CONDITIONING
SPECIAL FEATURES: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (R 134.a)
Changing the filtering/drying cartridge
Move aside the radiator/condenser assembly.
Remove the plug (6), using tool [2].
Support the radiator/condenser assembly thus moved aside.
Remove the filtering/drying cartridge (7), using pliers.
Refitting.
Refit the filtering/drying cartridge (7).
Clean the threads of the plug (6).
It is essntial to change the O-ring seals (8).
Lubricate the O-ring seals (8)with aircon compressor oil.

CHECKING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Interpretation of the measurements.
«m»:High pressure.«s»:Over-heating (SC).
«n»:High temperature.«t»:Ambient air temperature.
«p»:Under-cooling (SR).«u»:Blown air temperature.
«q»:Low pressure.«v»: Humidity.
«r»:Low temperature.«w»: Temperature T3.
Under-cooling.
The under-cooling represents the difference between the condensation temperature and the aircon
fluid temperature at the aircon condenser outlet.
The under-cooling gives the quantity of aircon fluid
(in the liquid state)in the air conditioning circuit.
Values for under-cooling (SR).
