AIR CONDITIONING 1B Ð 5
With some compressors the differential between
the intake pressure and discharge pressure
generated while the compressor is operating is
used for lubrication instead of an oil pump.
The specified amount of the DKV-14D, DKS-15CH
and HD6 compressors oil is 150cc (4.2 Imp fl oz).
Also, compressor oil to be used varies according to
the compressor model. Be sure to avoid mixing
two or more different types of oil.
If the wrong oil is used, lubrication will be poor and
the compressor will seize or malfunction.
The magnetic clutch connector is a waterproof type.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH
The compressor is driven by the drive belt from the
crank pulley of the engine. If the compressor is
activated each time the engine is started, this
causes too much load to the engine. The magnetic
clutch transmits the power from the engine to the
compressor and activates it when the air
conditioning is ÒONÓ. Also, it cuts off the power
from the engine to the compressor when the air
conditioning is ÒOFFÓ. (Magnetic clutch repair
procedure can be found in Section 1D.)
CONDENSER
The condenser assembly in front of the radiator,
which carry the refrigerant and cooling fins to
provide rapid transfer of heat.
Also, it functions to cool and liquefy the high-
pressure and high-temperature vapor sent from the
compressor by the radiator fan or outside air.
A condenser may malfunction in two ways: it may
leak, or it may be restricted. A condenser restriction
will result in excessive compressor discharge
pressure. If a partial restriction is present, the
refrigerant expands after passing through the
restriction.
Thus, ice or frost may from immediately after the
restriction. If air flow through the condenser or
radiator is blocked, high discharge pressures will
result. During normal condenser operation, the
refrigerant outlet line will be slightly cooler than the
inlet line.
The vehicle is equipped with the condenser of the
parallel flow type condenser. A larger thermal
transmission area on the inner surface of the tube
allows the radiant heat to increase and the
ventilation resistance to decrease.
The refrigerant line connection has a bolt at the
block joint, for easy servicing.
RECEIVER/DRIER
The receiver/drier performs four functions;
·As the quantity of refrigerant circulated varies
depending on the refrigeration cycle conditions,
sufficient refrigerant is stored for the refrigera-
tion cycle to operate smoothly in accordance
with fluctuations in the quantity circulated.
·The liquefied refrigerant from the condenser is
mixed with refrigerant gas containing air
bubbles. If refrigerant containing air bubbles is
sent to the expansion valve, the cooling
capacity will decrease considerably. Therefore,
the liquid and air bubbles are separated and
only the liquid is sent to the expansion valve.
·The receiver/drier utilizes a filter and dryer to
remove the dirt and water mixed in the cycling
refrigerant.
·The sight glass, installed atop the receiver/
drier, show the state of the refrigerant.
A receiver/drier may fail due to a restriction inside
the body of the unit. A restriction at the inlet to the
receiver/drier will cause high pressures.
Outlet restrictions will be indicated by low pressure
and little or no cooling. An excessively cold
receiver/ drier outlet may indicate a restriction.
The receiver/drier of this vehicle is made of
aluminum with a smaller tank. It has 300 cc
(8.5 Imp fl oz) refrigerant capacity.
The refrigerant line connection has a bolt at the
block joint, for easy servicing.

solvent, and dried with dry air. Use only lint free
cloths to wipe parts.
The operations described below are based on
bench overhaul with compressor removed from the
car, except as noted. They have been prepared in
order of accessibility of the components. When the
compressor is removed from the car for servicing,
the oil remaining in the compressor should be
discarded and new refrigerant oil added to the
compressor.
Magnetic clutch assembly repair procedures require
that the system be discharged of refrigerant. (Refer
to Section 1B for ÒREFRIGERANT RECOVERYÓ.)
Compressor malfunction will appear in one of four
ways: noise, seizure, leakage or low discharge
pressure. Resonant compressor noises are not
cause for alarm; however, irregular noise or rattles
may indicate broken parts or excessive clearances
due to wear. To check seizure, de-energize the
magnetic clutch and check to see if the drive plate
can be rotated. If rotation is impossible, the
compressor is seized. Low discharge pressure may
be due to a faulty internal seal of the compressor,
or a restriction in the compressor. Low discharge
pressure may also be due to an insufficient
refrigerant charge or a restriction elsewhere in the
system. These possibilities should be checked prior
to servicing the compressor. If the compressor is
inoperative, but is not seized, check to see if current
is being supplied to the magnetic clutch coil
terminals.
The compressor has vanes built into a rotor which
is mounted on a shaft.
When the shaft rotates, the vanes built into the
cylinder block assembly are opened by centrifugal
force.
This changes the volume of the space formed by
the rotor and cylinder, resulting in the intake and
compression of the refrigerant gas. The discharge
valve and the valve stopper, which protects the
discharge valve, are built into the cylinder block
assembly. There is no suction valve but a shaft seal
is installed between the shaft and head; a trigger
valve, which applies back pressure to the vanes, is
installed in the cylinder block and a refrigerant gas
temperature sensor is installed in the front head.
The specified quantity of compressor oil is
contained in the compressor to lubricate the various
parts using the refrigerant gas discharge pressure.
6VD1 engine is equipped with an invariable
capacity five-vane rotary compressor (DKV-14D
Type).
The compressor sucks and compresses refrigerant
by the rotation of the vane installed to the shaft,
and always discharges a fixed amount of refrigerant
independent of the load of refrigerant.The thermo sensor is installed to the front head of
the compressor to protect it by stopping its
operation when the refrigerant gas is insufficient or
when the temperature get abnormally high.
·OFF ..... 160 ±5¡C (320.0 ±9.0¡F)
·ON ..... 135 ±5¡C (275.0 ±9.0¡F)
4JG2 Engine are provided with a swash plate type
compressor (DKS-15CH Type)
Swash plate compressors have a swash (slanted)
plate mounted on the shaft. When the shaft turns,
the rotation of the swash plate is converted to
reciprocating piston motion which sucks in and
compresses the refrigerant gas.
Shaft seal (Lip type) is installed between the valve
plate and shaft & cylinder head to prevent
refrigerant gas leaks. A specified amount of
compressor oil is contained in the oil pan.
This oil is supplied to the cylinders, bearings, etc.,
by an oil pump which is connected to the swash
plate shaft.
With some compressors the differential between
the intake pressure and discharge pressure
generated while the compressor is operating is
used for lubrication instead of an oil pump.
Three pistons are arranged at 120g intervals around
the center of the swash plate shaft. These pistons
are connected to the ends of the swash plate
through shoe disks and balls.
The rotation of the swash plate causes
reciprocating movement of the piston inside the
cylinders, with each piston operating as two
cylinders. Because of that, the compressor operates
as though it has 6 cylinders.
The specified amount of the compressors oil is
150cc (4.2 Imp fl oz).
Also, compressor oil to be used varies according to
the compressor model. Be sure to avoid mixing two
or more different types of oil.
If the wrong oil is used, lubrication will be poor and
the compressor will seize or malfunction.
