HEATER AND AIR. CONDITIONING 1A-24

Fig. 35-Controls-AII Weather (Chevy II)

The heater components of the system are similar to

the standard Corvette heater with hoses routing engine

coolant to and from the heater core. A vacuum operated

shutoff valve assures that no coolant will pass through

the heater core until the system calls for heat.

Four control knobs surrounding the clock on the in-

strument panel center console provide full control of the

heating and cooling functions of the air conditioning

system.
The general arrangement of the system components

is pictured in Figure 37 while a schematic view of the

system will be found in Figure 36.

Controls Corvette

Four control knobs, grouped around the clock on the

instrument panel central console, provide full control

of the heating and cooling functions of the Corvette Air

Conditioning System. Each of the knobs, through a bowden

cable, operates one of the air diverter doors in the air

distributor assembly. In addition, the AIR COND.-PULL

knob operates the compressor switch; blower speeds are

controlled by turning the AIR PULL knob; and the heater

hot water valve vacuum switch is actuated by the COOL

IN-HQT PULL knob.

Air Conditioning "ON" Knob

The "AIR COND. PULL" knob controls the positioning

of the air diverter door which routes conditioned air

through either the dash diffuser ducts or the floor dis-

tributor outlets. Movement of this knob (hence, movement

of the selector door) also controls' the compressor

switch. When the door is positioned to send air through

the dash outlets the compressor is automatically turned

on to place the cooling system in operation and the fan

is turned on to LOW speed.

Blower Switch and Air Selector

The AIR PULL-FAN knob operates the selector door

in the right hand plenum chamber and may be set to allow

full outside air, full inside air, or a mixture of the two to

clockwise for medium and high blower speed, as

desired. Low blower speed is automatic during

cooling operations.

4.
"Def-Pull". This knob should be pushed fully in.

Additional Cooling Hints

1.
The center barrel outlet in the dash may be rotated

to deflect air as desired or used to act as a shut off

door.

2.
The right and left ball outlets may be rotated to

deflect air in the direction desired. Each outlet has

a shut off valve operated by a knob approximately

4 in. inboard. When the knob is horizontal, the valve

is open.

3.
There are two (2) additional outlets in the bottom of

the ducts approximately 6" inboard from the valve

knobs. A rotating cover will open these outlets to

provide cool air for the feet if desired.

4.
When first entering a very warm car, open the

windows for a few minutes until the interior of the

car has cooled off.
Heating

1.
"Air Pull-Fan". Pull this knob fully out. Rotate

the knob clockwise for low, medium or high blower

speed as desired. If just a small amount of heat is

desired, leave the fan on low or medium speed and

regulate the temperature with the "Cool In-Hot Pull"

knob.

2.
"Air Cond-Pull". This knob should normally be

pushed fully in. However, during cool, damp days

it is possible, by pulling this knob fully out, to de-

humidify the air by passing it through the evaporator

core before reheating to the desired outlet

temperature.

3.
"Cool In-Hot Pull". Pull this knob out as far as

necessary to provide the temperature desired.

4.
"Def-Pull". Pull this knob all the way out for

maximum defrosting or de-icing. When the knob is

partly out, a portion of the hot air is used for de-

frosting and the balance is discharged through the

heater outlet.

GENERAL INFORMATION

In any vocation or trade, there are established proce-

dures and practices that have been developed after many

years of experience. In addition, occupational hazards

may be present that require the observation of certain

precautions or use of special tools and equipment. Ob-

serving the procedures, practices and precautions of

servicing refrigeration equipment will greatly reduce the

possibilities of damage to the customers' equipment as

well as virtually eliminate the element of hazard to the

serviceman.

PRECAUTIONS IN HANDLING REFRIGERANT-12

Refrigerant-12 is transparent and colorless in both the

gaseous and liquid state. It has a boiling point of 21.7^

below zero and, therefore, at all normal temperatures

and pressures it will be a vapor. The vapor is heavier

than air and is noninflammable, nonexplosive, non-

poisonous (except when in contact with an open flame)

and noncorrosive (except when in contact with water).

The following precautions in handling R-12 should be

observed at all times.

• All refrigerant drums are shipped with a heavy metal

screw cap. The purpose of the cap is to protect the

valve and safety plug from damage. It is good .prac-

tice to replace the cap after each use of the drum.

• If it is ever necessary to transport or carry a drum

or can of refrigerant in a car, keep it in the luggage

compartment. Refrigerant should not be exposed to

the radiant heat from the sun for the resulting in-

crease in pressure may cause the safety plug to

release or the drum or can to burst..

• Drums or disposable cans should never be subjected

to high temperature when adding refrigerant to the

system. In most instances, heating the drum or can

is required to raise the pressure in the container

higher than the pressure in the system during the

operation. It would be unwise to place the drum on a

gas stove, radiator or use a blow torch while pre-

paring for the charging operation, for a serious ac-

cident can result. Don't depend on the safety
plug - many drums have burst when the safety plug

failed.' Remember, high pressure means that great

forces are being exerted against the walls of the

container. A bucket of warm water, not over 125°F,

or warm wet rags around the container is all the heat

that is required.

• Do not weld or steam clean on or near the system.

Welding or steam cleaning can result in a dangerous

pressure buildup in the system.

• When filling a small drum from a large one, never

fill the drum completely. Space should always be

allowed above the liquid for expansion. If the drum

were completely full and the temperature was in-

creased, hydraulic pressure with its tremendous

force would result.

• Discharging large quantities of R-12 into a room can

usually be done safely as the vapor would produce

no ill effects, however, in the event of an accidental

rapid discharge of the system it is recommended

that inhalation of large quantities of R-12 be avoided.

This caution is especially important if the area con-

tains a flame producing device such as a gas heater.

While R-12 normally is nonpoisonous, heavy con-

centrations.. of it in contact with a live flame will

produce a toxic gas. The same gas will also attack

all bright metal surfaces.

• Protection of the eyes is of vital importance! When

working around a refrigerating system, an accident

may cause liquid refrigerant to hit the face. If the

eyes are protected with goggles or glasses, no

serious damage can result. Just remember, any

R-12 liquid that you can touch or that touches you is

at least 21.7"F. below zero. The eyeballs can't take

much of this temperature. If R-12 liquid should

strike the eyeballs, here is what to do:

1.
Keep calm.

2.
Do not rub the eyes! Splash the affected area with

quantities of cold water to gradually get the tem-

perature above the freezing point. The use of min-

eral, cod liver or an antiseptic oil is important in

rings and make the connections carefully to

eliminate possible refrigerant leaks. Position

the power element bulb so that it lies flush with

the low pressure line and has the insulating

material properly in place.

b.
If the evaporator core is to be replaced, it will

be necessary to remove the air conditioning

door bowden cable from the core and install it

in the same location in the replacement core.

If no passage has been provided for this purpose

in the replacement core, a pointed instrument

such as a pencil may be forced through core

vanes at the proper location to provide the re-

quired opening. Also remove the spacer bracket,

nut and screw from the inlet and outlet pipes of

the evaporator core and place them in a like

position on the replacement core.
