Instructions
When Handling Refrigerant
1. R-134a liquid refrigerant is highly volatile. A drop on the skin of your hand could result in localized frostbite. When handling the refrigerant,
be sure to wear gloves.
2. It is standard practice to wear goggles or glasses to protect your eyes, and gloves to protect your hands. If the refrigerant splashes into
your eyes, wash them with clean water immediately.
3. The R-134a container is highly pressurized. Never leave it in a hot place, and check storage temperature is below 52°C (126°F).
4. An electronic leak detector should be used to check the system for refrigerant leakage. Bear in mind that the R-134a, upon coming into
contact with flame, produces phosgene, a highly toxic gas.
5. Use only recommended lubricant for R-134a systems. If lubricants other than the recommended one used, system failure may occur.
6. PAG lubricant absorbs moisture from the atmosphere at a rapid rate, therefore the following precautions must be observed :
• When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, cap the components immediately to prevent entry of moisture.
• When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the cap until just before connecting the components.
• Complete the connection of all refrigerant tubes and hoses without delay to prevent the A/C system from taking on moisture.
• Use the recommended lubricant from a sealed container only.
7. If an accidental discharge in the system occurs, ventilate the work area before resum of service.

When Replacing Parts On A/C System


1. Never open or loosen a connection before discharging the system.
2. Seal the open fittings of components with a cap or plug immediately to prevent intrusion of moisture or dust.
3. Do not remove the sealing caps from a Replacement component until it is ready to be installed.
4. Before connecting an open fitting, always install a new sealing ring. Coat the fitting and seal with refrigerant oil before making the
connection.

When Installing Connecting Parts


Flange With Guide Pin
Check the new O-ring for damage (use only the specified) and lubricate by using compressor oil. Tighten the nut to specified torque.

Handling Tubing And Fittings


The internal parts of the refrigeration system will remain in a state of chemical stability as long as pure moisture-free refrigerant and refrigerant
oil are used. Abnormal amounts of dirt, moisture or air can upset the chemical stability and cause problems or serious damage.

The Following Precautions Must Be Observed


1. When it is necessary to open the refrigeration system, have everything you will need to service the system ready so the system will not be
left open any longer than necessary.
2. Cap or plug all lines and fittings as soon as they are opened to prevent the entrance of dirt and moisture.
3. All lines and components in parts stock should be capped or sealed until they are ready to be used.
4. Never attempt to rebind formed lines to fit. Use the correct line for the installation you are servicing.
5. All tools, including the refrigerant dispensing manifold, the gauge set manifold and test hoses, should be kept clean and dry.

Refrigerant System Service Basics


Refrigerant Recovery
Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-134a(R-134a) from the
air conditioning system.

• Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
• Be careful when connecting service equipment.
• Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resume of service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
1. Connect an R-134a refrigerant
Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high-pressure service port (C) and the low-pressure service port (B) as shown, following
the equipment manufacturer''s instructions.

2. Measure the amount of refrigerant oil removed from the A/C system after the recovery process is completed. Be sure to install the same
amount of new refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before charging.

System Evacuation
Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-134a(R-134a) from the
air conditioning system.

• Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
• Be careful when connecting service equipment.
• Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resume of service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
1. When an A/C System has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during installation or repair, it must be evacuated using an R-134a
refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System. (If the system has been open for several days, the receiver/dryer should be replaced,
and the system should be evacuated for several hours.)
2. Connect an R-134a refrigerant
Recovery/Recycling/Charging System to the high-pressure service port and the low-pressure service port as shown, following the
equipment manufacturer''s instructions.
3. If the low-pressure does not reach more than 93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 10 minutes, there is probably a leak in the system.
Partially charge the system, and check for leaks (see Refrigerant Leak Test).
4. Remove the low pressure valve from the low-pressure service port.

System Charging
Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-134a(R-134a) from the
air conditioning system.

• Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
• Be careful when connecting service equipment.
• Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resume of service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
1. Connect an R-134a refrigerant
Recovery/Recycling/Charging System to the high-pressure service port as shown, following the equipment manufacturer''s instructions.
2. Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to system that was removed during recovery. Use only specified refrigerant oil. Charge the
system with 550 ± 25g (19.4 ± 0.88 oz.) of R-134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the system the compressor will be damaged.

Refrigerant Leak Test


Always conduct a leak test with an electronic leak detector whenever leakage or refrigerant is suspected and when conducting service
operations which are accompanied by disassembly or loosening or connection fittings.

In order to use the leak detector properly, read the manual supplied by the manufacturer.

If a gas leak is detected, proceed as follows:


1. Check the torque on the connection fittings and, if too loose, tighten to the proper torque. Check for gas leakage with a leak detector (A).
2. If leakage continues even after the fitting has been tightened, discharge the refrigerant from the system, disconnect the fittings, and check
their seating faces for damage. Always replace, even if the damage is slight.
3. Check the compressor oil and add oil if required.
4. Charge the system and recheck for gas leaks. If no leaks are found, evacuate and charge the system again.

Oil Specification
1. The HFC-134a system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil. The two oils
must never be mixed.
2. Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the model of compressor.

Handling of Oil
1. The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc.
2. Do not mix with other oil.
3. The water content in the oil increases when exposed to air. After use, seal oil from air immediately. (HFC-134a Compressor Oil absorbs
moisture very easily.)
4. The compressor oil must be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
Compressor Oil Check
The oil used to lubricate the compressor circulates with the refrigerant.
Whenever replacing any component of the system or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the original amount of oil.
Oil total volume in system
PAG 30 120 ± 10cc (4.23 ± 0.35oz.)

Oil Return Operation


There is close affinity between the oil and refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates with the refrigerant in the system. When checking the amount of oil in the system, or
replacing any component of the system, the compressor must run in advance for oil return operation. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open all the doors and engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON" and set the blower motor control knob at its highest position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system.
4. Stop the engine.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning

Replacement
1. Discharge refrigerant from refrigeration system.
2. Replace faulty tube or hose.

Cap the open fittings immediately to keep moisture or dirt out of the system.

3. Tighten joint of bolt or nut to specified torque.

Connections should not be torque tighter than the specified torque.

4. Evacuate air in refrigeration system and charge system with refrigerant.


Specified amount :550 ± 25g (19.4 ± 0.88 oz.)

5. Inspect for leakage of refrigerant.


Using a gas leak detector, check for leakage of refrigerant.
6. Inspect A/C operation.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning

Description
The compressor is the power unit of the A/C system.
It is located on the side of engine block and driven by a V-belt of the engine.
The compressor changes low pressure and low temperature refrigerant gas into high pressure and high temperature refrigerant gas.

Variable Swash Plate Compressor


The compressor has a swash plate that rotates to reciprocate pistons, which compress refrigerant.
The variable swash plate compressor controls the swash plate angle to change the refrigerant displacement. It achieves precise cooling
capability control in accordance with vehicle interior and driving conditions.
The externally controlled variable swash plate compressor changes the swash plate angle by an ECV (Electric Control Valve) in accordance
with an electrical signal from the heater & A/C control unit.
This enables stable temperature control and improved driving sensation.
