GENERALITIES
The purpose of the a ir conditioning unit i s to produce a decrease of t he temperature in the
passengers compartment a nd to obtain a l ower value t emperature compared to the external
environment one, reducing in the same time the air moisture.
MAINTENANCE
For a vehicle equipped with air conditioning, it is recommended a frequent checking of the
refrigerating agent level. During the year it is recommended:
- the checking of the refrigerant fluid filling;
- the cleaning and the air-blowing of the condenser and the cooling radiator fins;
- the checking of the condensation removal pipe on order not to be clogged.
For important leakage repair, for any components replacement (compressor, condenser, etc)
and if moisture was noticed in t he air conditioning circuit, the dryer filter tank is to be replaced
and the unit draining is to be performed. The same is valid also in case the conditioning circuit
remains open without protection covers more than 10 minutes.
IMP ORTANT
Duri ng winter, it is recommended the frequent start of the system, in order to pro-
long the lifetime of the compressor and of the whole system.
The vehicle equipped with an air conditioning system shall be not exposed for more
than 20 minutes i n painting c abin where there are temperatures higher than 80 °C.
It is obligatory the use of the refrigerating agent and compressor oil type prescribed
by the manufacturer. It is absolutely forbidden to perform welding on the elements of the air condition
circ uits. The filling of the air conditioning system can be pe rformed only by m eans of charging
units and observing the instructions of the manufacturer. For mechanical or body
operations it is recommended pi ping protection in order to avoid their disconnection
by accident. Avoid the drip of the oil compressor on the painted vehicle body.
For component replacement implying the circuit draining, it is absolutely necessary
the use of new parts and of a special oil for compressor.

Basically, the air conditioning unit is formed of a closed circuit, composed by the following main
elem ents:
- ev aporator
- compre ssor
- c ondenser
- thermo static expansion valve
- conn ection pipes.
The evaporator is the component that ex t racts the heat from the passengers compartment and
is generally placed in the passengers compartment. In order to cool the passengers compartment
the hot air must be absorbed, the heat extracted and the “cooled” air redistributed. The hot air is
pa ssing through the evaporator to who is giving part of the temperature reducing so, its own
temperature. The cooled air is so conveyed in the passengers compartment, progressively reducing
the temperature.
In the same time, the refrigerant fluid which goes into the evaporator, is absorbing the heat, from
ai r pa ssing through the evaporator and at the same temperature, is transforming it from liquid into
va pors. At the evaporator exit, the refrigerant fluid is in vapor condition.
The evaporator is placed in the climate control unit and is protected by cases.

The compressor is absorbing the vapors coming from the evaporator at low pressure and
temperature, is compressing them and convey the gas at high temperature and pressure. The refrigerant fluid in high pressure and temperature vapor condition is entering in the second
he at exchanger, which by condensation is transmitting the heat to the external environmental.
At the exit from the condenser, the refrigerant fl uid is in liquid condition, at a high pressure and temperature.

PRESSURE CONTROLLER
(low pressure, high pressure, medium pressure, in accordance
with the specification) or pressure capture
- low pressure – disconnect when the pressure in the low pressure circuit is lower than
1,96 +/-0,2 bar , reestablishing at a higher pressure than 2,16 +/- 0,2 bar; - higher pressure – disconnect when the pressure in the high pressure circuit is higher than
31,4 +/-2 bar , reestablishing at a higher pre ssure than 25,5 +/-2 bar; - medium pre ssure - start s the bl ower on t he second level speed, when t he pressure i s
higher than 17,7+/-1bar and stops the blower at a lower pressure 13,7+/- 1,2.
Thermostatic expansion valve allows the reduction of the refrigerant liquid pressure which is
coming from t he condenser, passing through the tank filter and i s continuously adjusting the
refrigerant flow from the evaporator, to reach the compressor in vapor condition. PRESSURE CONTROLLER
The good operation of the air conditioning unit is ensured by a dryer filter tank that ha s the
purpose to protect the unit. The filter’s purpose is to absorb the eventually solid particles found
in the oil and refrigerant liquid circulation.
The interception is needed as they might block the operation of the thermostatic expansion
valve or may produce the compressor mobile parts worn or gripping.
DETECTION OF REFRIGERANT F LUID LEAKAGE
In order to detect the refrigerant liquid leakage, it is used a detector, calibrated to detect
leakage of 9gr. /year.

ER FILTER TANK
The dryer filter tank has a triple function in the air conditioning unit:
- filtering the refrigerant fluid from the unit;
- absorbing the moisture from the unit;
- it is a buffer storage tank of refrigerant fluid.
