SERVICEPROCEDURES

Maintenance ofLubricant Quantityin
Compressor

The lubricant inthe compressor circulatesthroughthesystem
with therefrigerant. Addlubricant tocompressor whenreplac-
ing any component orafter alarge gasleakage occurred. Itis
important tomaintain thespecified amount.
If lubricant quantityisnot maintained properly,thefollowing
malfunctions mayresult:
• Lack oflubricant: Maylead toaseized compressor
• Excessive lubricant:Inadequate cooling(thermal exchange
interference)

LUBRICANT

Name: Nissan
Ale
System OilType R
Part number:
KLHOO-PAGRO

CHECKING ANDADJUSTING

Adjust thelubricant quantityaccording tothe flowchart shown
below.

START
~

Can lubricant returnoperation beper- Yes
Perform lubricant returnoperation, proceeding asfollows:
formed?
-+

• AIC
system worksproperly. 1.Start engine, andsetthefollowing conditions:
• There isno evidence ofalarge amount •Test condition
of lubricant leakage. Engine
speed:Idlingto1,200 rpm
AlC orAUTO switch: ON
No Blowerspeed:Max.position
Temp. control: Optional [Setsothat Intake airtemperature is
25 to30°C (77to86°F).]
2. Next itemisfor V-5 orV-6 compressor. Connectthemanifold
gauge, andcheck thatthehigh pressure sidepressure is588 kPa
(5.9 bar, 6kg/cm
2,
85psi) orhigher,

If
less than thereference level,attach acover tothe front faceof

~
the
condenser toraise thepressure.
Should thecompressor bereplaced?
3.

Perform lubricant returnoperation forabout 10minutes.

4.
Stop engine.
No Yes
CAUTION:

If
excessive lubricantleakageisnoted, donot perform thelubricant
return operation.
