Performance test
After finishing repairs, conduct a performance test of the air
conditioning system as follows.
1. Connect the manifold gauge set. (Refer to page U-32.)
2. Start the engine and keep the engine speed at
1,500 rpm.
3. Operate the air conditioner at maximum cooling.
4. Open all windows and doors.
5. Place a dry-bulb thermometer in the center ventilator outlet.
6. Place a dry and wet thermometer close to the blower inlet.
7. Wait until the air conditioner outlet temperature stabilizes.
Stabilized condition
Blower inlet temperature: 25-35*C (77-95*F)
High-pressure side:
1,177-1,619 kPa (12.0-16.6 kg/cm’, 171-235 psi)
Note
l If the high-pressure side becomes too high, pour
cool water on the condenser. If It is too low, cover
the front of the condenser.
8. After the air conditioner stabilizes, read the dry and wet ther-
mometer at the air inlet.
9. Calculate the relative humidity from the chart below by com-
paring the wet- and dry-bulb readings.

the difference between the inlet dry-bulb and outlet dry-bulb
temperatures.
11. Verify that the intersection of the relative humidity and tem-
perature difference is in the shaded zone.

SIGHT GLASS
Checking refrigerant charge
1. Run the engine at a fast idle.
2. Operate the air conditioner at maximum cooling for a few
minutes.
3. Determine the amount of refrigerant as shown below by ob-
serving the sight glass.
Item Symptom Amount of refrigerant Action
I Bubbles present in sight glass Insufficient refrigerant Check refrigerant pressure
2 No bubbles present in sight glass Too much or proper amount of Turn air conditioner OFF, and
refrigerant watch bubbles (Refer to Items 3
and 4)
3 Immediately after air conditioner turned Too much refrigerant Check refrigerant pressure
OFF, refrigerant in sight glass stays clear
4 When air conditioner turned OFF, refrigerant Proper amount of refrigerant Refrigerant amount normal
foams, and then sight glass becomes clear
QMUOUX-140
Checking refrigerant pressure
1. Connect the manifold gauge set. (Refer to page U--32.)
2. Operate the engine at 2,000 rpm and set the air condition-
er to maximum cooling.
3. Measure the low- and high-pressure sides.
Normal pressure
Low-pressure side: 147-294 kPa
(1.5-3.0 kg/cm2, 21-43 psi)
High-pressure side: 1 ,I 77-l ,619 kPa

COOLING UNIT
Removal / Installation AIR CONDITIONER
1. Discharge the refrigeration system. (Refer to page U-32.)
2. Remove the glove box, glove box cover, undercover, and instrument panel stay. (Refer to Section S.)
3. Remove the cooling unit as shown in the figure. -
Note
l Immediately plug all open fittings to keep moisture out of system.
4. Install the cooling unit in the reverse order of removal.
Note
l Position the cooling unit so that its connections match those of the heater unit and blower unit.
l Apply clean compressor oil to the O-rings before connecting the fittings.
l Do not apply compressor oil to the fitting nuts.
l When installing a new cooling unit, add compressor oil through the high-pressure pipe port
of the compressor.
Compressor oil: 50 cc (3.05 cu in)

Caution
l While testing refrigerant pressure switch No.2, care-
fully note the high-pressure side refrigerant pres-
sure. If the pressure increases above 1,766 kPa (18
kg/cm2, 256 psi), stop the testing. _,
7. Disconnect the condenser fan connector.
8. Run the engine at 2,000 rpm, and operate the air condi-
tioner at maximum cooling position.
9. Check that the refrigerant pressure switch turns on when
the high-pressure side refrigerant pressure increases above
1,570 f 98 kPa (16 f 1 kg/cm2, 228 f 14 psi).
IO. If not as specified, replace the switch together with cooler
pipe No.2. (Refer to page U-54.)
