EXPANSION VALVE
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK QUANTITY OF GAS DURING REFRIGERATION CYCLE
2. INSTALL MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
3. RUN ENGINE
(a) Run the engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 5 minutes.
(b) Then check that the high pressure reading is 1.37 − 1.57 MPa (14 − 16 kgf/cm
2, 199 − 228 psi).
4. CHECK EXPANSION VALVE
If the expansion valve is faulty, the low pressure reading will drop to 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm
2, 0 psi).
HINT:
When the low pressure drops to 0 kPa (0 kgf/cm
2, 0 psi), feel the receiver’s IN and OUT sides for zero temper-
ature difference.
