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.).

24-28 AIR-CONDITIONING-Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS N24PAAB
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
I
The refrigerant used in all air-conditioning installations is R-12. It is transparent and colorless in both the liquid and
vapor state. Since it has a boiling point of -29.8T (-21.7”F). at atmospheric pressure, it will be a vapor at all normal
temperatures and pressures. The vapor is heavier than air, non- flammable, and nonexplosive. It is nonpoisonous
except when it is in direct contact with open flame. It is noncorrosive except when combined with water. The
following precautions must be observed when handling R-12.
Caution
Wear
safety goggles when servicing the refrigeration system.
R-12 evaporates so rapidly at normal atmospheric pressures and temperatures that it tends to freeze anything it
contacts. For this reason, extreme care must be taken to prevent any liquid refrigerant from contacting the skin and
especially the eyes.
Always wear safety goggles when servicing the refrigeration part of the air- conditioning system. Keep a bottle of
sterile mineral oil handy when working on the refrigeration system. Should any liquid refrigerant get into the eyes,
use a few drops of mineral oil to wash them out. RI12 is rapidly absorbed by the oil. Next, splash the eyes with
plenty of cold water. Call your doctor immediately even though irritation has ceased after treatment.
Caution
Do not heat R-12 above 52°C (125°F).
In most instances, moderate heat is required to bring the pressure of the refrigerant in its container above the
pressure of the system when charging or adding refrigerant. A bucket or large pan of hot water not over 52°C
(125°F) is all the heat required for this purpose. Do not heat the refrigerant container with a blow torch or any other
means that would raise temperature and pressure above this temperature. Do not weld or steam clean on or near
the system components or refrigerant lines.
Caution
Keep R-12 containers upright when charging the system.
When metering R-12 into the refrigeration system, keep the supply tank or cans in an upright position. If the
refrigerant container is on its side or upside down, liquid refrigerant will enter the system and damage the
compressor.
Caution
Always work in a well-ventilated room.
Good ventilation is vital in the working area. Always discharge the refrigerant into the service bay exhaust system
or outside the building. Large quantities of refrigerant vapor in a small, poorly ventilated room can displace the air
and cause suffocation.
Although R-12 vapor is normally nonpoisonous, contact with an open flame can cause the vapor to become very
poisonous. Do not discharge large quantities of refrigerant in an area having an open flame. A poisonous gas is
producted when using the flame-type leak detector. Avoid inhaling the fumes from the leak detector.
Caution
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright metal.
Refrigerant will tarnish bright metal and chrome surfaces, and in combination with moisture’can severely corrode
all metal surfaces.

24-30 AIR-CONDITIONING -Service Adjustunent Procedures
(4) If the sight glass shows foam or bubbles, the systpm could be low on charge. Occasional foam or bubbles are
normal when the ambient temperature is above 43”C(110”F) or below 21”C(7O”F).
Adjust the engine speed to 1,500 rpm. Block the airflow through the condenser to increase the compressor
discharge pressure to 1,422 to 1,520 kPa (20$ to 220 dsi). If sight glass still shows bubbles or foam, system charge
level is low.
The refrigerant system will not be low on charge unless there is a leak. Find and repair the leak. If the leak can be
repaired without discharging the system an oil level check is not necessary. Use the procedure for correcting low
refrigerant level found in the Refrigerant Sy$em Service Procedure Section.
FUSIBLE PLUG
When ambient temperature of the fusible plug reach& 105~221~F), the fusible plug melts and the refrigerant in
the system is released.
Once the fusible plug is operated, it cannot be used again.
SO, it is necessary to install new one and charge the refrigerant in the system.
Low pressure
switch , LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The Low Pressure Switch, located on the liquid line, is wired in
series with the magnetic clutch. It cuts off the electrical power
supply to the clutch when refrigerant pressure drops below the
cont$ol point of the switch. Whenever the system is inactivated by
the low pressure switch due to refrigerant loss, the refrigerant oil
may have been lost. Therefore, to prevent damage to the com-
pressor due to operation without sufficient lubrication, the leak
must be repaired and the compressor oil level checked before final
charge of the system. The switch is a sealed, factory calibrated
unit. No attempt should be made to adjust or otherwise repair it.
If it is found to be faulty it must be replaced.
To Test the Low Pressure Switch (Engine Off)
(1) Jump the wire leads.
(2) Press the air conditioner switch and blower switch on.
(3) Momentarily turn the ignition switch on (do not crank the en-
gine), listen for the compressor clutch engaging.
(4) If the clutch does not engage, the fin thermostat, water tem-
perature switch or fuse may be faulty.
(5) If clutch engages, connect the manifold gauge set and
read pressure. At pressure of 210 kPa (30 psi) or above,
switch must actuate the clutch.
If the pressure is below 210 kPa (30 psi), the refrigerant
system is low in charge. For corrective action refer to
refrigerant leak repair procedure.
(6) Reconnect boot on switch and perform step number 3.
If the clutch does not engage, discharge the system, replace
the switch, and recharge the system.
