Figure 3B-16 Condenser Assembly
condenser. The refrigerant vapor gives up its heat,
which is quickly and easily radiated into the sur-
rounding air through the large finned surfaces of the
condenser. In giving up its heat, the refrigerant vapor
condenses back into liquid which collects in a pool
at the bottom of the condenser.
As we have said before, when the refrigerant con-
denses into a liquid, it again is ready for boiling in the
evaporator. So, we can run a pipe from the condenser
back to the evaporator.
Main Units of the SystemThese three units then; the evaporator, the compres-
sor, and the condenser are the main working
parts of any typical air conditioning system. We have
the evaporator where the refrigerant boils andchanges into a vapor, absorbing heat as it does so. We
have the pump or compressor to put pressure on the
refrigerant so it can get rid of its heat. And we have
a condenser outside the car body to help discharge
the heat into the surrounding air.
Pressure and FlowThere is one more unit that co-operates with thesethree. It doesn’t do any real work, but it does act as
sort of a traffic officer in controlling the flow of the
refrigerant through the system. To get a better idea
of what this does. let’s first do a li,ttle exoerimentine
with an ordinary’ tire pump.
When we use a
t,ire pump to Sate an automobile
tire, we are creating pressure only because we are
“pushing” against the air already entrapped inside
the tire. If you question this, just try pumping up a
tire that has a large puncture in it. You could pump
all day, and still not be able to build up any pressure.
As fast as you would pump the air in, it would leak
out through the puncture.
Abou~t all you would be
doing would be circulating nice fresh air through the
tire.
1Jnless you have something lo push against - to
block the tlow of air
- you can’t create more than a
mere semblance of pressure.
The same situation holds true in an air conditioning
system. The compressor can pump refrigerant vapor
through the system, but unless it has something to
push against, it cannot build up pressure. All the
compressor would be doing would be to circulate the
vapor without increasing its
pres,sure.Yet we can’t just block the flow through the system
entirely. All we want to do is put pressure on the
refrigerant vapor so it will condense at normal tem-
peratures. What’s more, this
musi: be done some time
after the vapor leaves the evaporator and before it
returns again as a liquid. We can’t have high pressure
in the evaporator because that would slow down the
boiling of the refrigerant and thus penalize the re-
frigerating effect.
Controlling Pressure and FlowPressure and flow can be controlled with a float
valve, or with a pressure-regulating valve. They do
the same job, but in a different way.
Since the float valve type will give us a better idea of
pressure and flow control, let’s look at it first (Fig.
9B-17).It consists simply of a float that rides on the surface
of the liquid refrigerant. As the refrigerant liquid
boils and passes off as a vapor, naturally the liquid
level drops lower and lower. Correspondingly, the
float, because it rides on the surface of the refriger-
ant, also drops lower and lower as the liquid goes
down.By means of a simple system of mechanical linkage,
the downward movement of the float opens a valve
to let refrigerant in. The incoming liquid raises the
fluid level and, of course, the float rides up with it.
When the surface level of the refrigerant liquid re-
aches a desired height, the float: will have risen far
98-26 1973 OPEL SERVICE MANUAL
greater than the opposing pressure in the power ele-
ment. Therefore, the valve remains closed. When the
compressor is started, it will reduce the pressure and
temperature of the refrigerant in the cooling coil to
a point where the vapor pressure in the power ele-
ment becomes the stronger. The seat then moves off
the orifice and liquid starts to flow through the valve
orifice into the cooling coil.
The purpose of the power element is to help deter-
mine the quantity of liquid that is being metered into
the cooling coil. As the temperature of the low pres-
sure line changes at the bulb, the pressure of
the
vapor in the power element changes, resulting in a
change of the position of the seat. For example, if the
cooling coil gets more liquid than is required, the
temperature of the low pressure line is reduced and
the resultant lowering of the bulb temperature
reduces the pressure of the vapor in the power ele-
ment, allowing the seat to move closer to the orifice.
This immediately reduces the amount of liquid leav-
ing the valve. Under normal operation, the power
element provides accurate control of the quantity of
refrigerant to the cooling coil.
To employ our tire pump analogy once more for
clarity, it is the same situation that would exist if you were inflating a tire with a very slow leak. Providing
you pumped the air into the tire as fast as it leaked
out, you would be able to maintain pressure even
though the air would merely be circulating through the tire and leaking out through the puncture.
To Sum Up
So far, we’ve discussed only what each unit in an air
conditioning system does. We’ve learned that the
evaporator is the unit in which liquid refrigerant
soaks up heat from the air, the compressor is a pump
for squeezing this heat out of the vapor, the con-
denser is a radiator for getting rid of the heat, and the
thermostatic expansion valve is a device for regulat-
ing the pressure on the refrigerant. Now, let’s
find
out how the temperature of the cooled air is con-
trolled.
METHOD OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL
To achieve temperature control, the compressor is
run intermittently, automatically turning on and off
as necessary to maintain proper temperature.
Thermostatic Switch
The compressor can be started and stopped au-
tomatically through the use of an electro-magnetic
clutch and a thermostat affected by variations of temperature.
The job is usually done by a gas bulb thermostat (Fig.
9B-21).
Figure 9B-21 Thermostatic Switch Schematic
With the gas bulb type of thermostat, a highly expan-
sive gas is sealed into a metallic bulb which is located
in the air stream as it leaves the evaporator. A small
tube leads from the bulb to a bellows operated switch. As air temperature rises, the gas inside the
bulb expands, travels through the tube to the bellows
and closes the electrical switch that engages the com-
pressor clutch.
Of course, as soon as the compressor starts running,
the temperature begins to go down. As the air being
cooled gets colder, the gas in the thermostat bulb
begins to reduce the pressure on the switch bellows.
This
Ilips “off’ the switch and disengages the com-
pressor clutch.
REFRIGERANTS
No matter how scientifically refrigerating machinery
is built or how
efftciently it runs, it alone cannot
remove heat. The only thing that carries heat out of
a refrigerator cabinet or an automobile is the sub-
stance we call the refrigerant.
There are many refrigerants known to man. In fact,
any liquid that can boil at temperatures somewhere
near the freezing point of water can be used.
But a boiling point below the temperature at which
ice forms is not the only thing that makes a good
refrigerant. A refrigerant should also be non-
poiso-
nowand non-explosive to be safe. Besides that, we
want a refrigerant that is non-corrosive and one that
will mix with oil.
Since Nature did not provide an ideal refrigerant,
chemists went to work to see if they could do any
better. They did! But it wasn’t as simple as that.
At first, they tried to improve existing natural refrig-
erants. But after exploring innumerable trails along
REFRIGERANT COMPONENTS ALL MODELS99.27that line, they still hadn’t gotten anywhere. So, they
started from scratch and juggled molecules around
to make an entirely new refrigerant. Eventually they
succeeded by remodeling the molecules in carbon
tetrachloride. This is the same fluid that is used in
fire extinguishers and dry-cleaners’ solvents.
From this fluid, the chemists removed two chlorine
atoms and replaced them with two fluorine atoms.
This newly-formed fluid carried the technical chemi-
cal name of dichlorodifluoromethane. Today, we
know it as Refrigerant-12 or R-12.
Fluorine is an extremely temperamental substance.
Under most conditions it is toxic and highly corro-
sive, and after is is manufactured, it has to be stored
in special containers because it will eat through glass
and will dissolve most metals in short order.
Despite its rambunctious character though, fluorine
is completely tamed when it is combined with the
other substances that go to make up the refrigerant.
Each is non-toxic, non-inflammable, non-explosive,
and non- poisonous; however, breathing large quan-
tities of R-12 should be avoided.
Pressure. Temperature Relationship of R-12A definite pressure and temperature relationship ex-
ists in the case of liquid refrigerants and their satu-
rated vapors. Increasing the temperature of a
substance causes it to expand. When the substance is
confined in a closed container, the increase in tem-
perature will be accompanied by an increase in pres-
sure, even though no mechanical device was used.
For every temperature, there will be a corresponding
pressure within the container of refrigerant. A table
of the temperature-pressure relationship of R-12 is
presented below. Pressures are indicated in gauge
pressure, either positive pressure (above atmos-
pheric) m pounds or negative pressure (below atmos-
pheric) in inches of vacuum.

AIR CONDITIONINGBecause air conditioning has always been very
closely allied with mechanical refrigeration, most of
us are apt to think of it only as a process for cooling
room air.
But true air conditioning goes beyond the mere cool-
ing of the air. It controls the humidity, cleanliness,
and circulation of the air as well.
Whenever it gets warm and muggy in the summer-
time, someone is almost sure to say, “It’s not the heat
it’s the humidity.” But that is only partly right.
Actually it is a combination of the two that makes us
feel so warm temperature alone is not the only
thing that makes us uncomfortable.
Humidity is nothing more nor less that the moisture
content of the air. To a certain extent, it is tied in
with the temperature of the air. Warm air will hold
more moisture than will cold air. When air contains
all the moisture it can hold, we say it is saturated,
and the relative humidity is 100 percent. If the air
contains only half as much water as it could possibly
hold at any given temperature, we say that the rela-
tive humidity is 50 percent. If it contains only a fifth
of its maximum capacity, we say that the relative
humidity is 20 percent and so on. This amount
of water vapor, or relative humidity, affects the way
we perspire on hot days.
Nature has equipped our bodies with a network of
sweat glands that carry perspiration to the skin
sur-faces. Normally, this perspiration evaporates and, in
doing so, absorbs heat just like a refrigerant absorbs
heat when it is vaporized in a freezer. Most of the
heat thus absorbed is drawn from our bodies, giving
us a sensation of coolness. A drop of alcohol on the
back of your hand will demonstrate this principle
very convincingly. Because it is highly volatile, al-
cohol will evaporate very rapidly and absorb quite a
bit of heat in doing so, thereby making the spot on
your hand feel unusually cool.
The ease and rapidity with which evaporation takes
place, whether it be alcohol or perspiration, governs
our sensation of coolness and to a certain extent,
independently of the temperature. Of even more im-
portance, the ease and rapidity of the evaporation are
directly affected by the relative humidity or com-
parative dampness of the air. When the air is dry,
perspiration will evaporate quite readily. But when
the air contains a lot of moisture, perspiration will
evaporate more slowly; consequently less heat is car-
ried away from our body.

chemical reactions which upsets stability and inter-
feres with the operation of the unit.
Metals
CHEMICAL INGREDIENTS OF AN AUTOMOTIVE
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMAll systems involve metals, refrigerant, and oil which
are basic and essential. The desiccant, or dehydrating
agent, and another chemical ingredient, synthetic
rubber, makes it even more complex.
All of these ingredients have chemical properties
which are entirely different from each of the others.
In spite,of these differences, by proper selection of
the ingredients and controlled processes in manufac-
ture, plus careful servicing procedures they can be
combined so that they “live together” to provide
many years of satisfactory and trouble-free operat-
ion.If, however, only one undesirable element is added orIn most cases, metals contribute to the decomposi-
tion of R-12 and oil in varying amounts. All are
attacked by acids.
Each of the metals in common use in a system has
been selected for a specific reason; heat conductivity,
durability, strength, and chemical composition.
Under favorable conditions, the amounts of decom-
position of Refrigerant-12 and oil produced by these
metals is negligible and allowable. However, if un-
desirable substances are added and the temperature
is increased, the rate of decomposition and the pro-
duction of harmful acids increases proportionally.
RefrigerantThe chemical properties of refrigerants are very im-
portant factors in the stability of a system since the
98-32 1973 OPEL SERVICE MANUAL
inserting it in the connection. Another precaution -inspect the fitting for burrs which can cut the
“0”ring.
Restrictions
Restrictions may be due to powdered desiccant or
dirt and foreign matter. This may result in starved
evaporator and loss of cooling, or a seized compres-
SOT.When the amount of moisture in a system sufti-
ciently exceeds the capacity of the desiccant, it can
break down the desiccant and cause it to powder.
The powder passes through the dehydrator screen
with the refrigerant liquid and is carried to the ex-
pansion valve screen. While some of it may pass
through the valve screen into the evaporator, it may
quickly build up to cause a restriction.
Due to the fact that sufftcient oil can not be returned
to the compressor, it may seize.
Dirt
Dirt, which is any foreign material, may come from
cleaner residues, cutting, machining, or preserving
oils, metal dust or chips, lint or dust, loose rust,
soldering or brazing fluxes, paint or loose oxide
scale. These can also cause seized bearings by abra-
sion or wedging, discharge and expansion valve fail-
ure, decomposition of refrigerant and oil, or
corrosion of metal parts.
CorrosionCorrosion and its by-products can restrict valve and
drier screens, rough bearing surfaces or rapid fatigu-
ing of discharge reeds. This can result in high tem-
perature and pressure, decomposition or leaks. In
any event, this means a wrecked compressor.
From this, we can see the vicious circle that can be
produced in a refrigerating system to cause its fail-
ure. Corrosion can be the indirect cause of leaks, and
leaks can be the direct cause of corrosion. We can
also see the important role we as servicemen play in
maintaining chemical stability.
The major cause of corrosion is moisture.
Moisture
Moisture is the greatest enemy of refrigerating sys-
tems. Combined with metal, it produces oxide, Iron
Hydroxide and Aluminum Hydroxide. Combined
with R-12 it produces Carbonic acid, Hydrochloric
acid, and Hydrofluoric acid. Moisture can also cause
freeze-up of expansion valve and powdered desic-
cant.Although high temperature and dirt are responsible
for many difficulties in refrigerating systems, in most
instances it is the presence of moisture in the system
that accelerates these conditions. It can be said,themfore, that moisture is the greatest enemy of all.
The acids that it produces, in combination with both
the metals and the refrigerant, cause damaging
COT-
rosion. While the corrosion may not form as rapidly
with R-12 as with some other refrigerants, the even-
tual formation is as damaging.
If the operating pressure and temperature in the
evaporator is reduced to the freezing point, moisture
in the refrigerant can collect at the orifice of the
expansion valve and freeze. This temporarily re-
stricts the flow of liquid causing erratic cooling.
As previously mentioned, moisture in excess of the
desiccant’s capacity can cause it to powder.
YOU SHOULD KNOW AND REMEMBER..That the inside of the refrigerat,ion system is com-
pletely sealed from the outside world. And if that
seal remains broken at any point
- the system will
soon be destroyed. That complete and positive seal-
ing of the entire system is vitally important and that
this sealed condition is absolutely necessary to retain
the chemicals and keep them in a pure and proper
condition.
That all parts of the refrigeration system are under
pressure at all times, whether operating or idle, and
that any leakage. points are continuously losing re-
frigerant and oil.
That the leakage of refrigerant can be so silent that
the complete charge may be lost without warning.
That refrigerant gas is heavier than air and will rap-
idly drop to the floor as it flows from a point of
leakage.
That the pressure in the system may momentarily
become as high as 400 lbs. per square inch, and that
under such pressure the molecules of refrigerant are
forced out through the smallest opening or pore.
That the compressor is continually giving up some
lubricating oil to the circulating refrigerant and de-
pends upon oil in the returning refrigerant for con-
tinuous replenishment. Any stoppage or major loss
of refrigerant will therefore be fatal to the compres-
SOT.That the extreme internal dryness of a properly proc-
essed system is a truly desert condition, with the
drying material in the receiver holding tightly on to
the tiny droplets of residual moisture.

GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS6. Do not discharge vapor into area where flame is
exposed or directly into engine air intake.
General InformationAll subassemblies are shipped sealed and dehy-
drated. They are to remain sealed until just prior to
making connections, and should be at room tempera-
ture before uncapping. This prevents condensation of
moisture from air that enters the system.
All precautions should be taken to prevent damage
to fittings or connections. Even minute damage to a
connection could cause it to leak. Any fittings with
grease or dirt on them should be wiped clean with a
cloth dipped in alcohol.
Do not clean fitting or hoses with solvents because
they are contaminants. If dirt, grease or moisture
gets inside the pipes or hoses and cannot be removed,the pipe or hose is to be replaced. Use a small amount
of clean refrigeration oil on all tube and hose con-
necting joints, and lubricate the
“0” ring gasket with
this oil before assembling the joint. The oil will help
in effectitig a leak-proofjoint and assist the
“0” ring
to slip into the proper location without being cut or
damaged. Always use new
“0” rings.
When tightening joints, use a second wrench to hold
the stationary part of the connection to prevent
twisting and to prevent hose kinking. Kinked hoses
are apt to transmit noise and vibration. Tighten all
connections in accordance with recommended
torques (see Division VI, Specifications).7. Do not expose eyes to liquid

GOGGLES whenever discharging, charging or leak

CHARGING AND DISCHARGING SYSTEMRemoval of any part in the refrigerant circuit will
require discharging of the entire system.
Discharging the System1. Remove caps from gauge fittings on the compres-
sor adapter fitting on the compressor.
2. With both valves on manifold gauge set (J-5725-
04) closed (clockwise), attach manifold to the com-
pressor adapter fitting on the compressor, using
J-5420 valve adapter at suction gauge fitting and
J-9459 valve adapter at discharge gauge fitting. See
Figure
9B-41.3. Fully open high pressure valve on manifold gauge
set to allow escape of refrigerant from system
through the manifold gauge set and out the center
fitting and hose. (Place end of hose in clean container
to collect oil loss due to rapid discharge of system).
4. When hissing ceases, indicating all refrigerant
has escaped, close high pressure valve on manifold
gauge set by turning valve clockwise.
Do not connect receiver-dehydrator assembly until
all other connections have been made. This is neces-
sary to itisure maximum moisture removal from sys-
tem.It is important that air conditioning hoses do not rest
on or contact body sheet metal except where neces-
sary. Because of the high frequency at which the
compressor operates, the passenger compartment is
susceptible to transfer of noise.
Evacuating the SystemWhen the refrigeration system is depressurized and
opened for service, some air will enter the lines, re-
gardless of how quickly openings are capped. In
or-der to remove this air and as much as possible of the
moisture it contains, the complete system must be
evacuated. Evacuating is merely the process of
removing all air from the system, thereby creating a
vacuum in the system.
Safety PiecautionsThe following safety precautions should always be
followed~,when servicing refrigerant charged compo-nents:Under no circumstances should alcohol be used in
the system in an attempt to remove moisture,
regard-less of the successful use of alcohol in other refrigera-
tion systems.

replaced. A full oil charge of 10 oz. of 525 viscosity
refrigeration oil should be replaced in the system. It
should be noted that all service replacement com-
pressors will be supplied with 10 pz. of oil. In most
cases it will be necessary to drain oil from service
replacement compressor and refill it with amount as
specified in the Oil Replacement Table.filter screen on the expansion valve should be re-
placed. If the evaporator assembly is flushed while
installed in the car, the temperature bulb on the
evaporator outlet pipe must be disconnected to keep
the expansion valve from closing at the inlet source.
FLUSHING THE SYSTEMIt is recommended that dry nitrogen be used as a
flushing agent due to the low cost involved. In addi-
tion, dry nitrogen will not cause a temperature drop,
as in the case of refrigerant-12, which results in
thickening of refrigerant oil. Dry nitrogen has the
additional advantage of removing moisture from thesystem.Flushing of the system may involve all the compo-
nents of the system or individual components in the
system. The components may be flushed while
mounted in the engine compartment or may be
removed for flushing. When a component is not
removed, disconnect all refrigerant lines or hoses
attached to component. To perform flushing operat-
ion, connect a cylinder of refrigerant-12 to the com-
ponent to be flushed, ,then invert the cylinder and
open the cylinder valve so that the liquid refrigerant
pours out and through the component. When liquid
Refrigerant-12 reaches atmospheric pressure, it im-
mediately drops to minus 21.7 degrees F. Insure that
area immediately surrounding outlet of component is
clear of anything that may be damaged by contact
because of the sudden drop in temperature.MAJOR REPAIR
