Compressor
FUN CTION
The compressor is suction the vapors com-
ing from evaporator at low temperature and
pressure, compress them and transmit the gas
at high temperature and pressure towards con-
denser. The refrigerant fluid in entering in condenser
in vapors condition, at high temperature and
pressure, where, by condensing, is transmittin g
in the external environment the abstracted heat.
At condenser exit, the refrigerant fluid is in
liquid condition, at high pressure and tempera-
ture.
DISMOUNTIN G
Drain the refrigerant c ircuit t o a charging
station.
Disconnect the battery.
Disconnect the supply wiring connector of
the compressor clutch.
Dismount the screw of attachment clamp
of the refrigerant pipes on compressor.
Cover the open piping with protectors.
Dismount the compressor-driving belt.
Dismount the four compressor attachment
screws.
Extract the compressor.
REMOU NT I NG
In case compressor is replaced, this one is
delivered filled with oil. Position the compressor with the filling cap
upwards. Mount the compressor attachment screws.
Tighten the compressor attachment screws
to the required moment of 2,1 daNm.
Remount the two refrigerant pipes and
tighten t he attachment clamp screw to the re-
quired moment of 1,2 daNm.
Mount the compressor -driving belt and ten-
sion it by acting upon the screw ( 1) according
to the method descri bed in chapter 07 “ Ac-
cessories belts tensioning”.
The tensioning values are :
150 - 155 Hz - compressor belt;
214 – 230 Hz – DA pump/compressor belt.
Connect the supply wire connector of the
compressor clutch. Vacuum and fill the circuit with refrigerant
fluid HFC 134a , by means of the charging sta-
tion (see chapter 62 “Draining – Filling unit
refrigerant circuit” ).
REMARK :
Before mounting c heck t he condition
of t he gaskets and lubri cate them wi th
compressor oil PAG SP 10.

Condenser
SPECIAL TOOLS
MOT 453Hoses clamp

The condenser is placed on the c ooling
radiator, ensuring the exhaust of the refrigerant
heat accumulated at compression.
DISMOUNTING
Disconnect the battery.
Drain the AC unit and recover t he oil and
the refrigerant fluid at the charging station.
Dismount the front grill.
Dismount the air filter inlet pipe.
Dismount the engine fan off the radiator.
Disconn ect the pipes from the condenser and
immediately close the disconnected pipes ends
and the condenser connections with protection
caps in order to avoid humidity and impurities
penetration in circuit.
Clamp the hoses from the radiator by means
of the MOT 453 device.
Di smount the hoses from the radiator by
means of the elastic clips pliers MOT 1202-01 ,
recovering the cooling fluid.
Dismount the radiator side attachment
supports on the radiator upper cross beam and
release the radiator together with the condenser.
Re l e a se t he condense r f rom t he four
attachment screws on the radiator.
REMOU NT I NG
Perform the dismounting operations in the
reverse order.
Tighten to t he required m oment the pipes

- thread 5/8 “ 1,0 – 1,4 daNm
Fill the AC unit with refrigerant fluid HFC
134a (0,600 Kg) by means of the charging unit.
Check for refrigerant fluid leaks.
Fill and purge the cooling circuit.
Check the good operation of the AC unit.
REMARK :
When mounting, line up the marks of
the hoses and mating parts .

Pressure controller
LOCATION
Pressure controller (1) is located on the high-
pressure pipe, near the dryer reservoir.
FUNCTION
The pre ssure control ler is perm anently
informing UCE (electronic control unit) about
the circuit pressure. Subject to pressure value in the high-
pressure circuit, UCE is commanding:
- circuit break ( by uncoupling the compressor
clutch) when the pre ssure in the c ircuit is
decreasing under 1,96 + /-0,2 bar a nd clutch
coupling when the pressure is over 2,16 +/-
0,2 bar;
- circuit break when the pressure in the circuit
is over 31,4 +/- 2 bar and compressor clutch
coupling when the pressure is decreasing under
25,5 +/- 2 bar;
- engine fan starting on second speed, when
the pressure is over 17,7 +/- 1 bar and engine
fan stopping when the pressure is decreasing
under 13.7 +/- 1 bar.
REPLAC EMEN T
The pressure controller replacement does
not imply the draining of the refrigerant circuit. Disc
onnect the pressure controller
connector.
Replace the pressure controller.
When m ounting, lubricate the pressure
controller sealing gasket with oil PAG SP 10.
T ighten the pressure controller to the required
moment of 0,9 +/- 0,1 daNm.
Check for refrigerant fluid leaks.

Filter reservoir
Filter reservoir (1) is attached by means of a
support collar on the right longitudinal girder.
Its function in the AC unit operation is : -filtering the refrigeran t fluid;
-r etaining the humidity from the unit;
-f orming of a buffer stock of refrigerant
fluid.
The particles interception is necessary because
it might block the thermostatic expansion vale
operation or produce compressor mobile parts
wear or gripping. The filter reservoir is not to be repaired.
DISMOUNTIN G
Disconnect the battery.
Drain the AC unit.
Dism ount t he pi pi ng a nd pro t e c t wi t h
protection caps in order to avoid humidity
penetration. Dismount the filter reservoir off the support
collar and release it.
REMOU NT I NG
Perform the dismounting operations in the
reverse order. Fill the AC unit with refrigerant fluid HFC
134a (0,600 Kg) by means of the c harging
station.
Check for refrigerant fluid leaks.
When replacing the filter reservoir, fill in
the circuit with 15 ml of oil PA G S P 10 .
REMARK
The tightening required moment of
the pipes nuts at the filter reservoir is of
1,4 –2 daNm.
The required tightening moment of
the attachmen t screw of the filter
re servoir support is of 0,7 daNm.
