AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-3
Description
General
The air conditioning system controls the temperature, distribution and volume of air supplied to the vehicle interior to
provide a comfortable cabin environment. The system is electronically controlled and features automatic and manual
modes of operation, with separate temperature control of the LH and RH air outlets. The automatic modes provide
optimum control of the system under most ambient conditions and require no manual intervention. The manual modes
allow individual functions of automatic operation to be overridden, to accommodate personal preferences.
The air conditioning system consists of a refrigerant system, a heater assembly and a control system. It also uses the
same air inlet duct and distribution ducts as the Heating and Ventilation system on non air conditioned vehicles.

+ HEATING AND VENTILATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Fresh or recirculated inlet air flows into the heater assembly from the blower in the air inlet duct. In the heater
assembly, the air is cooled and/or heated, depending on the selected cabin temperature and ambient conditions, then
directed to selected air outlets.
On vehicles with rear air conditioning, additional cooling is provided by recirculating air through a second evaporator
and distributing it to outlets in the roof.

+ AIR CONDITIONING, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.

AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 82-25
Blower
The blower controls the volume of air being supplied to the distribution outlets. The blower is an open hub, centrifugal
fan powered by an electric motor. A dust filter is installed over the fan inlet. The blower switch on the control panel
and the resistor pack control the operation of the blower, which can be selected to run at one of four speeds.
Resistor pack
The resistor pack supplies reduced voltages to the blower motor for blower speeds 1, 2 and 3. For blower speed 4,
the resistor pack is bypassed and battery voltage drives the motor at full speed. The pack is installed in the air outlet
from the blower fan, so that any heat generated is dissipated by the air flow.
Distribution system
Air ducts
Ducts connected to the rear evaporator/blower motor assembly distribute air to five vent assemblies in the roof.
Vent assemblies
The vent assemblies allow occupants to control the flow and direction of air. Each vent assembly incorporates a
thumbwheel to regulate flow and moveable vanes to control direction.
Rear control system
The control system operates the blower to control the operation of the rear A/C. The control system consists of two
control switches and a rear blower relay.
Control switches
A rear A/C switch and a blower speed switch are installed on a control panel in the roof lining. The A/C switch is a
latching pushswitch with an amber indicator lamp which illuminates when rear A/C is selected on. The blower speed
switch is a slide switch with a positive detent at each of four speed positions (there is no off position).
Rear blower relay
The rear blower relay controls the electrical supply to the blower.

AIR CONDITIONING
82-26DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation
The rear A/C only operates if the front A/C is on to pump refrigerant through the rear evaporator/blower assembly.
When the rear A/C switch is selected on, the indicator lamp in the switch illuminates and the rear blower relay is
energised. The rear blower relay switches battery power to the blower motor, which runs at the speed selected on the
blower speed switch.
The air from the blower passes through the evaporator matrix, which absorbs heat from the air. The cooled air is then
supplied to the roof vents through the distribution ducts. The heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator is
sensed by the thermostatic expansion valve. The thermostatic expansion valve then opens and regulates the flow of
refrigerant through the evaporator in proportion to the amount of heat being absorbed from the air.
When the rear A/C switch is selected off, the blower stops. The thermostatic expansion valve senses the subsequent
decrease in temperature of the refrigerant in the evaporator. The thermostatic expansion valve then closes and stops
the flow of refrigerant, except for a minimal bleed flow.
