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.

The refrigerant system transfers heat from the vehicle interior to the outside atmosphere to provide the heater
assembly with dehumidified cool air. The system comprises a compressor, condenser, receiver drier, thermostatic
expansion valve and evaporator, joined together by refrigerant lines. The system is a sealed, closed loop, filled with
a charge weight of R134a refrigerant as the heat transfer medium. Oil is added to the refrigerant to lubricate the
internal components of the compressor.

1Refrigerant outlet

3Thermostatic 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.
