2001 NISSAN ALMERA N16 Air condition

+When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
+Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
+Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
+Always replace used O-rings.
+When connecting tube, apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration. Be careful not
to apply lubricant to threaded portion.
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type R for DKV-11G compressor
Part number: KLH00-PAGR0
Lubricant name: Nissan A/C System Oil Type S for CSV613 compressor
Part number: KLH00-PAGS0
+O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
+When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
+Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
+After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

Precautions for Servicing CompressorNJHA0116+Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
+When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
+When replacing or repairing compressor, follow ªMaintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compres-
sorº exactly. Refer to HA-86.
+Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with
lubricant, wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
+After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in
both directions. This will equally distribute lubricant inside the compressor. After the compressor
is installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
+After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation.

CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor
GENERAL INFORMATIONNJHA02061. The CSV613 compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the CSV613 compressor
do not drop too far below 5ÉC (41ÉF) when:
+evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20ÉC (68ÉF)
+engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the CSV613 compressor provides a means of ªcapacityº control.
2. The CSV613 compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it may
not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air condi-
tioning systems.
3. A ªclankingº sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt
angle of the swash plate has changed and is not a problem.
4. For air conditioning systems with the CSV613 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the sys-
tem main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are
low or when the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.
5. A constant range of suction pressure is maintained when engine speed is greater than a certain value. It
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.47 to 1.77 bar, 1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm
2, 21 to 26 psi) under varying con-
ditions.
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed.

Operational Check=NJHA0130The purpose of the operational check is to confirm that the system
operates properly.
CONDITIONS:NJHA0130S01+Engine running and at normal operating temperature.
NHA374
PROCEDURE:NJHA0130S021. Check BlowerNJHA0130S02011. Turn fan switch to 1-speed.
Blower should operate on 1-speed.
2. Then turn fan switch to 2-speed, and continue checking blower
speed until all speeds are checked.
3. Leave blower on 4-speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for blower motor (HA-54).
If OK, continue with next check.
NHA375
2. Check Discharge AirNJHA0130S02021. Turn mode control knob to each position.

2. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air dis-
tribution table at left.
Refer to ªDischarge Air Flowº, HA-20.
