HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)
1A±19
Evaporation
The refrigerant is changed from a liquid to a gas inside the
evaporator. The refrigerant mist that enters the
evaporator vaporizes readily. The liquid refrigerant
removes the required quantity of heat (latent heat of
vaporization) from the air around the evaporator core
cooling fins and rapidly vaporizes. Removing the heat
cools the air, which is then radiated from the fins and
lowers the temperature of the air inside the vehicle.
The refrigerant liquid sent from the expansion valve and
the vaporized refrigerant gas are both present inside the
evaporator as the liquid is converted to gas.
With this change from liquid to gas, the pressure inside
the evaporator must be kept low enough for vaporization
to occur at a lower temperature. Because of that, the
vaporized refrigerant is sucked into the compressor.
Compression
The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor until it is
easily liquefied at normal temperature.
The vaporized refrigerant in the evaporator is sucked into
the compressor. This action maintains the refrigerant
inside the evaporator at a low pressure so that it can
easily vaporize, even at low temperatures close to 0
C
(32
F).
Also, the refrigerant sucked into the compressor is
compressed inside the cylinder to increase the pressure
and temperature to values such that the refrigerant can
easily liquefy at normal ambient temperatures.
Condensation
The refrigerant inside the condenser is cooled by the
outside air and changes from gas to liquid.
The high temperature, high pressure gas coming from the
compressor is cooled and liquefied by the condenser with
outside air and accumulated in the receiver/drier. The
heat radiated to the outside air by the high temperature,
high pressure gas in the compressor is called heat of
condensation. This is the total quantity of heat (heat of
vaporization) the refrigerant removes from the vehicle
interior via the evaporator and the work (calculated as the
quantity of heat) performed for compression.
Expansion
The expansion valve lowers the pressure of the
refrigerant liquid so that it can easily vaporize.
The process of lowering the pressure to encourage
vaporization before the liquefied refrigerant is sent to the
evaporator is called expansion. In addition, the expansion
valve controls the flow rate of the refrigerant liquid while
decreasing the pressure.
That is, the quantity of refrigerant liquid vaporized inside
the evaporator is determined by the quantity of heat which
must be removed at a prescribed vaporization
temperature. It is important that the quantity of refrigerant
be controlled to exactly the right value.
Compressor
The compressor performs two main functions:It compresses low-pressure and low-temperature
refrigerant vapor from the evaporator into high-pressure
and high-temperature refrigerant vapor to the condenser.
It pumps refrigerant and refrigerant oil through the air
conditioning system.
This vehicle is equipped with a five-vane rotary
compressor.
The specified amount of the compressor oil is 150cc
(5.0 fl. oz.).
The oil used in the HFC-134a system compressor differs
from that used in R-12 systems.
Also, compressor oil to be used varies according to the
compressor model. Be sure to avoid mixing two or more
different types of oil.
If the wrong oil is used, lubrication will be poor and the
compressor will seize or malfunction.
The magnetic clutch connector is a waterproof type.
Magnetic Clutch
The compressor is driven by the drive belt from the crank
pulley of the engine. If the compressor is activated each
time the engine is started, this causes too much load to
the engine. The magnetic clutch transmits the power from
the engine to the compressor and activates it when the air
conditioning is ON. Also, it cuts off the power from the
engine to the compressor when the air conditioning is
OFF. Refer to
Compressor in this section for magnetic
clutch repair procedure.

Condenser
The condenser assembly is located in front of the radiator.
It provides rapid heat transfer from the refrigerant to the
cooling fins.
Also, it functions to cool and liquefy the high-pressure and
high-temperature vapor sent from the compressor by the
radiator fan or outside air.

Engine Oil Pressure Check
1. Check for dirt, gasoline or water in the engine oil.
a. Check the viscosity of the oil.
b. Check the viscosity of the oil.
c. Change the oil if the viscosity is outside the
specified standard.
d. Refer to the ªMaintenance and Lubricationº section
of this manual.
2. Check the engine oil level.
The level should fall somewhere between the ªADDº
and the ªFULLº marks on the oil level dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the ªADDº mark on the
oil level dipstick, engine oil must be added.3. Remove the oil pressure unit.
4. Install an oil pressure gauge.
5. Start the engine and allow the engine to reach normal
operating temperature (About 80
C).
6. Measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure should be:
392±550 kPa (56.9±80.4 psi) at 3000 rpm.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the oil pressure gauge.
9. Install the oil pressure unit.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks.

The camshaft pulley is not 1:1 with the camshafts.
It is necessary to rotate the camshaft pulley until
the camshaft lobes are in the position as shown
in the diagram on page 6A±34.
The camshaft pulley alignment mark should also
align with alignment mark on the cylinder head
cover.
It may require up to four revolutions of the
camshaft pulley to achieve alignment of all marks.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO
THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.
