filter the refrigerant. The orifice tube is used to meter the flow of
liquid refrigerant into the evaporator core.
HIGH PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH
High pressure cut-out switch is located on compressor
discharge line, near compressor. On Dakota and Ram Pickup, it is
connected in series with the clutch cycling pressure switch and
control panel, between ground and PCM.
On Durango, it is connected in series with the electronic
cycling clutch switch, low pressure cut-out switch and control panel,
between ground and PCM. PCM controls compressor clutch operation.
On all models, when discharge pressure reaches 450-490 psi
(31.6-34.5 kg/cm
), high pressure cut-out switch interrupts A/C
request signal to PCM. PCM de-energizes compressor clutch relay,
disengaging compressor clutch. When discharge pressure drops to 270-
330 psi (23.2-19 kg/cm
) switch will close, thus restoring A/C request
signal to PCM.
HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
High pressure relief valve is located on compressor manifold.
Valve vents system pressure if pressure is greater than 500-600 psi
(35.1-42.2 kg/cm
). Valve will reset when pressure decreases to 400
psi (28.1 kg/cm).
LOW PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH OPERATION
Durango
Low pressure cut-out switch is located on suction line near
firewall. It is connected in series with the electronic cycling clutch
switch, high pressure cut-out switch and control panel, between ground
and PCM. PCM controls compressor clutch operation.
When discharge pressure reaches 10 psi (.7 kg/cm
), switch
interrupts A/C request signal to PCM. PCM de-energizes compressor
clutch relay, disengaging compressor clutch. When discharge pressure
increases to 13-27 psi (.9-1.9 kg/cm
), switch will close thus
restoring A/C request signal to PCM.
ADJUSTMENTS
