WARNING: NEVER USE A CFC 12 ANALYZ
ER OR NAKED FLAME TYPE.
Leak tests should be carried out with a UV spot lamp or an electronic analyzer which is dedicated to HFC 134A refrigerant.
Handling Lubricati
ng Oil
Av
oid breathing lubricant mist; it can cau
s
e irritation to the respiratory system.
Always use fresh oil from a sealed containe r and do not leave oil exposed to the atmosphere for any reason other than to fill
or empty a system. PAG oil is very hygr oscopic (absorbs water) and will rapidly become contaminated by atmospheric
moisture.

PAG oil is NOT compatible with previously used mineral based oi ls and must NEVER be mixed. Do not re-use oil when it has
been separated from refrigerant, following a re covery cycle. Dispose of used oil safely.
System Maintenance
Plug pipes an
d units immediatel
y after disconnection an d do not remove the plugs until immediately before making the
connection. Do not leave the system open to atmosphere.
The receiver drier must be renewed if the compressor has failed or if it is susp ected that debris may be present in the
system.
It is not always necessary to renew th e receiver drier if the correct procedur es have been followed. However, if a
component or part of the system is left dismantled for more than five minutes, it may be advisable to renew the receiver
drier. This guidance is based on UK average humidity levels; lo cations with lower humidity levels will be less critical to
moisture contamination. It must be stressed however th at there is not a safe period for work to be carried out in.
Do not use any replacement parts su pplied without transit plugs and seals - return them to the supplier.
Diagnostic equipment for pres sure, mass and volume should be calibrated regularly and certified by a third party
organization.
Use extreme care when handling and securi ng aluminum fittings; always use a backing spanner and take special care when
handling the evaporator.
Use only the correct or re commended tools for the job and apply the manufacturer's torque specifications.
Graph - High S
ide Pressure against Ambient Temperature

Probable
causes of faults may be found by comparing actual
system pressures, registered on your manifold gauge set or
recovery / recharge / recycle station, and the relevant pressure to temperature relationship graph. The following chart
shows the interpretation that ma y be made by this difference.
• NOTE: The A/CCM will disengage the compressor clutch should the evaporator temperature fall to 0°C.
• NOTE: Graphs are typical for HFC 134A
The 'Normal' condition is that which is relevant to the prevailing evaporator temperature.
System Pressure Fault Classification
• NOTE
: If erratic or unusual gauge move
ments occur, check the equipment against a known (calibrated) manifold gauge
set.
This table should be used in conjunction with the graphical representations of 'High side' pressure / ambient temperature
and 'Low side' pressure / evaporator temperature.
Leak
Test
F
a
ults associated with low re
frigerant charge weight and low pressure ma y be caused by leakage. Leaks traced to
mechanical connections may be caused by to rque relaxation or joint face contamination. Evidence of oil around such areas
is an indicator of leakage.
Models that have fluorescent tracer dye incorporated into the refrigeration system can be checke d for non-apparent leaks by
scanning with a high intensity ultraviolet lamp. The location of leaks can be pinpointed by the bright yellow glow of the
tracer dye.
CAUTION: Observe ALL safety precautions associated with ultraviolet equipment.
Should a leak be traced to a joint, check that the fixing is secured to the correct tightening torque before taking any other
action.
When examining the system for leaks, chec k the compressor shaft seal and evaporator.
Charge Re
covery (system depressurization)
The process of
charge r
ecovery will depe
nd on the basic characteristics of your chosen recovery / recycle / recharge
equipment, therefore, follow the manu facturer's instructions carefully.
Remember that compressor oil may be drawn out during this process, take note of the quantity recovered so that it may be

E

vacuating the System
This process, the removal
of un
wanted air and moisture, is crit ical to the correct operation of the air conditioning system.
Moisture in the system can be highly de structive and may cause internal blockages due to freezing; water suspended in the
lubricating oil will dama ge the compressor. Once the system has been dismantled, or the refrigerant charge recovered, all
traces of moisture must be removed before recharging.
Specific procedures will vary depending on the individual characteristics of the recovery / recycle / recharge equipment, and
must be carried out exactly in accordance with the manufacturer 's instructions. However, it is recommended that initially
only the high-side valve be opened at the start of the procedure. After a short time a small depression should be seen on
the low-side, at which point the low-side valve may be opened and the evacuation process completed. If a vacuum is not
registered on the low-side, it may indicate that the expansion valve is permanently closed or that the system is blocked.
This simple check may save time and effort when the system is recharged.
