REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Refrigerant CycleINFOID:0000000001704286
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator is
controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.
FREEZE PROTECTION
Under usual operating conditions, when the A/C is switched ON, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and temperature is controlled by the compressor to prevent freeze up.
Refrigerant System ProtectionINFOID:0000000001704287
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refrig-
erant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (27.46 bar, 28.0 kg/cm
2 , 398 psi), or below
about 134 kPa (1.34 bar, 1.4 kg/cm
2 , 20 psi).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3.8 MPa (38 bar,
38.76 kg/cm
2 , 551 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrig-
erant into the atmosphere.

Maintenance of Oil Quantity in CompressorINFOID:0000000001704289
The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to compressor when
replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the specified
amount.
If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
• Lack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor.
• Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
OIL
OIL RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the oil quantity according to the test group shown below.
1.CHECK OIL RETURN OPERATION
Can oil return operation be performed?
• A/C system works properly.
• There is no evidence of a large amount of oil leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive oil leakage is noted, do not perform the oil return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2.PERFORM OIL RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
- Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
- A/C blower 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 oil return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3.CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> GO TO "OIL ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT".
NO >> GO TO "OIL ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT EXCEPT COM-
PRESSOR".
OIL ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPONENTS REPLACEMENT EXCEPT COMPRESSOR
After replacing any of the following major components, add the correct amount of oil to the system.

*1: If refrigerant leak is small, no addition of oil is needed.
OIL ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
1. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges.
No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure oil discharged into the
recovery/recycling equipment.
3. Drain the oil from the old (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount of oil
drained.
4. Drain the oil from the new compressor into a separate, clean container.
5. Measure an amount of new oil installed equal to amount drained from old compressor. Add this oil to new
compressor through the suction port opening.
6. Measure an amount of new oil equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this oil to new com-
pressor through the suction port opening.

7. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add another 5 m (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz.) of oil at this
time.
Add this 5 m (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz.) of oil only when replacing the compressor.
