AUTION: Only use hoses with connectors wh
ich are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.
Stabilizing the System

1.
At
tach the center (service) hose to a vacuum pump and start
the pump. Open fully both high and low valves and allow the
vacuum to remove air and mois ture from the manifold set for
at least five minutes.
CAUTION: It is imperative th at the vacuum pump is not
subjected to a positi ve pressure of any degree. Therefore the
pump must be fitted wi th an isolation valve at the center (service
hose) connection and this valve mu st be closed before the pump
is switched off. This operation replaces the 'purge' procedure used
on previous systems. Observe the manufacturer's
recommendation with regard to vacuum pump oil changes.
Turn the vacuum pump off and isol ate it from the center service
hose but do not open the hose to atmosphere.
1. Att
achment of the hose quick release connectors to the high
and low side system ports is stra ightforward, provided that the
high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT
operational.
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.
Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault
classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your
Recovery / Recharging / Recycling station, follow the
manufacturer's instructions implicitly and observe all safety
considerations.
1. Accurate test gauge data wi
ll on
ly be attained if the system
temperatures and pressures are stabilized.
E
nsure that equipment and hoses cannot come into
contact with engine moving parts or sources of heat.
It is recommended th at a free standing air
mover is placed
in front of the vehicle to provide air flow through the
condenser / cooling system.
St
art the engine, allow it to attain normal working
temperature and set at fast idle (typically 1200 to 1500
rpm).

Select full

air condit
ioning performance.
With
all temperatures and pres
sures stable, or displaying
symptoms of faults; begin relevant test procedures.

ral Procedures
CAUTION: Always decant fresh oil from a sealed container and do not leave oil exposed to the atmosphere. PAG oil is
very hygroscopic (absorbs wate r) 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.
Original Compressor

New Compressor
1. The amount of oi
l drawn out during a recovery procedure will
be dependent on the state of the system and the rate of
recovery. The quantity will be a pproximately 30 to 40 ml.; this
may vary, and the figure is given only for guidance.
The oil separator vessel in the recovery equipment must be
clean and empty at the start of the process, so that the quantity
of oil which is drawn out may be accurately measured.
• NOTE: The equipment manufactu rer's instructions must be
followed when adding oil directly into an original, or new unit,
owing to rectification work to the existing compressor, or the
need to fit a new compressor.
Oil may be added to the system either via the recovery, recycle
and recharge station or by us ing a proprietary oil injector.
Alternatively, if the compress or has been removed from the
vehicle, the oil may be added directly to the compressor.
1. From an existing compressor, drain the oil into a measuring
cylinder and record the amount. Fl ush the unit out with fresh oil
and drain thoroughly. Replenish the compressor with the same
amount of oil that was originally drained out and immediately
plug all orifices ready for refitting to the vehicle.
1. Drain and discard th e transit lubricating oil from the new
compressor before it is be fitted.
To avoid over-filling the system, an allowance must be made for
the quantity of oil found in the original compressor and the
quantity deposite d in the recovery equipment oil separator from
the charge recovery operation.
Typical example:
D rained
from original compressor - 50 ml.
R
e
covered from oil separator - 40 ml.
Q
u
antity to be put in new compressor - 50 + 40 = 90 ml.
2. The difference between the combined total quantity of
recovered and drained oil and the nominal capacity of the
system (180 ml.), is due to th e quantity of oil remaining in
components such as the cond enser, receiver drier or
evaporator. This oil is no t normally recoverable.
The same procedure may be followed if a problem has occurred
due to oil leakage, as the amount of oil lost is generally small. If
the recovery process has no t been necessary, because
refrigerant has also been lost, then only the quantity drained
from the original compress or needs to be replaced.
