AIR CONDITIONING - L.H. & R.H. STEERING - 2. Adjust both service valve seats to the mid (Test) position. *F>, I .; 4. NOTE: If it is necessary to disconnect the compressor hoses, the compressor should be sealed by fully closing the relevant service valve (turn fully clockwise). It is essential to ensure that both service valves are open before operating the compressor. Similarly any other component of the refrigeration system should be capped immediately when disconnected. 18. Open the refrigeration drum valve. 19. Open the valve at the base of the charging cylinder and allow approximately 0,25 kg (0.5 Ib) of refrigerant to enter the cylinder. 20. Close the refrigeration drum valve and the valve at the base of the charging cylinder. 21. Open the refrigerant control valve (valve No. 4) and flush out the high and low pressure lines by opening valves Nos. 1 and 2 momentarily until a white stream of refrigerant is observed. - ST 1414M 22. Close all valves on the charging and testing 23. The air conditioning system is now depressurised. equipment, and fit the blanking caps. Evacuating Whenever the system has becii ~peiieb io iiie atmosphere it is necessary that the system be evacuated to remove all air and moisture. It is also an essential preliminary operation to charging the system with Refrigerant 12. The evacuate operation also provides a check for leaks due 10 faulty connections. ::: 2. 1. Depressurise the air conditioning system as previously described, then conncct the gauge set as detailed under Charging and Testing Equipment. 3. Open the low and high pressure valves Nos. 1 and 2. 4. Start the vacuum pump and check that thc vacuum pump valve is open. 5. Slowly open the vacuum control valve No. 3. If the vacuum is applied to the system too quickly, the residual oil may bc drawn out. 4 ST 1394M 6. In evacuating the system it is necessary to lower the pressure so that the boiling point of water in the system is lower than the surrounding air tempcrature. At an ambient temperature of 23.SC (75F), it is necessary to lower the system pressure to 29.5 in Hg vacuum to bring the boiling point of water to 22°C (72°F). Atmospheric prcssure (and vacuum gauge readings) decrease as altitude increases by approximalcly 25 mm (I in) IIg per 300 m (1000 ft). The following chart provides a guide to the various gauge readings at diflering altitudes, for the same 10 mm (0.4 in) Hg absolute pressure. Altitude, ft m Vacuum Reading in Hg mm 0 0 29.5 750 1,000 300 28.5 725 2,000 600 27.4 695 3,000 900 26.4 670 4,000 1200 25.4 645 5 ,GUU i 5Oii 24.5 622 6,000 1800 23.5 596 7,000 2100 22.6 574 8,000 2400 21 .a 554 9,000 2700 20.9 530 10,000 3000 20.1 510 13
- 82 7. The low side gauge should indicate a vacuum of 660 mm (26 in) Hg within five minutes. 8. Whilst the system is evacuating, fill the charging cylinder by opening the refrigerant drum valvc. 9. Open the valve at the base of the charging cylinder and fill the cylinder with 1,0 kg (2.2 Ib) of refrigerant. Liquid refrigerant will be observed rising in the sight glass. 10. As the refrigcrant stops filling the cylinder, opcn the valve at the top of the cylinder (behind the control panel) intermittently, to relieve the head pressure and allow the refrigerant to continue filling the cylinder. 11. When the refrigerant reaches the desired level in the sight glass, close both the valve at the basc of the cylinder and the valve at the bottom of the refrigerant tank. 12. Ensure the top cylinder valve is fully closed. If bubbling is present in the sight glass, reopen the cylinder base valve momentarily to equalise the drum and cylinder pressures. 13. If 660 mm (26 in) Hg of vacuum is not achieved within fivc minutes, it signifies either the system has a leak or thc vacuum pump is dcfcctive. Initially check thc vacuum pump, if thc pump proves to be functioning properly then investigate for a leak in thc air conditioning system. 14. Close thc vacuum control valve No. 3. 15. Stop the vacuum pump and allow the vacuum to hold for fifteen minutes, then check that there is no pressure rise (a loss of vacuum) evident on the compound gauge. Any pressure rise denotes a leak which must be rectified before procccding further. Refer to the heading titled ‘Leak Detection’ later in this section. 16. With thc system satisfactorily evacuated, the system is ready for charging with refrigerant. AIR CONDITIONING - L.H. & R.H. STEERING ST 1395M I” k Sweeping NOTE: This operation is in addition to evacuating, and is to remove moisture from systems that have been open to atmosphere for a long period, or that are known to contain excessive moisture. 1. Fit a new liquid receiver/dricr, as detailed undcr the heading “Receiver/Drier”. 2. Ensure that a full drum of refrigerant is fitted on the charging and testing equipment. 3. Fit the charging and testing equipment as previously described for evacuating and evacuate the air conditioning system, allowing 0,25 to 0,45 kg (’h to 1 Ib) of refrigerant to enter the charging cylinder. 4. Close all valves on the charging and testing equipment. 5. Disconnect the intake hose from thc vacuum Pump. A ST 1396M n: % y* 6. Connect thc intake hose to thc valve at the top of the charging cylinder. 7. Open the valve at the top of the charging cylinder. 8. Put on safety goggles, 9. Crack open the hose connection at valve No. 3 and allow some refrigerant to purge the hose, then close the connection. 10. Open the high pressure valve (No. 2). 11. Slowly open valve No. 3, which is now connected to the top valve of the charging cylinder, and allow gas to flow into the system until the reading on the compound gauge remains steady. Between 0,25 and 0,45 kg (I/? to 1 Ib) of refrigerant will entcr the system. 12. Allow the dry refrigerant introduced into the system to remain for 10 minutes. 14

Crack the suction valve charging line at the service port on the compressor to allow an escape of refrigerant, at the same time observing thc sight glass in the charging cylinder. A slight drop in the level should be allwwed before closing the connection at the compressor. 1. 14. Close the high pressure valve (No. 2). 15. Close valve No. 3. 16. Close the valve at the top of the charging cylinder. 14-10 ST 1397M 17. Reconncct thc charging and testing equipment, as described for evacuating and evacuate the air conditioning system. 18. Maintain the vacuum for twenty minutes. The air conditioning system is now ready for charging with refrigerant. Charging CAUTION: Do not charge liquid refrigerant into the compressor. Liquid cannot be compressed; and if liquid refrigerant enters the compressor inlet valve, severe damage is possible; in addition, the oil charge may be absorbed into the refrigerant, causing damage when the compressor is operated. 1. Fit the charging and testing equipment as previously described for evacuating. 2. Evacuate the air conditioning system allowing 1,0 kg (2.2 Ib) of refrigerant to enter the charging rvlinrier -J 3. Put on safety goggles. 4. Close the low pressure valve (No. 1). 5. Open the refrigerant control valve (No. 4) and release liquid refrigerant into the system through the compressor discharge valve port (High pressure). The pressure in the system will eventually balance. 6. If the full charge of 1,0 kg (2.2 Ib) of liquid refrigerant will not enter the system, then close the high pressure valve (No. 2) and open the low pressure valve (No. l), ensuring that the low pressure gauge does not exceed 40 psi. 7. Start and run the engine at 1,000-1,500 rev/min and allow refrigerant to be drawn though the low pressure valve (No. 1) until the full charge of 1,0 kg (2.2 Ib) has been drawn into the system. 8. Close valve No. 1. 6, 4-6 ST 1398M 9. Check the air conditioning system is operating satisfactorily by carrying out a prcssurc test, as described later in the Section. CAUTION: Do not overcharge the air conditioning system as this will cause excessive head pressure. Leak test The following instructions refer to an electronic type refrigerant leak detector which is the safest, most sensitive and widely used. 1. Place the vehicle in a well ventilated arca but free from draughts, as leakage from the system could be dissipated without detection. 2. Follow the instructions issued by the manufacturer of the particular leak detector being uscd. Certain dctectors have visual and audible indicators. 3. Commence searching for leaks by passing the deiecioi pietie aiuund aii jwinis and components, particularly on the underside, as the refrigerant gas is heavier than air. 4. Insert the probe into an air outlet of the evaporator. Switch the air conditioning blower on and off at intervals of ten seconds. Any leaking refrigerant will be gathered in by the blower and detected. 15

Insert the probe between the magnetic clutch and compressor to check the shaft seal for leaks. 6. Check all service valve conncctions, valve plate, head and base plate joints and back seal plate. 7. Check the condenser for leaks at the pipe connections. 8. If any leaks are found, the system must be depressurised before attempting rectification. If repairs by brazing are necessary, the component must be removed from thc vehicle and all traces of refrigerant expelled before heat is applied. 9. After repairs check the system for leaks and evacuate prior to charging.

Table I Test 1. Place the vehicle in a ventilated, shaded area free from excessive draught, with the doors and windows open. 2. Check that the surface of the condenser is not restricted with dirt, leaves, flies, etc. Do not neglect to check the surface between the condenser and the radiator. Clean as necessary. 3. Switch on the ignition and the air conditioner air flow control. Check that the blower is operating efficiently at low, medium and high speeds. Switch off the blower and the ignition. 4. Check that the evaporator condensate drains are open and clear. 5. Check the tension of the compressor driving belt, and adjust if necessary. 6. Inspect all connections for the presence of refrigerant oil. If oil is evident, check for leaks, and rectify as necessary. NOTE: The compressor oil is soluble in Refrigerant 12 and is deposited when the refrigerant evaporates from a leak. 7. Start the engine. 8. Set the temperature control switch to maximum cooling and switch the air conditioner blower control on and off several times, checking that the magnetic clutch on the compressor engages and releases each time. 9. With the temperature control at maximum cooling and the blower control at high speed, warm up the engine and fast idle at 1,000 rev/min. Check the sight glass for bubbles or foam. The sight glass should be generally clear after five minutes running, occasional bubbles being acceptable. Continuous bubbles may appear in a serviceable system on a cool day, or if there is insufficient air flow over the condenser at a high ambient temperature. 10. Repeat at 1,800 rev/min. 11.
