SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The R-12 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. If the refrigerant splashes into your eyes, when them with clean
water immediately. It is standard practice to wear goggles or
glasses to protect your eyes, and gloves to protect your hands.
3. The R-12 container is a highly pressurized vessel. Never leave
it in a hot place, and check to be sure the the storage temperature
is below 52C (126F).
4. A halide leak detector is often used to check the system for
refrigerant leakage. Bear in mind that R-12, upon coming into
contact with flame (this detector burns like propane to produce
a small flame), produces phosgene, a toxic gas.
5. The discharge of R-12 refrigerant into the atmosphere depletes
the earths protective ozone layer. Hyundai recommends that
R-12 refrigerant should be recovered and recycled if possible.
INSTALLATION OF MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
1. Close both hand valves of the manifold gauge fittings.
2. Install the charging hoses of the gauge set to the fittings.
Connect the low-pressure hose to the low-pressure service
port, and the high-pressure hose to the high-pressure service
port.
Tighten the hose nuts by hand.
NOTE
Fittings for attaching the manifold gauge set are located on
the compressor and the high pressure hose.
DISCHARGING THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the system.
2. Place the free end of the center hose on a shop towel.
3. Slowly open the high-pressure hand valve to adjust the
refrigerant flow. Open the valve only slightly.
NOTE
If refrigerant is allowed to escape too fast, compressor oil
will be drawn out of the system.
4. Check the shop towel to mark sure no oil is being discharged.
If oil is present, partially close the hand valve.
5. After the manifold gauge reading drops below 344 kPa (3.5 kg/
cm
2
, 50 psi), slowly open the low-pressure hand valve.
6. As the system pressure drops, gradually open both the high and
the low-pressure hand valves until both gauges read 0 kPa (0
kg/cm
2
, 0 psi).
97-20 A/C SYSTEM SERVICE
EVACUATING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
NOTE
It is necessary to evacuate the air conditioning system any
time the system has been opened. Evacuation is necessary
to rid the system of all air and moisture that may have been
allowed to enter the unit.
After installation of a component, the system should be
evacuated for approximately 15 minutes. A component in
service that has been opened for repair should be evacuated
for 30 minutes.
1. Engine should be off.
2. Connect a manifold gauge set to the compressor gauge fittings.
close both high and low pressure valves.
3. Make sure the refrigerant has been discharged from the sys-
tem.
4. Connect the center hose of the gauge set to the vacuum pump
inlet.
5. Start the vacuum pump and then open the high and low
manifold pressure valves.
6. After about ten minutes, check that the low pressure gauge
reads more than 94.39 kPa (0.96 kg/cm
2
, 13.7 psi) vacuum.
If negative pressure can not be obtained, there is a leak in the
system. In this case, repair the leak as described in the
following.
1) Close both the manifold valves and stop the vacuum pump.
2) Charge system with a can or refrigerant [about 0.4 kg (0.9
lb)]. Refer to Charging Refrigerant.
3) Check for refrigerant leakage with a leak detector.
Repair any leakage found. Refer to Checking Refrigerant
Leak.
4) Discharge refrigerant again, and then evacuate the system.
If no leaks are found, continue evacuating the system.
7. Start the vacuum pump.
8. Open both manifold pressure valves to obtain 94.39 kPa (0.96
kg/cm
2
, 13.7 psi) of vacuum.
9. After the low pressure manifold gauge indicates as close to
94.39 kPa (0.96 kg/cm
2
, 13.7 psi) as possible, continue
evacuating for 15 minutes.
10. After evacuating for 15 minutes, close both manifold pressure
valves and stop the vacuum pump. Disconnect the hose from
the vacuum pump. The system is now ready for charging.
A/C SYSTEM SERVICE 97-21
HANDLING REFRIGERANT SERVICE TAP VALVE
1. Before connecting the valve to the refrigerant container, turn
the handle fully counterclockwise.
2. Turn the disc counterclockwise until it reaches its highest
position.
3. Connect the center hose to the valve fitting. Turn the disc fully
clockwise by hand.
4. Turn the handle clockwise to make a hole in the sealed top.
5. Turn the handle fully counterclockwise to fill the center hose
with air. Do not open the high and low-pressure hand valves.
6. Loosen the center hose nut connected to the center fitting of the
manifold gauge.
7. Allow air to escape for a few seconds, and then tighten the nut.
CHARGING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM (VAPOR)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
NOTE
This step is to charge the system through the low pressure
side with refrigerant in a vapor state. When the refrigerant
container is placed right side up, refrigerant will enter the
system as a vapor.
Install the refrigerant can tap valve as described in Handling the
Refrigerant Service Tap Valve section.
Open the low pressure valve. Adjust the vale so that the low
pressure gauge does not read over 412 kPa (4.2 kg/cm
2
, 60
psi).
Put the refrigerant in a pan of warm water (maximum temperature
40C or (104F) to keep vapor pressure in the container slightly
higher than vapor pressure in the system.
Run the engine at fast idle, and operate the air conditioner.
NOTE
Be sure to keep the container upright to prevent liquid
refrigerant from being charged into the system through
the suction side, resulting in possible damage to the
compressor.
Charge the system to the specified amount. Then, close the low
pressure valve.
Specified amount: 0.85-0.9 kg (1.9-2.1 lb)
97-22 A/C SYSTEM SERVICE
When refrigerant charging speed is slow, immerse refrigerant can
in water, heated to a temperature of about 40C (104F).
WARNING
o. Under any circumstances the refrigerant can must not be
warmed in water heated to a temperature of over 52C (126F).
o. A blow torch or stove must never be used to warm up the can.
CHARGING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM (LIQUID)

3.
4.
5.
6.
NOTE
This step is to charge an empty system through the high
pressure side with refrigerant in a liquid state. When the
refrigerant container is held upside down, refrigerant will
enter the system as a liquid.
CAUTION
Never run the engine when charging the system through
the high pressure side.
Do not open the low pressure valve when the system is
being charged with liquid refrigerant.
Close both high and low pressure valves completely after the
system is evacuated.
Install the refrigerant can tap valve as described in Handling
Refrigerant Service Tap Valve section.
Open the high pressure valve fully, and keep the container
upside down.
Charge the system to the specified amount by weighing the
refrigerant with a scale. Overcharging will cause discharge
pressure (high side) to rise. Then, close the high pressure
valve.
Specified amount: 0.85-0.9 kg (1.9-2.1 lb)
NOTE
If the low pressure gauge does not show a reading, the
system is restricted and must be repaired.
After the specified amount of refrigerant has been charged into
system, close manifold gauge valve.
Confirm that there are no leaks in system by checking with a
leak detector. Refer to Checking Refrigerant Leak.
NOTE
Conducting a performance test prior to removing the
manifold gauge is good service operation.
A/C SYSTEM SERVICE 97-23
COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL CHECK
The oil used to lubricate the compressor circulates in the system
while the compressor is operating. Whenever replacing any com-
ponent of the system or when a large amount of gas leakage
occurs, add oil to maintain the original total amount of oil.
Handling of Oil
1. The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal filings, etc.
2. Do not mix oils.
3. The moisture content in the oil increases when exposed to the
air for prolonged periods.
After use, seal the container immediately.
ADDING COMPRESSOR OIL
When it is necessary to replace a component of the refrigerant
system, the procedures given here should be followed to ensure
that the total oil charge in the system is correct after the new part
is installed.
During Compressor Replacement
1. Prior to installing the new compressor, drain the oil from the
removed compressor into a calibrated container.
2. Drain the oil from the new compressor into a clean calibrated
container. If the amount of oil drained from the removed
compressor was between three and five fluid ounces, pour the
same amount of clean oil into the new compressor. If the
amount of oil that was removed from the old compressor is
greater than five fluid ounces, pour five fluid ounces of clean oil
into the new compressor. If the amount of oil that was removed
from the old compressor is less than 3 fluid ounces, pour three
fluid ounces of clean oil into the new compressor.
NOTE
The suction/accumulator-drier and the orifice tube should
also be replaced whenever the compressor is replaced.
97-24 A/C SYSTEM SERVICE
During Component Replacement
1. When replacing other components system, measured quanti-
ties of the specified oil should be added to the component to
ensure that the total oil charge in the system is correct before
the system is operated.
2. Clean oil should be added to the replacement components as
follows:
o Evaporator Core : Add 3 fluid ounes.
o Condenser : Add 1 fluid ounce;
o Accumulator : Drain oil from removed accumulator/drier.
Add same amount plus 2 fluid ounces of refrigerant oil to
new accumulator.
NOTE
If any other component such as an orifice tube or a hose is
replaced, no additional oil is necessary unless a hose
bursts with a fully charged system. Then, the addition of oil
may be necessary with the amount to be determined by the
technician. The suction/accumulator-drier should also be
replaced under these circumstances.
HOSE AND PIPE CHECK
Check the heater and air conditioner hoses and lines for damage
due to interference with adjoining parts. If damage is major, replace
the affected parts.
NOTE
Carefully check the hoses and lines, especially those located
close to moving parts or sharp panel edges.
CHECKING REFRIGERANT LEAKS
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.
A/C SYSTEM SERVICE 97-25
Electric Leak Detector
The leak detector is a delicate device that detects small amounts of
halogen. (In order to use the device properly, read the manuals
supplied by the manufacturer to perform the specified main-
tenance and inspections.)
If a gas leak is detected, proceed as follows:
1. Check the torque on the connection fitting and, if too loose,
tighten to the proper torque. Check for gas leakage with a leak
detector.
2. If leakage continues even after the fitting has been retightened,
discharge the refrigerant from the system, disconnect the
fittings, and check its seating face for damage. Always replace,
even if the damage is slight.
3. Check 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.
