AIR-CONDITIONING-General Information 24-19
GENERAL INFORMATION N2400AC
The air conditioner blows out cooled air by driving the compressor when the air conditioner switch installed
on the heater control papnel is pressed ON and the position of the blower switch is out of OFF position.
The temperature in the cabin is adjusted by the position of the temperature control lever which determines the
opening of the blend air damper and adjusts the mixing ratio of the cooled air and warm air.
The blowout made is ‘z , and the cooled air is blown out from four directions, and the blowout can be adjusted
by the blower switch changes the blowout in four stages by the cabin condition.
The air selector is set on P&J during cooling, and can be changed to & according to the offensive smell and
pollution.

COMPRESSOR - The prime purpose of the compressor is to compress the low pressure refrigerant vapor
from the evaporator into a high pressure, high temperature vapor. The 6 cylinder 6P148 compressor is used.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH is mounted on the compressor providing a convenient way to drive and disengage
compressor in accordance to the cooling needs. CONDENSER is located in front of the radiator. Its function
is to cool the hot, high pressure refrigerant gas causing it to condense into high pressure liquid refrigerant.
RECEIVER DRIER is used to remove any traces of moisture from the refrigerant system. This component
incorporates the sight glass and fusible plug. SIGHT GLASS at the top of the receiver drier is provided as a
diagnostic tool to observe refrigerant flow and observe refrigerant level. THE FUSIBLE PLUG is located on
the receiver drier. Its function is to prevent damage to the air conditioning system in the event that
excessive pressure develops due to condenser air flow being restricted by, for example, leaves, newspaper,
an overcharge of refrigerant, or air in the system. LOW PRESSURE SWITCH prevents damage to the
compressor in case of system loss of refrigerant charge. EXPANSION VALVE - The expansion valve is used
for all applications. Its function is to meter refrigerant into the evaporator in accordance with cooling
requirements. EVAPORATOR COIL is located in the unit and its function is to cool and dehumidify the air
before it enters the vehicle. FREEZE UP CONTROL FIN THERMOSTAT SENSOR is installed at the heater
side of evaporator. The main function of a freeze control is to keep condensate water on the face of the
evaporator coil from freezing and restricting air flow. WATER TEMPERATURE SWITCH - When the
temperature of the radiator coolant became high, this switch functions to stop the compressor and prevent
engine overheating. SERVICE VALVE at the compressor and the discharge line. The valves are used to test
and service the refrigerant system. REFRIGERANT R-12 is used maximum amount 907 g (32 oz.) R-12.
COMPRESSOR OIL is used DENS0 oil 6 maximum amount 110 cc (3.7 U.S.fl.oz., 3.9 Imp.fl.oz.).

TROUBLESHOOTING N24EBAE
Before replacing or repairing air conditioning compofents, first determine if the malfunction is; due to refrigerant
charge, air flow, or compressor related.
The following diagnostic charts have been developed as a “quick reference” aid in determining the cause of
malfunction. If these charts do not satisfactorily describe the problem, refer to appropriate section for detailed
explanation.
N24DA.-
After correcting the malfunction, check out the complete system to assure satisfactory performance.

MANIFOLD GAUGE SET INSTALLATUON Discharge
W gauge
Suction
gauge
Suction
gauge
valve Manifold Gauge Valves should be closed
when connecting the manifold gauge set to the service port of the
compressor and the discharge hose. The suction gauge valve at the left is opened to provide a passage between
the suction gauge and the center manifold outlet. The discharge gauge valve at the right is opened to provide a
passage between the discharge pressure gauge and the center manifold outlet.
Detailed instructions for proper use of the gauge set manifold are contained in the text covering each test and
service operation employing these gauges.
Suction Gauge; the left side of the manifold set is calibrated to register 0 to-100 kPa (0 to 30 in. of vacuum) and
0 to 1000 kPa (0 to 150 psi). This gauge is connected to the suction port of the compressor.
Discharge Gauge; the right of the manifold set is calibrated to register 0 to 2100 kPa (0 to 300 psi). For all
tests this gauge is connected to the discharge port of the system.
Center Manifold Outlet provides the necessary connection for a long service hose used when discharging the
system, using a vacuum pump to “pull a vacuum” before charging the system, and for connecting the supply of
refrigerant when charging the system

2OW724 N24FEAE The receiver drier assembly consists of; Drier reservoir, Refriger-
ant level sight glass and Fusible plug.
To Test the Receiver Drier (1) Operate the unit and check the piping temperature by
touching the receiver drier outlet and inlet.
(2) If there is a difference in the temperatures, the
received drier is restricted.
Replace the receiver drier.
SIGHT GLASS REFRlGERANT LEVEL TEST The sight glass is a refrigerant level indicator. To check the refrigerant level, clean the sight glass and start the
vehicle engine. Push the air conditioner button to operate the compressor, place the blower switch to high and
move the temperature lever to extreme left.
After operating for a few minutes in this manner, check the sight glass.
(1) If the sight glass is clear, the magnetic clutch is engaged, the compressor discharge line is warm and the
compressor inlet line is cool; the system has a full charge.
(2) If the sight glass is clear, the magnetic clutch is engaged and there is no significant temperature difference
between compressor inlet and discharge lines; the system has lost some refrigerant.
(3) If the sight glass is clear and the magnetic clutch is disengaged; the clutch is faulty or, the system is out of
refrigerant. Perform low pressure switch test to determine condition. Check low pressure switch and clutch coil
for electrical continuity.
