1A-2 HEATING AND VENTILATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Heater
When the engine warming up, the warmed engine coolant is sent out into the heater core. The heater system supplies
warm air into the passenger compartment to warm it up.
Outside air is circulated through the heater core of the heater unit and then back into the passenger compartment. By
controlling the mixture of outside air and heater core air, the most comfortable passenger compartment temperature
can be selected and maintained.
The temperature of warm air sent to the passenger compartment is controlled by the temperature control lever. This
lever acts to open and close the air mix door, thus controlling the amount of air passed through the heater core.
The air select lever, with its different modes, also allows you to select and maintain the most comfortable passenger
compartment temperature.
The air source select lever is used to select either “FRESH” for the introduction of the outside air, or “CIRC” for the
circulation of the inside air. When the lever is set to “FRESH”, the outside air is always taken into the passenger com-
partment.
When setting the lever to “CIRC” position, the circulation of air is restricted only to the inside air with no introduction
of the outside air and the air in the passenger compartment gets warm quickened. However, the lever is normally set
to “FRESH” to prevent the windshield from clouding.

The vehicle has cable-control-type to control by cable the mode and temperature of the heater unit and the mode door

Ventilation
Set “AIR SOURCE SELECT LEVER” to “FRESH” position and turn on the blower fan. Heating can be done in this

Temperature Control Lever
When the temperature control lever is in the “COLD” position, the air mix door closes to block the flow of air to the
heater core.
When the temperature control lever is in the “HOT” position, the air mix door opens to allow air to pass through the
heater core and heat the passenger compartment.
Placing the lever in an intermediate position will cause a lesser or greater amount of air to reach the heater core. In
this mode the passenger compartment temperature can be regulated.

The magnetic clutch connector is a waterproof type.

Magnetic Clutch
The compressor (1) is driven by the drive belt from the
crank pulley of the engine. If the compressor is activated
each time the engine is started, this causes too much
load to the engine. The magnetic clutch (2) transmits the
power from the engine to the compressor and activates
it when the air conditioning is “ON”. Also, it cuts off the
power from the engine to the compressor when the air
conditioning is “OFF”. (Magnetic clutch repair procedure

Dual Pressure Switch (for GCC and Taiwan)


The dual pressure switch (1) is installed on the upper

Expansion Valve
This expansion valve is external pressure type and it is
installed at the evaporator intake port.
The expansion valve converts the high pressure liquid
1
refrigerant sent from the receiver/drier to a low pressure
liquid refrigerant by forcing it through a tiny port before
sending it to the evaporator.
This type of expansion valve consists of a temperature
sensor, diaphragm, ball valve, ball seat, spring adjust-
ment screw, etc.
The temperature sensor contacts the evaporator outlet
pipe, and converts changes in temperature to pressure.
It then transmits these to the top chamber of the dia-
phragm.
The refrigerant pressure is transmitted to the dia-
phragms bottom chamber through the external equaliz-
ing pressure tube.

Electronic Thermostat
The thermostat consists of the thermosensor (1) and
thermostat unit (2) which functions electrically to reduce
the noises being generated while the system is in oper-
ation.
The electronic thermosensor is mounted at the evapora-
tor core outlet and senses the temperature of the cool air
from the evaporator, Temperature signals are input to
the thermostat unit. This information is compared by the
thermo unit and the results in output to operate the A/C
thermo relay and turn the magnetic clutch “ON” or “OFF”
to prevent evaporator freeze-up.
A characteristic of the sensor is that the resistance de-
creases as the temperature increases and the resis-
tance increases as the temperature decreases.

Service Charge Valves


R-134a service charge valve shapes is different from the
charge valves used in the R-12 system. The charging
hoses have a quick-joint type fitting, to reduce refriger-
ant loss during removal and installation. This type of
valve also eliminates the possibility of cross charging R-
N1A0052E 12 and R-134a systems when using approved service
equipment.
Refrigerant Line
Restrictions in the refrigerant line will be indicated by:
1. Suction line; A restricted suction line will cause low
suction pressure at the compressor, low discharge
pressure and little or not cooling.
2. Discharge line; A restriction in the discharge line
generally will cause the discharge line to leak.
3. Liquid line; A liquid line restriction will be evidenced
by low discharge and suction pressure and insuffi-
cient cooling.
Refrigerant flexible hoses that have a low permeability
to refrigerant and moisture are used.
These low permeability hoses have a special nylon layer
on the inside.

Recovery, Recycling, Evacuation and Charging


Handling Refrigerant-134a
Air conditioning systems contain R-134a.
This is a chemical mixture which requires special han-
dling procedures to avoid personal injury.
• Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves.
• Always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not weld
or steam clean on or near any vehicle-installed air
conditioning lines or components.
• If R-134a should come in contact with any part of
the body, flush the exposed area with cold water
and immediately seek medical help.
• If it is necessary to transport or carry any container
of R-134a in a vehicle, do not carry it in the passen-
ger compartment.
• If it is necessary to fill a small R-134a container
from a large one, never fill the container complete-
ly. Space should always be allowed above the liq-
uid for expansion.
• R-134a and R-12 should never be mixed as their
compositions are not the same.
N1A0067E

quickly than R-12 mineral oil and, therefore, should 1. Connect the high and low charging hoses of the

7. Check to ensure that the pressure does not change
after 10 minutes or more.
• If the pressure changes, check the system for
leaks.
• If leaks occur, retighten the refrigerant line connec-
tions and repeat the evacuation steps.
8. If no leaks are found, again operate the vacuum
pump for 20 minutes or more. After confirming that
the gauge manifold pressure is at 750 mmHg(30
inHg), close both hand valves.

Contamination of compressor oil


Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the com-
pressor oil. Even if the compressor runs for a long period
of time (approximately 1 season), the oil never becomes
contaminated as long as there is nothing wrong with the
compressor or its method of use.
Inspect the extracted oil for any of the following
N1A0141E
conditions:
• The capacity of the oil has increased.
• The oil has changed color to red.
• Foreign substances, metal powder, etc., are
present in the oil.
If any of these conditions exists, compressor oil is
contaminated. Whenever contaminated compressor
oil is discovered, the receiver/drier must be re-
placed.

Oil return operation


There is close affinity between the oil and the refriger-
ant. During normal operation, part of the oil recirculates
with the refrigerant in the system.
When checking the amount of oil in the system, or re-
placing any component of the system, the compressor
must be run in advance for oil return operation. The pro-
cedure is as follows:
1. Open the all doors and engine hood.
2. Start the engine and A/C switch is “ON”. Set the fan
control knob at its highest position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes be-
tween 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the
system.
4. Stop the engine.
