DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-5
Compressor
1Pulley
2Inlet connection
3Outlet connection4Pressure relief valve
5Clutch connector
The compressor circulates the refrigerant around the system by compressing low pressure, low temperature vapour
from the evaporator and discharging the resultant high pressure, high temperature vapour to the condenser.
The compressor is attached to a mounting bracket on the engine, and is a ten cylinder swash plate unit with a fixed
displacement of 177 ml/rev (0.19 US qt/rev). The auxiliary drive belt drives the compressor via a pulley and an
electrically actuated clutch. Operation of the clutch is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
To protect the refrigerant system from unacceptably high pressure, a pressure relief valve is installed in the outlet side
of the compressor. The pressure relief valve is set to operate at 34.3 to 41.4 bars (497 to 600 lbf.in
2) and vents excess
pressure into the engine compartment.

AIR CONDITIONING
82-8DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Thermostatic expansion valve
Thermostatic expansion valve and evaporator
1Refrigerant outlet
2Refrigerant inlet3Thermostatic expansion valve
4Evaporator
The thermostatic expansion valve meters the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator to match the refrigerant flow with
the heat load of the air passing through the evaporator matrix.
The thermostatic expansion valve is installed in the heater assembly, in the refrigerant inlet line to the evaporator.
Liquid refrigerant flows through the valve to the evaporator. The restriction across the valve reduces the pressure and
temperature of the refrigerant and changes it to a fine spray, which improves the evaporation process. Valve opening
is controlled by the pressure in a capillary tube containing a temperature sensitive fluid. One end of the capillary tube
is connected to a diaphragm housing on the thermostatic expansion valve, the other end of the capillary tube is sealed
and attached to the refrigerant outlet line of the evaporator. As the temperature of the refrigerant leaving the
evaporator changes, a corresponding change of capillary tube pressure and valve opening are produced. The warmer
the refrigerant leaving the evaporator becomes, the greater the volume of refrigerant allowed through the valve.
Evaporator
The evaporator is installed in the air inlet of the heater assembly and absorbs heat from the exterior or recirculated
inlet air. Low pressure, low temperature refrigerant changes from liquid to vapour in the evaporator, absorbing large
quantities of heat as it changes state.
Refrigerant lines
To maintain similar flow velocities around the system, the diameter of the refrigerant lines varies to suit the two
pressure/temperature regimes. The larger diameters are installed in the low pressure/temperature regime and the
smaller diameters are installed in the high pressure/temperature regime. Low and high pressure charging connections
are incorporated into the refrigerant lines for system servicing. Where rear AC is installed, connections for the rear
refrigerant lines are incorporated next to the charging connections.

Recovery
1.Remove dust caps from high and low pressure
connectors.
2.Connect high and low pressure hoses to
appropriate connections.
3.Open valves on connectors.
4.Turn valves on refrigerant station to correct
positions.
Operate the refrigerant station in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.
5.Turn Process switch to correct position.
6.Turn Main switch to 'ON'.
7.Allow station to recover refrigerant from
system.
WARNING: Refrigerant must always be
recycled before re-use to ensure that the
purity of the refrigerant is high enough for
safe use in the air conditioning system.
Recycling should always be carried out with
equipment which is design certified by
Underwriter Laboratory Inc. for compliance
with SAE J1991. Other equipment may not
recycle refrigerant to the required level of
purity.
A R134a Refrigerant Recovery Recycling
Recharging Station must not be used with
any other type of refrigerant.
Refrigerant R134a from domestic and
commercial sources must not be used in
motor vehicle air conditioning systems.
8.Close valves on refrigerant station.
9.Turn Main switch to 'OFF'.
10.Close valves on connectors.
11.Disconnect connectors high and low pressure
hoses from connectors.
12.Fit dust caps to connectors. 13.Open tap at rear of station to drain refrigerant
oil.
14.Measure and record quantity of refrigerant oil
recovered from system.
15.Close tap at rear of station.
Evacuation
WARNING: Servicing must only be carried
out by personnel familiar with both the
vehicle system and the charging and testing
equipment. All operations must be carried
out in a well ventilated area away from open
flame and heat sources.
1.Remove dust caps from high and low pressure
connectors.
2.Connect high and low pressure hoses to
appropriate connections.
3.Open valves on connectors.
4.Turn valves on refrigerant station to correct
positions.
5.Turn Process switch to correct position.
6.Turn Main switch to 'ON'.
