SPECIAL FEATURES
From 1977 models the fast-idle electro-valve ( 9) is manufactured by 1, PIERBURG 1).
When it is not enerqized the electro-valve lets low pressure through towards the carburettor capsule (fast
idle ) contrary to the (1 WEBER )) electromvalve fitted previously.
Fitting the N PIERBURG )) electro-valve necessitates fitting a relay (8) which is enerqized when the air-
conditioning system is operating This relay, with its c( o/)t/i 1) contact cuts off supply to electro-valve (9)
which therefore produces fast idle. DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS :

CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM
The air-conditioning system includes the refrigeration and the heating of the air drawn into the passenger compart-
ment. REFRIGERATION
This allows the air in the passenger compartment to be cooled, while at the same time reducing its dampness (and
therefore the misting up of the glass ) HEATING
It is of the (( FROID - 15)) or (( FROID - 20 )) type
1 The air is blown around the channels of a radiator supplied by water from the engine cooling system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine II. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The refrigerating system has four main components
- the compressor ( 4)
- the condenser ( 7)
- the pressure release valve (3 i
*
the evaporator ( 1 )
The refrigerating fluid used is the F. 12
L.64.1 a
Compressor
(4) - Manufacturer ASPERA FRIGO. type HG 700 ( or SANKYO type SD 508 on EMBAUT CLIMAT )
ASPERA twin-cylinder or
SANKYO five-cylinder rotary 1 Fitted onto the gearbox by means of a mounting bracket
The compressor circulates the refrigerating fluid draws in the fluid which is in a low-pressure vapour state
compresses it ( which increases its temperature ) and expels it into the condenser.
The condenser is driven by the engine via the water pump by two trapezoidal belts ( ASPERA ) or one trapezoidal
belt ( SANKYO ).
An electro-magnetic clutch is fitted to the compressor pulley. Its operation controlled by a switch on the centre
console is intermittent due to the presence of an ambient temperature thermostat ( 2 ) which is not adjustable, and
which senses the temperature near the evaporator cooling fins.
In case of excessive pressure in the return circuit, a pressure switch (6) opens the supply circuit to the compressor
clutch.
Condenser (7 ) - Manufacturer CHAUSSON
It allows the fluid to condense and to release its latent heat to the outside air circulating around the fins. It is
secured to the front L.H. side of the engine cooling radiator At the condenser outlet, the fluid is in the high-
pressure liquid state. The fluid flows through the tank ( 5) ( which contains a dehydrating filter ) and flows
towards the pressure release valve.
A 5-blade electric fan accelerates the circulation of air around the condenser fins.
De-watering tank .( 5) - Manufacturer : SINGER
It contains a dehydrating filter element, and is fitted with a visible level indicator, which allows the amdunt .and
state of the fluid to be checked, and a high-pressure switch (6).
The de-watering tank is fitted on the front panel by means of a mounting bracket at the rear L.H. side of the
engine cooling radiator.
Pressure-release valve (3) : It is incorporated in the heater unit, and regulates the output of fluid towards the
evaporator.
Evaporator ( 1) - Manufacturer SOFICA
The air flowing through the evaporator releases its calories, ‘which will cause the low pressure fluid to be
transformed into vapour.
It is incorporated in the heater unit upstream from the heater radiator.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operating principle :
Both electric fans ( 12) and ( 14) cool the engine coolant in the radiator. Electric fan ( 14) cools the condenser
when the compressor expels the air-conditioning cooling fluid under pressure.
Simultaneous supply to fans (12) and (14) :
This is carried out by means of contacts in relays ( 1 ) and ( 9). The fl ow of current in the energizinq winding of
relays ( 1 ) and ( 9) therefore operates both electric fans simultaneously.
The relay windings are supplied when
- ignition is switched on
*
thermal switch ( 13) controlled by the coolant temperature in the radiator is off. _-
Supply to supplementary electric fan ( 14) alone :
This is carried out by contacts in relay ( 8) when its energizing winding is supplied
The relay winding is supplied when
- ignition is on
- air-conditioning switch ( 4) is off
a
contact on the ambient temperature thermostat ( 3) is closed.
Supply to the electro-magnetic clutch for the compressor :
The clutch supply is a function of the following
- Air-conditioning switch (4)
- Ambient temperature thermostat ( 3 )
-
High pressure switch ( 5).
Supply to the blower ( 15) :
This is carried out by resistors ( 16) of the rheostat. This rheostat controls the speed of the blower ( 3-speed )
and consequently, the volume of displaced air.
