JUDGEMENT

High
stall
revolution
more

than

standard
revolution

If
the

engine
revolution
in
stall

condition
is

higher
than
the
standard

values
it

indicates
that
one

or
more

clutches
in

the
transmission
are

slipping
and
therefore
no
further
test

is

required

For
the

following

the

are

presumed

slipping

To

determine
which
is

slipping

front
clutch
or
low

and
reverse
brake

a
road
test
is
nceded

If
whilc

coasting
after

starting

with
the
lever
in
1

range
engine

braking
does

not
work

properly
the

low
and

reverse
brake
is

slipping

Otherwise
the
front
clutch
is

slipping

Slipping
of
the
band
brake
is

diffi

cult
to
ascertain

However
if
it

occurs

with
the
lever
in
2

range

engine

revolution
increases

Jp
to
thesarne

level
as
in

strange
It

is

FUEL

TEMPERATURE

GAUGE

DESCRI

PTION

The
fuel

gauge
consists

of
a

tank

unit

located
in
the

fuel
tank

and
fuel

gauge
The
tank

unit

detects
fuel
level

with
its

float

converts
fuel
level
varia

tion
to
a
resistance

of
slide
resistor

installed

on
the
float
base
and

thus

controls

current

flowing
to
the
fuel

gauge

BE16
The
water

temperature
gauge
con

sists
of
a

gauge
and
thermal
transmit

ter
located
in
the

engine
block
The

thermal
transmitter
is

equipped
with

a

thermistor
element

which
converts

cooling
water

temperature
variation

to

a
resistance
and
thus
the
thermal

tr

t
c

rtrols
cUfTent
flowing
to

the

gauge

The

fuel

gauge
and

water

tempera

ture

gauge
are

provided
with
a
bi
metal

arm
and
heater
coil
When
the

ignition

switch
is

set
to
ON
current
flows
to

the
heat
coil
and
the
heat
coil
is

heated
With
this
heat
the
bi
metal

arm
is

bent
and
thus
the

pointer

connected
to
the
bi
metal

arm
is

oper

ated
The
characteristics

of
both

gauges
are
the

same

A
tolerance

may
occur
on
the

water

temperature
gauge
or
fuel

gauge
due
to

source

voltage
fluctuation
The

voltage

regulator
is
used
to

supply
a

constant

voltage
so
that

the
water

temperature

gauge
and
fuel

gauge
operate
correctly

The

operating
part
of
the

regulator

consists
of
a
bi

metal

arm
and

a
heater

coil
When
the

ignition
switch
is

turned
on
the
bi
metal

arm
is
heated

and
bent

by
the
coil

opening
the

contact

Consequently
current
to

the

coil
is

interrupted
As

the
bi
metal

cools
the

contact
closes
The

repeti

tion

of
this

operation

produces
a

pulsating
voltage
of
8
volts
which
is

applied
to
the

water

temperature
and

fuel

gauges

If
both
the
water

temperature

gauge
and
fuel

gauge
become

faulty
at

the

same
time
this

may
be
attributed

to

problem
in
the

voltage
regulator

RECEIVER
DRYER

The
receiver

dryer
serves
the

pur

pose
of

storing
the

liquid
refrigerant

The

amount
of
the

liquid
refrigerant

flowing
through
the

system
varies

with

the

operating
condition
of
the
air

conditioner
To
be
accurate
the

receiver

dryer
stores

excess
amount
of

refrigerant
when

the
heat
load
is

lowered
It

also
releases
stored

refriger

ant
when

additional

cooling
is
needed

thus

maintaining
the

optimum
flow
of

refrigerant
within
the

system

The
receiver

dryer
includes

a

strainer
and
desiccant

They
have
the

job
of

removing
moisture
and

foreign

particles
as
the

refrigerant
circulates

within
the

system

The

pressure
switch

is
installed

beside

sight
glass
of
receiver

dryer
The

purpose
of
the
switch

is
to

stop
the

compressor
operation
in
the
event

an

excessive

system

pressure
builds

up
on

the

high
pressure
lines

The

liquid
refrigerant
evaporates
in

the

evaporator
with

the
aid
of
the

expansion
valve

Consequently
the
air

drawn

by
the
blower
motor
is

cooled

in

passing
through
the

evaporator

The

expansion
valve
restricts

the

liquid
refrigerant
as
it

passes
through
it

and

delivers

sprayed
refrigerant
to
the

evaporator
for

facilitating
refrigerant

evaporation
The

cooling
unit

includes
an

evapo

rator
and
an

expansion
valve
From

the
electrical

point
of
view

the

cooling
unit
consists
of
a

blower

motor

a
resistor
for
fan

speed
control

and
some
switches
and

relays

AC

The

refrigerant
within
the

thermo

bulb

changes
in

pressure
through
the

super
heat

condition
of

vaporized
re

frigerant
gas
which
comes
out
of
the

evaporator
causing
the

deflection
of

the

diaphragm
The
lift

of
the

ball

valve
attached
to
the

diaphragm
is

changed
by
the
deflection
of
the
dia

phragm
thus

controlling
the
amount

of

refrigerant
passing
the

orifice
