New
Drain and discard the transit lubricating oil from a new compressor before it is be fitted. An adjustment must
then be made to avoid over-filling the system, by taking into account;
a) the quantity found in the original compressor.
b) the quantity deposited in the recovery equipment oil separator from the charge recovery operation.
Drained from original compressor
50 ml
Recovered from oil separator 40 ml
Quantity to be put in new compressor 50 + 40 = 90 ml
Typical example:
Please note that the discrepancy between the cumulative figure of recovered and drained oil and the nominal capacity
of
180 ml is caused by normally unrecoverable oil being trapped in components such as the condenser, receiver/ drier
or evaporator.
The previous statements apply even
if a problem has occurred due to oil leakage. The amount of oil lost due to leakage
is generally small, so to avoid over-filling please follow the example.
If however the recovery process has not been necessary because refrigerant has also been lost, then ONLY replace the
quantity drained from the original compressor.
14.9.5
Should a major component such as condenser, receiver / drier or evaporator be renewed then an adjustment to the
system oil level must be made. This may be carried out in the same way as the examples for the compressor except
for the fact that trapped oil within any one of these components cannot normally be drained. Therefore, a nominal
amount of oil should be substituted
in addition to that recovered from the recovery station separator.
Adding Lubricating Oil - Component Related
Condenser Add 40 ml
Evaporator Add 40 ml
Receiver / drier NO adjustment
CAUTION: Always decant fresh oil from a sealed container and do not leave oil exposed to the atmosphere. PAG
oil is very hygroscopic (absoh water) and will rapidly attract atmospheric moisture.
PAG oil must NEVER be mixed with mineral based oils.
Do not re-use oil following a recovery cycle, dispose of it safely.
14.9.6 Adding Refrigerant
In order that the air conditioning system may operate efficiently it must contain a full refrigerant charge. The indica- tions of some system defects, and the results of certain tests, will show that a low charge is the most probable cause
of the fault. In such cases the charge should be recovered from the system, the weight noted, and the correct amount
installed.
Should refrigerant be added in liquid form, initial engine start
-up revolutions must NOT exceed 2000 RPM for a period
of (2) two minutes. If the engine speed is excessive, compressor damage may occur due to the lubricating oil and the
liquid refrigerant being initiallyforced around the system as a 'slug', thus taking oil awayfrom the compressor. These
marginal lubrication conditions in the compressor will cease as the refrigerant becomes gaseous.
Never attempt to 'guess' the amount of refrigerant in a system, always recover and recharge with the correct charge
weight; this is the only accurate method.
CAUTION: If oil was drawn out during the recovery process, the corM amount may be added directly from your
recovery / recycle /recharge station (if so equipped) prior to the 'charging process'. It must be stressed that the need to protect compressor oil from moisture is vital, observe the procedures
in HANDLING LUBRICATING OIL and those concerning excessive engine revolutions.

14.13 SYSTEM CHECKING WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE Sm
14.13.1 Evacuating the Manifold Gauge Set
Attach the centre (service) hose to a vacuum pump and start the pump. Open fully both high anddow valves and allow
the vacuum to remove air and moisture from the manifold set for at least five minutes.
Turn the vacuum pump off and isolate it from the centre service hose but do not open the hose to atmosphere.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the vacuum pump is not subjected to a positive pressure of any degree. Therefore
the pump must be frtted with an isolation valve at the centre (service hose) connection and this valve
must be closed before the pump is switched off. This operation replaces the 'purge' procedure used on
previous systems. Observe the manufacturefs recommendation with regard to vacuum pump oil
changes.
14.13.2 Connecting the Manifold Gauge Set
CAUTION: Only use hoses with connectors which are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.
Attachment of the hose quick release connectors to the high and low side system ports is straightfotward, provided
that the high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT operational.
Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your
Re- covery / Recharging / Recycling station, follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly and observe all safety con- siderations.
WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE CONNECTIONS BE MADE WITH THE SYSTEM IN
OPERATION OR THE VALVES OPEN. SHOULD THE VALVES BE OPEN AND A VACUUM PUMP OR
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER ATTACHED, AN EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF HIGH
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT BEING FORCED BACK INTO THE VACUUM PUMP
OR CONTAINER.
14.13.3 Stabilizing the System
Accurate test gauge data will only be attained if the system temperatures and pressures are stabilized.
Ensure that equipment and hoses cannot come into contact with engine moving parts or sources of heat.
It is recommended that a free standing air mover is placed in front of the vehicle to provide air flow through the con- denser / cooling system, see illustration below.
Start the engine, allow
it to attain normal working temperature and set at fast idle (typically 1200 to 1500 rpm). Select full air conditioning performance.
With all temperatures and pressures stable, or displaying symptoms of faults; begin relevant test procedures.
