*: If refrigerating capacity is sufficient, environmental temperature is higher than normal condition, bubble
in sight glass may be deemed as normal.Symptom Refrigerant quantity Correct treatment2. Use manifold meter to check refrigerant pressure
( a ) This method is to utilize installed instrument to determine
where the fault is. Use manifold pressure meter reading to evaluate
fault condition.
Test condition:
Switch sets temperature of cyclical air inlet: 30-35°C
Engine speed: 1500 rpm
Blower speed control switch: high

tween input and output of
compressor

perature difference between
compressor input and output

sion valve, circulation
suspends, but system re-
stores to normal after ice
thaws1. Drying agent is in satu-
rated state

tively to remove water vapor in

ing system1. System refriger-
ant is insufficient

be generated.
(1) Firstly turn off meter valve high low manual valve, connect
pipeline according to the figure below, then adjust air conditioner to
maximum refrigeration operating condition, adjust engine speed to
1000 - 2000 r/min, run for 5 min. Circulate refrigerant and collect
residual oil in parts as far as possible into compressor.Symptom Possible cause Diagnosis Correct treatment (2) Loosen throttle, let engine restore to normal idle speed, turn off engine.
(3) Slowly open high voltage manual valve,cover a white towel on hose outlet,observe whether there is oil stain
on the towel, adjust flow of refrigerant.
(4) When high pressure gauge reading decreases to below 0. 35MPa, slowly open low pressure manual valve.
Close manual valve until reading of high low pressure gauge is zero.Fill-up of refrigerant (1) Use vacuum pump to vacuumize the system
During repair of refrigerating system, once refrigerating system is exposed to air or certain refrigerating
system part is to be replaced, automobile air conditioner must be vacuumized. So as to eliminate air and
water vapour in the system.
