Air Conditioning System

Introduction

In case the liquid refrigerant enters into the eye or touches the

skin, the following measures shall be taken:

Wash the part where is touched by the refrigerant with a

great deal of water.

Coat the skin with the clean Vaseline.

See the doctor or go to the hospital for treatment; and

Do not try to cure it yourself.

General Introduction

1.

Take notice when handling refrigerant 

General Introduction

(a)

Do not handling with refrigerant in the closed room or

near to open fire.

(b)

Safety goggles shall be worn when handling

(c)

Be careful to avoid the liquid refrigerant from entering

into your eye or touching you skin.

plug

2.

Take notice when changing the parts of refrigerant pipes:

(a)

The refrigerant shall be exhausted gradually before

changing.

(b)

The dismantled parts shall be covered with plug right

away so as to prevent the water or dust from entering into

the system.

(c)

Do not store the condenser or liquid tank under the

condition that the plug has been uncovered. and

(d)

Refrigerant shall be exhausted before installing the new

condenser, because the refrigerant, if not exhausted, will

eject out in gaseous form with the lubricant oil when the

plug is moved away.

3.

Take notice when fastening the connection parts:

(a)

Spread a little lubricant oil at the matching position of the

O-type ring to fasten the connection and avoid of gaseous

refrigerant leakage.

(b)

Fasten the nut with two spanners so as to avoid of the pipe

deformation.

Air Conditioning System

Introduction

(c)

Tighten the O-ring matching position or the threaded position

to the specified moment.

4.

Take notice when connecting measuring meter at branch pipes:

(a)

Connect the end of filling hose with high speed joint to the

filling valve of compressor.

(b)

Letter 

D

 marked on the compressor near the auxiliary valve

represents the side of high voltage while 

S

 means the side of

low voltage, which shall be looked out when connecting the hose.

(c)

Fasten the bolts by hand, and

(d)

In order to prevent the hose from loosing, lubricant oil shall not

be spread at the connection position.

Remarks: after connecting the measuring meter on branch pipes to

the refrigerant container (repairing tank), the air in the hose shall be

exhausted up.

5.

Take notice when vacuumizing:

After vacuumizing for 20 min, maintain the container at certain

pressure to ensure that all air in it is exhausted up, and another

inspection shall be made to see whether there is leakage.

6.

Take notice when handling with the refrigerant container

(repairing tank):

(a)

Do not heat it.

(b)

Store the container at the place where temperature is under 40

(c)

In case of heating the repairing tank with hot water, care shall

be paid to the valves at the top of tank, do not dip them into the

water, or the water will penetrate into the cooling system.

(d)

The empty repairing tank is forbidden to reuse.

8.

Take notice when using the high-pressure air cylinder type

inspecting device:

(a)

In case the open fire is used, it is the first to ensure before using

there is no flammable material around.

(b)

Be careful because toxic gas will be produced when the

gaseous refrigerant meets with the open fire.

7.

Take notice in the A/C operation or when adding the liquid

refrigerant:

(a)

In case the gaseous refrigerant in the cooling system is

insufficient, which can lead to the compressor burns out, and

such accidents shall be avoided.

(b)

If the valve on the side of high pressure is uncovered, the

refrigerant will flow in the reverse direction, which may lead

to the break of the repairing tank, therefore, only valves on the

side of low pressure are allowed to open or closed.

(c)

If the repair tank is laid in reverse direction, and the refrigerant

is added in liquid status, the liquid refrigerant will be

compressed, which may lead to failure of the compressor,

therefore, refrigerant shall be inflated in the gaseous status.

(d)

Be careful not over-inflate the gaseous refrigerant, otherwise,

such failures as insufficient cooling, increase of oil consuming

or over heat of engine will be followed.

Air-conditioning System - General introduction

General introduction

Refrigeration cycle

1.

The refrigerant at the lower pressure side is condensed by the

compressor into the HT and HP gaseous refrigerant.

2.

These gaseous refrigerant flows into the condenser, where it is

turned into liquid refrigerant.

3.

Those liquid refrigerant flows into the liquid tank, where the

liquid refrigerant is stored and filtered so as to satisfy the

requirement of evaporator.

    curent direction

evaporator

heat

expansionvalve

liquid tank

4.

The liquid refrigerant is throttled by the expansion valve to reduce the pressure, so that the liquid refrigerant is turned

into the LT and LP mixture of liquid and gaseous refrigerant.

5.

The cold and fog-like refrigerant flows into the evaporator, where it is vaporized with the given heat, which is

absorbed from the hot air flow by the evaporator core. All liquid refrigerants are turned into the gaseous refrigerant

in the evaporator, and only the heated gaseous refrigerant is absorbed into the compressor. Then repeat the above-

mentioned cycling approach.

The refrigerant released from

the evaporator expands and

inflows through the evapora-

tor pipe. During this process,

the refrigerant absorbs the

heat in the air around the ra-

diating rib and pipe and

vaporizes, so that the tem-

perature inside the vehicle

reduces gradually.

The condenser allows the heated gas-

eous refrigerant to release heat to the

cooling air of engine, therefore, the gas-

eous refrigerant is cooled and turned

into liquid state again.

The expansion valve is used

to measure the gaseous re-

frigerant entered into evapo-

rator core, which reduces the

pressure and temperature of

refrigerant gradually.

The liquid tank is used to exhaust

the water in system and to filter

the dust and dunghill. It serves as

the store to store the redundant

refrigerant.

The compressor absorbs the
gaseous refrigerant emitted
from the evaporator and com-
presses it. In doing so, the tem-
perature and pressure of gas-
eous refrigerant increases
rapidly.
