REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION
General
The variable compressor is basically a swash plate type that changes piston stroke in response to the required
cooling capacity.
The tilt of the wobble (swash) plate allows the piston’s stroke to change so that refrigerant discharge can be
continuously changed from 13.5 to 146 cm
3 (0.824 to 8.91 cu in).

Operation
1. Operation Control Valve
Operation control valve is located in the suction port (low-pressure) side, and opens or closes in response
to changes in refrigerant suction pressure.
Operation of the valve controls the internal pressure of the crankcase.
The angle of the wobble (swash) plate is controlled between the crankcase’s internal pressure and the
piston cylinder pressure.
2. Maximum Cooling
Refrigerant pressure on the low-pressure side increases with an increase in heat loads.
When this occurs, the control valve’s bellows compress to open the low-pressure side valve and close the
high-pressure side valve.
This causes the following pressure changes:
–The crankcase’s internal pressure to equal the pressure on the low-pressure side;
–The cylinder’s internal pressure to be greater than the crankcase’s internal pressure.
Under this condition, the wobble (swash) plate is set to the maximum stroke position.
3. Capacity Control
–Refrigerant pressure on suction side is low during high speed driving or when ambient or interior tempera-
ture is low.
–The bellows expands when refrigerant pressure on the suction pressure side drops below approximately
177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/cm
2 , 26 psi).
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high-pressure enters the crankcase.
–The force acts around the journal pin near the swash (wobble) plate, and is generated by the pressure dif-
ference between before and behind the piston.
The drive lug and journal pin are located where the piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pres-
sure is between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressure Pd, which is near suction pressure Ps. If
crankcase pressure Pc rises due to capacity control, the force around the journal pin makes the wobble
(swash) plate angle decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLPFP:27500
Description of Air Conditioner LAN Control SystemEJS000TI
The LAN (Local Area Network) system consists of auto amp., mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake
door motor.
A configuration of these components is shown in the diagram below.
System ConstructionEJS000TJ
A small network is constructed between the auto amp., air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door
motor. The auto amp. and motors are connected by data transmission lines and motor power supply lines. The
LAN network is built through the ground circuits of each door motor.
Addresses, motor opening angle signals, motor stop signals and error checking messages are all transmitted
through the data transmission lines connecting the auto amp. and each door motor.
The following functions are contained in LCUs built into air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door
motor.

Address

Motor opening angle signal

Data transmission

Motor stop and drive decision

Opening angle sensor (PBR function)

Comparison

Decision (Auto amp. indicated value and motor opening angle comparison)
OPERATION
The auto amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The auto amp. sends mode door, air mix door and
intake door opening angle data to the mode door motor LCU, air mix door motor LCU and intake door motor
LCU.
The mode door motor, air mix door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amp. and each of the motor position
sensors is compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subsequently,
HOT/COLD, DEFROST/VENT or FRESH/RECIRCULATION operation is selected. The new selection data is
returned to the auto amp.

9. CHECK MALFUNCTIONING SENSOR
Refer to the following chart.
*1: Perform self-diagnosis STEP-2 under sunshine.
When performing indoors, aim a light (more than 60W) at sunload
sensor, otherwise LED of A/C switch will not indicate despite that
sunload sensor is functioning properly.
CAUTION:
When switched to STEP-2, LED of REC position blinks for
approximately 25 seconds.

System Operation
The auto amp. receives data from each of the sensors. The auto amp. sends air mix door, mode door and
intake door opening angle data to the air mix door motor LCU, mode door motor LCU and intake door motor
LCU.
The air mix door motor, mode door motor and intake door motor read their respective signals according to the
address signal. Opening angle indication signals received from the auto amp. and each of the motor position
sensors are compared by the LCUs in each motor with the existing decision and opening angles. Subse-
