REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
Operation
1. Control Valve
–By changing high-pressure valve lift amount, built-in electronic control valve executes the following:
 Controls high-pressure valve discharge amount.
 Changes crankcase pressure in compressor.
 Changes angle of wobble (swash) plate.
–Amount of high-pressure valve lift is determined by factors below.
 Low-pressure applied to diaphragm
 Spring load of set spring
 Balance of magnetic force generated in magnet coil
–Electronic control valve (ECV) magnet coil receives electric signal (duty control) from unified meter and A/
C amp. Then, magnetic force generated by electric current is changed to control high-pressure valve lift
amount.
2. Maximum Cooling High-pressure valve is closed by magnetic force generated by electric signal sent from unified meter and
A/C amp. At this time, cylinder moves full stroke due to pressure balance between inside crankcase (Pc)
and suction line (Ps).
Under this condition, the wobble (swash) plate is set to the maximum stroke position.
3. Capacity Control When no electric signal is sent from unified meter and A/C amp. (current: OFF), high-pressure valve is
opened by spring force.
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 wobble (swash) plate, and is generated by the pressure dif-
ference 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 close to 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

Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in CompressorNJS000DL
The lubricant in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add lubricant to compres-
sor when replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the
specified amount.
If lubricant quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:

Lack of lubricant: May lead to a seized compressor.

Excessive lubricant: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
LUBRICANT
LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the lubricant quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION
Can lubricant return operation be performed?

A/C system works properly.

There is no evidence of a large amount of lubricant leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive lubricant leakage is noted, never perform the lubricant return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM LUBRICANT RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start the engine, and set to the following conditions:
–Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
–A/C switch: ON
–Blower speed: Max. position
–Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25 to 30 °C (77 to 86 °F).]
–Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform lubricant return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> GO TO AT C - 2 9 , "LUBRICANT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACE-
MENT" .
NO >> GO TO AT C - 2 8 , "

Starting Fan Speed Control
Start up from COLD SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
In a cold start up condition where the engine coolant temperature is below 56 °C (133 °F), the blower will not
operate for a short period of time (up to 150 seconds). The exact start delay time varies depending on the
ambient and engine coolant temperature.
In the most extreme case (very low ambient) the blower starting delay will be 150 seconds as described
above. After this delay, the blower will operate at low speed until the engine coolant temperature rises above
56 °C (133 °F), and then the blower speed will increase to the objective speed.
Start up from usual or HOT SOAK Condition (Automatic mode)
The blower will begin operation momentarily after the AUTO switch is pressed. The blower speed will gradu-
ally rise to the objective speed over a time period of 3 seconds or less (actual time depends on the objective
blower speed).
Blower Speed Compensation
Sunload
When the in-vehicle temperature and the set temperature are very close, the blower will be operating at low
speed. The low speed will vary depending on the sunload. During conditions of low or no sunload, the blower
speed is at duty ratio 25%. During high sunload conditions, the unified meter and A/C amp. raise the blower
speed (duty ratio 49%).
Fan Speed Control Specification
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Brush-Less Motor
The blower motor utilizes a brush-less motor with a rotating magnet.
Quietness is improved over previous motors where the brush was
the point of contact and the coil rotated.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR BLOWER MOTOR
SYMPTOM: Blower motor operation is malfunctioning.

Removal and InstallationNJS000EO
REMOVAL
1. Remove low-pressure pipe 2 and high-pressure pipe 3. Refer to ATC-150, "Removal and Installation of
Low-pressure Pipe 2 and High-pressure Pipe 3" .
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of evaporator, low-pressure pipe 1 and high-pressure pipe 2 with suitable
material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
2. Slide evaporator to passenger side, and then remove intake sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of low-pressure pipe 1, 2 and high-pressure pipe 2, 3 with new ones, and then
apply compressor oil to it when installing it.

Mark the mounting position of intake sensor bracket prior to removal so that the reinstalled sen-
sor can be located in the same position.

Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.

Insert piping securely until a click is heard.

After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection
does not come loose.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
