperature setting Max cool
Blower speed High
Engine Idling
A/C switch On

This causes most of the compressor oil from the various components of the A/C system to collect in the A/C compressor.

HINT:

It is not necessary to operate the cooler compressor if the A/C does not operate because of the compressor.



c.

Stop the engine.


d.

Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system using a refrigerant recovery unit.

HINT:

Use the refrigerant recovery unit in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction manual.



Hide 3.CHARGE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT

a.

Perform vacuum purging using a vacuum pump or appropriate equipment.


b.

Charge the air conditioning system with refrigerant.

Refrigerant type:

HFC-134a (R134a)

NOTICE:
·

Make sure that the amount of refrigerant is within +/-50 g (+/-1.76 oz) or +/-30 g (+/-1.05 oz) of the specified amount.

·

Do not turn the A/C switch on before charging the air conditioning system with refrigerant. Doing so may cause the compressor to work without refrigerant, resulting in overheating of the compressor.

·

The refrigerant amount should be checked by quantity (weight).

·

The graph above is shown for reference only.



HINT:

Ensure that sufficient refrigerant is available to recharge the system when using a refrigerant recovery unit. Refrigerant recovery units are not always able to recover 100% of the refrigerant from an air conditioning system.



Hide 4. WARM UP ENGINE

a.

Keep the A/C switch on for at least 2 minutes to warm up the compressor.

NOTICE:

To prevent damage to the compressor, be sure to warm up the compressor when turning the air conditioning on after removing and installing air conditioning system lines (including the compressor).



Hide 5.INSPECT FOR REFRIGERANT LEAK

a.

After recharging the air conditioning system with refrigerant, inspect for refrigerant leaks using a gas leak detector.


b.

Carry out the test under the following conditions:

·

Turn the ignition switch off.

·

Ensure good ventilation (the gas leak detector may react to volatile gases which are not refrigerant, such as gasoline vapor and exhaust gas).

·

Repeat the inspection 2 or 3 times.

·

Measure the pressure to make sure that there is some refrigerant remaining in the air conditioning system.

Pressure when the compressor is off: approximately 392 to 588 kPa (3.9 to 5.9 kgf/cm2, 57 to 85 psi).

*1 Drain Hose
*a Gas Leak Detector


Bring the gas leak detector close to the drain hose with the detector power off, and then turn the detector on.

HINT:
·

After the blower motor has stopped, leave the cooling unit for more than 15 minutes.

·

Bring the gas leak detector sensor under the drain hose.

·

When bringing the gas leak detector close to the drain hose, make sure that the gas leak detector does not react to volatile gases. If it is not possible to avoid interference from volatile gases, the vehicle should be lifted up to allow checking for leaks.




e.

If a refrigerant leak is not detected from the drain hose, remove the blower motor control from the cooling unit. Insert the gas leak detector sensor into the unit and check for a leak.


f.

Disconnect the pressure sensor connector and leave it for approximately 20 minutes. Bring the gas leak detector close to the pressure sensor and check for a leak.

HINT:

When checking for leaks, the presence of oily dirt at a joint can indicate a leak.
