AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NEW AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WITH
R134a
Refrigerant R12(CFC12), previously used in automo-
bile air conditioning systems is believed to contribute
towards the depletion the earths ozone layer. The
ozone layer help to protect us against the harmful
ultraviolet rays of the sun.

A newly developed refrigerant, R134a (HFC 134a),


does not the destroy the ozone layer.

AN1-M

PRECAUTIONS FOR SERVICING R134a AIR


CONDITIONINGS
1. USE OF NEW REFRIGERANT R134a
The very different characteristics of refrigerants
R134a and R12 have determined the design of their
respective air conditioning systems. Under no circum-
stances allow R12 to enter an R134a system, or vice
versa, because serious damage could occur.

2. USE OF PROPER COMPRESSOR OIL


Compressor oil used in conventional R12 air condi-
tioning systems cannot be used in R134a air condi-
tioning systems.
Always use genuine Toyota R134a air conditioning oil
ND - OIL 9, made expressly for use with R134a.

If even a small amount of the wrong oil is changed, it


will result in clouding of the refrigerant.
A large amount will cause the compressor to seize up.
AC-3
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

3. USE OF PROPER O-RINGS AND SEALS


O-rings and seals used for conventional R12 air
conditioning systems cannot be used for R134a air
conditioning systems.
Always use genuine Toyota R134a system O-rings
and seals for R134a air conditioning systems.

If O-rings and/or seals for R12 air conditioning sys-


tems are used by mistake in the connections of an R
134a air conditioning system, the O-ring and seals
will foam and swell resulting in leakage of refrigerant.

4. TIGHTEN CONNECTING PARTS SECURELY


Securely tighten the connecting parts to prevent leak-
ing of refrigerant gas.
Apply a few drops of compressor oil to O-ring
fittings for easy tightening and to prevent leaking
of refrigerant gas.
CAUTION: Apply only ND-OIL 9 compressor oil
Tighten the nuts using 2 wrenches to avoid twist-
ing the tube.
Tighten the O-ring fittings or the bolted type
fittings to the specified torque.
5. INSERT PLUG IMMEDIATELY IN DISCONNECTED
PARTS
Insert a plug immediately in the disconnected parts to
prevent the ingress of moisture and dust.
6. DO NOT REMOVE PLUG FROM NEW PARTS UNTIL
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE INSTALLATION

7. WHEN DISCONNECTING THE PLUG, TAKE CARE


SO THAT OIL WILL NOT AGAIN
AC-4
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SERVICE TOOLS FOR R134a AIR


CONDITIONING
When servicing R134a air conditioning systems
always use the R134a dedicated manifold gauges, gas
leak detector and vacuum pump adaptor.

1. USE MANIFOLD GAUGES FOR R134a AIR CONDI-


TIONING
Always use R134a dedicated manifold gauges to pre-
vent R12 and R12 compressor oil contaminating the
R134a system.

2. USE R134a GAS LEAK DETECTOR


Similarly, always use an R134a dedicated leak detec-
tor. The R12 leak detector is not sufficiently sensitive.

3. USE VACUUM PUMP ADAPTER


By connecting a vacuum pump adapter, the vacuum
pump can be used for both R134a and R12 air conditioning
systems.
The vacuum pump adaptor has an internal magnetic
valve.
When evacuation is completed and the vacuum pump
switch is turned off, the magnetic valve opens allow.
ing the introduction of atmospheric air into the manifold
gauges to prevent the back flow of oil from the
vacuum pump into the gauge hose.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn off the manifold gauge valve immediately
after evacuating the system. Then you may switch off
the vacuum pump. If this order is reversed, the line wilI
be temporarily open to atmosphere.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR


REFRIGERANT
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION

3. BE CAREFUL THAT LIQUID REFRIGERANT DOES


NOT GET IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN
If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin:
(a) Wash the area with lots of cool water.
CAUTION: Do not rub your eyes or skin.
(b) Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.
(c) GO immediately to a physician or hospital for profes-
sional treatment.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR


REFRIGERANT CONTAINER
1. NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO
NAKED FLAME
2. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER AND NOT
TO APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT

CHARGING AND LEAK-CHECK METHODS


Evacuate the refrigeration system according to the
following procedures.

10 min. Leave for 5 min.

Start Stop Airtight Refrigerant Gas Leak Refrigerant


Evacuation Evacuation Check Charge Check Charge

Check and correct Fill refrigerant in gas state until

AC-6
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Be sure to connect both the high and low pressure
quick-connectors onto the A/C system when eva-
cuating. If only one side is connected, the system
would be open to atmosphere through the other
connector, making it impossible to maintain
vacuum.
Be sure to turn off the manifold gauge valve imme-
diately after evacuating the system. Then you may
switch off the vacuum pump.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN CHARGING
REFRIGERANT
1. DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT
ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT CYCLE
If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant
system, oil lubrication will be insufficient and com-
pressor burnout may occur, so take care to avoid this.
2. DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE
WHILST COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING
If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant flows
in the reverse direction and could cause the charging
cylinder to rupture, so open and close the low pres-
sure valve only.
3. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE WITH RE-
FRIGERANT IN SYSTEM
If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such
as insufficient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine
overheating etc.

ELECTRICAL PARTS
Before removing and inspecting the electrical parts,
set the ignition switch to the LOCK position and
disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from bat-
tery.
CAUTION: Work must be started after 90 seconds from
the time the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
position and the negative (-) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM INSPECTION WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE SET


This is a method in which the trouble is located by using a manifold gauge set.
(See USE OF MANIFOLD GAUGE SET on page AC-14 )
Read the manifold gauge pressure when the following conditions are established:
(a) Temperature at the air inlet with the switch set at RECIRC is 30 - 35C (86 - 95F)
(b) Engine running at 1,500 rpm
(c) Blower speed control switch set at high
(d) Temperature control set at max. cool
HINT: It should be noted that the gauge indications may vary slightly due to ambient temperature
conditions.
