ITIONING UNIT
DISMOUNTING
Make the unit functioning for at least 10 minutes (if the unit permits).
Drain the circuit at the filling equipment.
Measure the quantity of recovered refrigerated fluid.
Release the access to the component that is needed to be changed.
Disconnect the connections.
In order to avoid the moisture infiltration, protect with protection covers.
Dismount the component.
REMOUNTING
P ut special c ompressor oil on the new elements thread and on the gaskets.
AT TENT ION
The new components must be obligatory provided with protection c overs.
Remove t he protection covers, connect the new component on t he free connection,
and tighten it by hand.
Place the component correctly.
Tighten it at couple.
Refill with refrigerant fluid and oil.
The filling up with oil for different repairs is to be performed as follows: add in the charging
equipment container, the recovered oil quantity, plus an oil quantity, as it follows:
- sudden damaged of one of the unit’s element or leakage 100ml
- condenser replacement 30 ml
- evaporator replacement 30 ml
- dryer filter replacement 15 ml
- pipe replacement 10 ml
For compressor dismounting/remounting without replacement add 120 ml.
If there are signs of moisture in the air conditioning circuit, replace the dryer filter tank.

DRAINING /FILLING THE REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
DRAINING
Connect the charging equipment piping to the filling-draining valves.
Perform the vacuuming of the air condition unit with the recovering of the oil and the refriger-
ant fluid. Close the hoses valves.
Disconnect the charging equipment piping and stop the equipment.
FILLING
Attach the draining – filling hoses of the equipment to the air conditioning unit valves.
Put compressor specific oil t ype SP 10 in the charging equipment vessel.

Basically, the air conditioning unit is formed of a closed circuit, composed by the following main
elem ents:
- ev aporator
- compre ssor
- c ondenser
- thermo static expansion valve
- conn ection pipes.
The evaporator is the component that ex t racts the heat from the passengers compartment and
is generally placed in the passengers compartment. In order to cool the passengers compartment
the hot air must be absorbed, the heat extracted and the “cooled” air redistributed. The hot air is
pa ssing through the evaporator to who is giving part of the temperature reducing so, its own
temperature. The cooled air is so conveyed in the passengers compartment, progressively reducing
the temperature.
In the same time, the refrigerant fluid which goes into the evaporator, is absorbing the heat, from
ai r pa ssing through the evaporator and at the same temperature, is transforming it from liquid into
va pors. At the evaporator exit, the refrigerant fluid is in vapor condition.
The evaporator is placed in the climate control unit and is protected by cases.

REMOUNTING
Perform the dismounting
operations in the reverse order.
Fill the refrigerant circuit and check the good operation of the climate control system.
NOTE
Ensure that evaporator finned plates are not deformed and they are not excessive
dirty.
The tightening nuts for the climate and conditioning assembly, the connections for piping,
condenser and filter tank, must have the following tightening moments:
- thread 3/4” – 16 pitch/l” – at t he moment 18-20 Nm;
- thread 5/8” - 18 pitch/l” – at the m oment 14-20 Nm.
The tightening moment of the compressor flange attachment screw -12+/-1,2 Nm.
The tightening moment of the thermostatic probe attachment screw -5,7+/-0,5 Nm.
The tightening moment of the pressure capture - 20,7+/-2 Nm.
NOTE
After each operation that implies t he disconnection of t he battery, at its reconnection,
introduce the radio code that is written on the vehicle-selling invoice. EVAPORATOR

The compressor is absorbing the vapors coming from the evaporator at low pressure and
temperature, is compressing them and convey the gas at high temperature and pressure. The refrigerant fluid in high pressure and temperature vapor condition is entering in the second
he at exchanger, which by condensation is transmitting the heat to the external environmental.
At the exit from the condenser, the refrigerant fl uid is in liquid condition, at a high pressure and temperature.

THE CONDENSER
The condenser is placed on the cooling radiator, in the front part of the vehicle and is ensuring
the exhaust of the refrigerant heat accumulated at compression.
In order to grant the optimum condenser operation, frequently check if its outside surfaces are
always clean and the air penetration is not stopped. Also, check the condenser pipes in order not
to show deformations. CONDENSER

PRESSURE CONTROLLER
(low pressure, high pressure, medium pressure, in accordance
with the specification) or pressure capture
- low pressure – disconnect when the pressure in the low pressure circuit is lower than
1,96 +/-0,2 bar , reestablishing at a higher pressure than 2,16 +/- 0,2 bar; - higher pressure – disconnect when the pressure in the high pressure circuit is higher than
31,4 +/-2 bar , reestablishing at a higher pre ssure than 25,5 +/-2 bar; - medium pre ssure - start s the bl ower on t he second level speed, when t he pressure i s
higher than 17,7+/-1bar and stops the blower at a lower pressure 13,7+/- 1,2.
Thermostatic expansion valve allows the reduction of the refrigerant liquid pressure which is
coming from t he condenser, passing through the tank filter and i s continuously adjusting the
refrigerant flow from the evaporator, to reach the compressor in vapor condition. PRESSURE CONTROLLER
The good operation of the air conditioning unit is ensured by a dryer filter tank that ha s the
purpose to protect the unit. The filter’s purpose is to absorb the eventually solid particles found
in the oil and refrigerant liquid circulation.
The interception is needed as they might block the operation of the thermostatic expansion
valve or may produce the compressor mobile parts worn or gripping.
DETECTION OF REFRIGERANT F LUID LEAKAGE
In order to detect the refrigerant liquid leakage, it is used a detector, calibrated to detect
leakage of 9gr. /year.
