MAINTAINING CHEMICAL STABILITY
IN THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The efficient operation and the life of the air conditioning
(A/C) system is dependent upon the chemical stability of
the refrigeration system. When foreign materials, such as
dirt, air, or moisture, contaminate the refrigeration system,
they will change the stability of the refrigerant and the poly-
alkaline glycol (PAG) compressor oil. They will also affect
the pressure–temperature relationship, reduce efficient
operation, and can possibly cause interior corrosion and
abnormal wear of moving parts.
Observe the following practices to ensure chemical stabil-
ity in the system:
S Wipe away dirt or oil at and near any connection
before opening that connection. This will reduce the
chance of dirt entering the system.
S Cap, plug, or tape both sides of a connection as
soon as possible after opening the connection. This
will prevent the entry of dirt, foreign material, and
moisture.
S Keep all tools clean and dry, including the manifold
gauge set and all replacement parts.
S Use a clean and dry transfer device and container
to add polyalkaline glycol refrigerant oil. This will
ensure that the oil remains as moisture–free as
possible. Refer to ”Discharging, Adding Oil, Eva-
cuating, and Charging Procedures for A/C System”
in this section.
S Have everything you need ready to allow you to
perform all operations quickly when opening an A/C
system. Do not leave the A/C system open any lon-
ger than necessary.
S Evacuate and recharge any A/C system that has
been opened. Refer to ”Discharging, Adding Oil,
Evacuating, and Charging Procedures for A/C Sys-
tem” in this section for the instructions to perform
this procedure properly.
All service parts are dehydrated and sealed before ship-
ping. They should remain sealed until just before making
connections. All the parts should be at room temperature
before uncapping. This prevents condensation of mois-
ture from the air from entering the system. Reseal all parts
as soon as possible.
DISCHARGING, ADDING OIL,
EVACUATING, AND CHARGING
PROCEDURES FOR A/C SYSTEM
CAUTION : Use only refillable refrigerant tanks that
are authorized for the charging station being used.
The use of other tanks may cause personal injury or
void the warranty. Refer to the manufacturer’s in-
structions for the charging station.CAUTION : To avoid personal injury, always wear
goggles and gloves when performing work that in-
volves opening the refrigeration system.
A charging station discharges, evacuates, and recharges
an air–conditioning (A/C) system with one hookup. Filter-
ing the refrigerant during the recovery cycle together with
filtering during the evacuation cycle ensures a supply of
clean, dry refrigerant for A/C system charging.
S Never use the R–134a charging station on a sys-
tem charged with R–12. The refrigerants and the
oils from each system are not compatible with
those from the other system and must never be
mixed, even in the smallest amount. Mixing refriger-
ant residue will damage the equipment.
S Never use adapters which convert from one size
fitting to another. Such use allows contamination,
which may cause system failure.
Charging Station Setup and Maintenance
There are many charging stations available. All perform
the various tasks required to discharge the system and re-
cover refrigerant, evacuate the system, add a measured
amount of oil, and recharge an A/C system with a mea-
sured amount of refrigerant. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for all initial setup procedures and all mainte-
nance procedures.
Control Panel Functions
A charging station will have controls and indicators to allow
the operator to control and monitor the operation in prog-
ress. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for details.
These can be expected to include the following:
1. Main Power Switch
S Supplies electrical power to the control panel.
2. Display
S Shows the time programmed for vacuum.
S Shows the weight of the refrigerant programmed
for recharging.
S Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for de-
tailed programming information.
3. Low–Side Manifold Gauge
S Shows the system’s low–side pressure.
4. High–Side Manifold Gauge
S Shows the system’s high–side pressure.
5. Controls Panel
S Controls the various operating functions.
6. Low–Side Valve
S Connects the low side of the A/C system to the
unit.
7. Moisture Indicator
S Shows whether the refrigerant is wet or dry.
8. High–Side Valve
S Connects the high side of the A/C system to the
unit.

Refrigerant Recovery
Important : Use only a refrigerant tank that is designed for
the charging station in use. The unit’s overfill limitation
mechanism is calibrated specifically for use with this tank.
The tank’s valves are also manufactured specifically for
this unit.
1. Attach the high–side hose with the quick disconnect
coupler to the high–side fitting of the vehicle’s A/C
system.
2. Open the coupler valve.
3. Attach the low–side hose with the quick disconnect
coupler to the low–side fitting of the vehicle’s A/C
system.
4. Open the coupler valve.
5. Check the high–side and the low–side gauges on
the unit’s control panel in order to ensure that the
A/C system has pressure. If there is no pressure,
there is no refrigerant in the system to recover.
Important : If there is no refrigerant in the system, do not
continue with the recovery operation which would, under
this condition, draw air into the recovery tank.
6. Open both the high–side and the low–side valves.
7. Open the gas and the liquid valves on the tank.
8. Drain any oil that may be in the oil separator.
9. Close the oil drain valve.
10. Plug the unit into the proper voltage outlet.
11. Turn on the main power switch.
Notice : Never reuse refrigerant oil. Damage to the A/C
system may result from such reuse. Dispose of the refrig-
erant oil properly.
12. Begin the recovery process. Refer to the manufac-
turer ’s instructions for the charging station in use.
Important : Some A/C system polyalkaline glycol (PAG)
lubricating oil may be removed with the refrigerant during
recovery. The amount of oil removed varies. A charging
station separates the oil from the refrigerant and provides
a means of determining how much oil was removed. Re-
place the same amount of oil when recharging the system.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the charging
station in use.
13. Wait 5 minutes, then check the control panel low–
side gauge. If the A/C has maintained vacuum, the
recovery is complete.
14. If the low–side gauge pressure rises above zero,
there is more refrigerant in the system. Recover the
additional refrigerant. Repeat this step until the sys-
tem maintains vacuum for 2 minutes.
Important : If the control indicator shows that the refriger-
ant tank is full during the recovery process and the unit
shuts off, install an empty unit tank to store the refrigerant
needed for steps later in the procedure. Do not use any
other type of tank.
Evacuation
The unit tank must contain a sufficient amount of R–134a
refrigerant for charging. Check the amount of refrigerant
in the tank. If there is less than 3.6 kg (8 pounds) of refrig-
erant, add new refrigerant to the tank. Refer to the
manufacturer ’s instructions for adding refrigerant.
1. Verify that the high–side and the low–side hoses
are connected to the A/C system. Open both the
high–side and the low–side valves on the unit’s
control panel.
2. Open both the gas and the liquid valves on the
tank.
Important : Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
the charging station in use. It is necessary to evacuate the
system before recharging it with new or recycled refriger-
ant.
3. Start the vacuum pump and begin the evacuation
process. Non–condensable gases (mostly air) are
vented from the tank automatically during the re-
cycling process. You may hear the pressure being
released.
4. Check for leaks in the system. Refer to the
manufacturer ’s instructions for the charging station
in use.
Important : Change the vacuum pump oil frequently. Re-
fer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the charging sta-
tion in use.
A/C System Oil Charge Replenishing
Any oil removed from the A/C system during the recovery
process must be replenished at this time.
1. Use the correct graduated bottle of PAG oil for the
R–134a system.
Important:
S Keep the oil bottles tightly capped at all times to
protect the oil from moisture and contamination.
S You must have an A/C system vacuum for this op-
eration. Never open the oil injection valve while
there is positive pressure in the A/C system. This
will result in oil blowback through the bottle vent.
S Never let the oil level drop below the pickup tube
while charging or replenishing the system, as this
will allow air into the A/C system.
2. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the
charging station in use. Add the proper amount of
PAG oil to the system.
3. Close the valve when the required oil charge has
been pulled into the system.
Charging
Important : Evacuate the A/C system before charging.
1. Close the low–side valve on the control panel.
2. Open the high–side valve on the control panel.
3. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the
charging station in use.
4. Enter the amount of refrigerant needed to charge
the A/C, making sure to use the correct system of
measurement, i.e. kilogram (kg) or pound (lb).
5. Begin the charging process.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
THE V5 A/C SYSTEM
The V5 variable displacement compressor along with the
thermal expansion valve on the evaporator, constitutes a
largely self–regulating system. There is no pressure cycl-
ing switch, no high–pressure cut–off switch and no low–
pressure cut–off switch. The compressor clutch is con-
trolled by the electronic control module (ECM), which
receives data from various engine systems and from a
pressure transducer located in the high–pressure refriger-
ant pipe. In normal operation, the clutch is engaged contin-
uously. Should one of the monitored conditions become
abnormal, the ECM will disengage the compressor clutch
until normal operation is restored. These conditions in-
clude the following:
S Wide–open throttle.
S High engine coolant temperature.
S High engine RPM.
S Refrigerant low pressure.
S Refrigerant high pressure.
The compressor clutch will remain disengaged until nor-
mal operation is established.
SYSTEM
COMPONENTS–FUNCTIONAL
Compressor
All compressors are belt–driven from the engine crank-
shaft through the compressor clutch pulley. The compres-
sor pulley rotates without driving the compressor shaft un-
til an electromagnetic clutch coil is energized. When
voltage is applied to energize the clutch coil, the clutch
plate and hub assembly is drawn rearward toward the
pulley. The magnetic force locks the clutch plate and
pulley together as one unit to drive the compressor shaft.
As the compressor shaft is driven, it compresses the low–
pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator into a
high–pressure, high–temperature vapor. The refrigerant
oil which is used to lubricate the compressor is carried with
the refrigerant. Refer to ”V5 Air Conditioning Compressor
Overhaul” in this section.
Condenser Core
The condenser assembly in front of the radiator consists
of coils which carry the refrigerant, and cooling fins that
provide the rapid transfer of heat. The air passing through
the condenser cools the high–pressure refrigerant vapor
and causes it to condense into a liquid.
Expansion Valve
The expansion valve is located with the evaporator core,
on the front passenger side fire wall.
The expansion valve can fail in three different positions:
open, closed, or restricted.
An expansion valve that fails in the open position will result
in a noisy A/C compressor or no cooling. The cause can
be a broken spring, a broken ball, or excessive moisture
in the A/C system. If the spring or the ball are found to be
defective, replace the expansion valve. If excessive mois-
ture is found in the A/C system, recycle the refrigerant.
An expansion valve that fails in the closed position will re-
sult in low suction pressure and no cooling. This may be
caused by a failed power dome or excessive moisture in
the A/C system. If the power dome on the expansion valve
is found to be defective, replace the expansion valve. If ex-
cessive moisture is found in the A/C system, recycle the
refrigerant.
A restricted expansion valve will result in low suction pres-
sure and no cooling. This may be caused by debris in the
refrigerant system. If debris is believed to be the cause, re-
cycle the refrigerant, replace the expansion valve, and re-
place the receiver–dryer.
Evaporator Core
The evaporator is a device which cools and dehumidifies
the air before it enters the vehicle. High–pressure liquid re-
frigerant flows through the expansion tube orifice and be-
comes a low–pressure gas in the evaporator. The heat in
the air passing through the evaporator core is transferred
to the cooler surface of the core, which cools the air. As the
process of heat transfer from the air to the evaporator core
surface is taking place, any moisture or humidity in the air
condenses on the outside surface of the evaporator core
and is drained off as water.
Receiver–Dryer
The sealed receiver–dryer assembly is connected to the
condenser outlet pipe. It acts as a refrigerant storing con-
tainer, receiving liquid, vapor, and refrigerant oil from the
evaporator.
At the bottom of the receiver–dryer is the desiccant, which
acts as a drying agent for the moisture that may have en-
tered the system. An oil bleed hole is located near the bot-
tom of the receiver–dryer outlet pipe to provide an oil re-
turn path to the compressor. The receiver–dryer is
serviceable only as an assembly.
Heater Core
The heater core heats the air before it enters the vehicle.
Engine coolant is circulated through the core to heat the
outside air passing over the fins of the core. The core is
functional at all times and may be used to temper condi-
tioned air in the A/C mode as well as in the heat or the vent
modes.

7B – 52IMANUAL CONTROL HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
SYSTEM COMPONENTS–CONTROL
Controller
The operation of the A/C system is controlled by the
switches and the lever on the control head. The compres-
sor clutch and the blower are connected electrically to the
control head by a wiring harness. The blower circuit is
open in the OFF mode. Airflow is provided by the four
blower speeds available in the remaining modes. Cooled
and dehumidified air is available in the MAX, NORMAL,
BI–LEVEL, and DEFROST modes.
The temperature is controlled by the position of the tem-
perature knob on the control head. A cable connects this
knob to the temperature door, which controls the airflow
through the heater core. As the temperature knob is
moved through its range of travel, a sliding clip on the
cable at the temperature valve connection should assume
a position ensuring that the temperature door will seat in
both extreme positions. The temperature door position is
independent of the mode control switch. The temperature
door on some models is controlled electrically, eliminating
the need for the temperature cable.
The electric engine cooling fan on some vehicles is not
part of the A/C control system; however, the fan is opera-
tional any time the A/C control is in the MAX, NORMAL,
or BI–LEVEL modes. Some models provide for engine
cooling fan operation when the controller is in the DE-
FROST mode. This added feature is part of the A/C con-
troller function and is aimed at preventing excessive com-
pressor head temperatures. It also allows the A/C system
to function more efficiently. On some models, the engine
cooling fan will be turned off during road speed conditions
above 56 km/h (35 mph), when the airflow though the con-
denser coil is adequate for efficient cooling. The operation
of the cooling fan is controlled by the powertrain control
module (PCM), or the engine control module (ECM),
through the cooling fan relay.
Pressure Transducer
The pressure transducer incorporates the functions of the
high–pressure and the low–pressure cutout switches
along with the fan cycling switch. The pressure transducer
is located in the high–side liquid refrigerant line near the
right front strut tower and the air filter assembly.
Wide–Open Throttle (WOT) Compressor
Cutoff
During full throttle acceleration on vehicles equipped with
multi–port injection (MPI), the throttle position sensor
(TPS) sends a signal to the PCM or the ECM, which then
controls the compressor clutch.
A/C Time Delay Relay
This relay on some vehicles controls the current to the en-
tire A/C system and provides a short delay of A/C opera-
tion upon start–up.
V5 COMPRESSOR–GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
Different vehicles with V5 compressors may exhibit differ-
ences in mounting and installation, but overhaul proce-
dures are similar.
Before removing the compressor or performing on–ve-
hicle repairs, clean the compressor connections and the
outside of the compressor.
Important : After removing a compressor from the vehicle
for servicing, drain the oil by removing the oil drain plug.
Also drain the oil from the suction and the discharge ports
to insure complete draining. Measure the amount of oil
drained, and record that amount. Discard the used oil and
add the same amount of new polyalkaline glycol (PAG) re-
frigerant oil to the compressor.
The compressor has been removed from the vehicle un-
less otherwise indicated.
Clean tools and a clean work area are important for proper
servicing. Keep dirt and foreign material from getting on or
into the compressor parts. Parts that are to be reassem-
bled should be cleaned with trichloroethane, naphtha,
stoddard solvent, kerosene, or equivalent solvents. Dry
the cleaned parts with clean dry air. Use only lint–free
cloths to wipe the parts.
V5 COMPRESSOR–DESCRIPTION OF
OPERATION
The V5 is a variable displacement compressor that can
match the automotive air conditioning (A/C) demand un-
der all conditions without cycling. The basic compressor
mechanism is a variable angle wobble–plate with five ax-
ially oriented cylinders. The center of control of the com-
pressor displacement is a bellows–actuated control valve
located in the rear head of the compressor. The control
valve senses compressor suction pressure.
The wobble–plate angle and the compressor displace-
ment are controlled by the crankcase suction pressure dif-
ferential. When the A/C capacity demand is high, the suc-
tion pressure will be above the control point. The valve will
maintain a bleed from crankcase to suction. With no
crankcase suction pressure differential, the compressor
will have maximum displacement.
When the A/C capacity demand is lower and the suction
pressure reaches the control point, the valve will bleed dis-
charge gas into the crankcase and close off a passage
from the crankcase to the suction plenum. The angle of the
wobble–plate is controlled by a force balance on the five
pistons. A slight elevation of the crankcase suction pres-
sure differential creates total force on the pistons resulting
in a movement about the wobbleplate pivot pin that re-
duces the plate angle.
The compressor has a unique lubrication system. The
crankcase suction bleed is routed through the rotating
wobble–plate for lubrication of the wobble–plate bearing.
The rotation acts as an oil separator which removes some
