24-10HEATERS AND AIR CONDITIONING - Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSN24PAAD
The refrigerant used in all air conditioner is R-l 2. It istransparent and colorless in both the liquid and
vapor state. Since it has a boiling point of
-29.8”C(-85.6”F).
at atmospheric pressure, it will be a vapor
at all normal temperatures and pressures. The vaporis heavier than air, non-flammable, and nonexplo-
sive. It is nonpoisonous except when it is in direct
contact with open flame. It
ia noncorrosive except
when combined with water. The following precau-
tions must be observed when handling
R-12.Caution
Wear safety goggles when servicing the refriger-ation system.
R-12 evaporates so rapidly at normal atmospheric
pressures and temperatures that it tends to freeze
anything it contacts. For this reason, extreme care
must be taken to prevent any liquid refrigerant from
contacting the skin and especially the eyes. Always
wear safety goggles when servicing the refrigera-
tion part of the air conditioning system. Keep a
bottle of sterile mineral oil handy when working on
the refrigeration system. Should any liquid re-
frigerant get into the eyes, use a few drops of
mineral oil to wash them out.
R-12 is rapidly
absorbed by the oil. Next splash the eyes with
plenty of cold water. Call your doctor immediately
even though irritation has ceased after treatment.
Caution
Do not heat
R-12 above 40°C (104°F).In most instances, moderate heat is required to
bring the pressure of the refrigerant in its container
above the pressure of the system when charging or
adding refrigerant. A bucket or large pan of hot
water not over
40°C (104°F) is all the heat required
for this purpose. Do not heat the refrigerant contain-
er with a blow torch or any other means that would
raise temperature and pressure above this tempera-ture. Do not weld or steam clean on or near the
system components or refrigerant lines.
Caution
Keep
R-12 containers upright when charging the
system.When metering
R-12 into the refrigeration system,
keep the supply tank or cans in an upright position. Ifthe refrigerant container is on its side or upside
down, liquid refrigerant will enter the system and
damage the compressor.Caution
Always work in a well-ventilated room.
‘irrGood ventilation is vital in the working area. Always
discharge the refrigerant into the service bay ex-
haust system or outside the building. Large quanti-
ties of refrigerant vapor in a small, poorly ventilated
room can displace the air and cause suffocation.
Although
R-12 vapor is normally nonpoisonous,
contact with an open flame can cause the vapor to
become very poisonous. Do not discharge large
quantities of refrigerant in an area having an open
flame. A poisonous gas is produced when using theflame-type leak detector. Avoid inhaling the fumes
from the leak detector.
Caution
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright
metal.
Refrigerant will tarnish bright metal and chrome
surfaces, and in combination with moisture can
severely corrode all metal surfaces.
R-12 Refrigerant Bundling
Refrigerant Recycling
R-12 refrigerant is a chloro-floro-carbon (CFC) that
can contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer in
the upper atmosphere.A
Ozone filters out harmful radiation from the sun.
- -/.To assist in protecting the ozone layer, Mitsubishi
Motors Corporation
recomends that a R-12 re-
frigerant recycling device that meets SAE standard
J1991 be used.
Contact an automotive service equipment supplier
for refrigerant recycling equipment that is available
in your area.
Refer to the operating instructions provided with therecycling equipment for proper operation.

7 Discharge
Port20A0460Manifold Gauge Valves-should be closed when connecting the manifold gauge set to the service port of
the compressor and the discharge hose. The suction gauge valve at the left is opened to provide a passage
between the suction gauge and the center manifold outlet. The discharge gauge valve at the right is openedto provide a passage between the discharge pressure gauge and the center manifold outlet.
Detailed instructions for proper use of the gauge set manifold are contained in the text covering each test andservice operation employing these gauges.
Suction Gauge-the left side of the manifold set is calibrated to register 0 to
100 kPa (0 to 15 psi) and 0 to
1,000
kPa (0 to 145 psi). This gauge is connected to the suction port of the compressor.
Discharged Gauge-the right of the manifold set is calibrated to register 0 to
2,100 kPa (0 to 305 psi). For all
tests this gauge is connected to the discharge port of the system.
Center Manifold Outlet-provides the necessary connection for a long service hose used when discharging
the system, using a vacuum pump to “pull a vacuum”before charging the system, and for connecting the
supply of refrigerant when charging the system.
TEST PROCEDURESN24FEAS
RECEIVER DRIERTo Test the Receiver Drier
(1) Operate the unit and check the piping temperature by
touching the receiver drier outlet and inlet.
(2) If there is a difference in the temperatures, the receiver
drier is restricted.
Replace the receiver drier.
SIGHT GLASS REFRIGERANT LEVEL TEST
The sight glass is a refrigerant level indicator. To check the
refrigerant level, clean the sight glass and start the vehicle
engine. Push the air conditioner button to operate the
compressor, place the blower switch to high and move the
temperature control lever to max cool. After operating for a fewminutes in this manner, check the sight glass.
(1) If the sight glass is clear, the magnetic clutch is engaged,
the compressor discharge line is warm and the compressorinlet line is cool; the system has a full charge.
(2) If the sight glass is clear, the magnetic clutch is engaged
and there is no significant temperature difference between
compressor inlet and discharge lines: the system has lost
some refrigerant.

disengaged; the clutch is faulty or, the system is out of
refrigerant. Perform low pressure switch test to determine
condition. Check low pressure switch, and clutch coil for
electrical continuity.
(4) If the sight glass shows foam or bubbles, the system could
be low on charge. Occasional foam or bubbles are normal
when the ambient temperature is above
43°C (110°F) or
below
21°C (70°F).Adjust the engine speed to 1,500 rpm. Block the air-flow
thru the condenser to increase the compressor discharge
pressure to 1,422 to 1,520
kPa (206 to 220 psi). If sight
glass still shows bubbles or foam, system charge level is
low.The refrigerant system will not be low on charge unless
there is a leak. Find and repair the leak. If the leak can be
repaired without discharging the system an oil level check
is not necessary. Use the procedure for correcting low
refrigerant level found in the Refrigerant System Service
Procedure Section.DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH
The dual-pressure switch is a combination of the low-pressureswitch (for checking the quantity of refrigerant) and the,
high-pressure switch (for prevention of overheating); it is
installed on the tube, and, when the pressure becomes
approximately 210 kPa (30 psi) or lower, the compressor stops,thus preventing the compressor from being damaged by heat.
When the pressure reaches 2,700
kPa (384 psi) or higher, the
compressor stops, thus preventing overheating. There is
generally no necessity for inspection; if, however, an unusual
condition, such as non-operation of the compressor is encoun-tered, check by following the procedures below.
(1) Check for continuity of the dual-pressure switch.
NOTEIf the air temperature drops to
0°C (32°F) or lower during
cold weather, the air conditioner will not operate (no
continuity).(2) If there is an insufficient amount of refrigerant, check the
refrigerant amount by looking through the sight glass of thereceiver; supply refrigerant if necessary.
(Refer to P.24-21.)

REFRIGERANT LEAK REPAIR PROCEDURE N24FtiAOLost Charge
If the system has lost all charge due to a leak:
(1) Evacuate the system. (See procedure.)
(2) Charge the system with approximately one pound of
refrigerant.(3) Check for leaks.
(4) Discharge the system.
(5) Repair leaks.
(6) Replace receiver drier.
Caution
Replacement filter-drier units must be sealed while in
storage. The drier used in these units will saturate
water quickly upon exposure to the atmosphere. When
installing a drier, have all tools and supplies ready for
quick reassembly to avoid keeping the system open
any longer than necessary.
(7) Evacuate and charge the system.
Low Charge
If the system has not lost all of its refrigerant charge; locate
and repair all leaks. If it is necessary to increase the system
pressure to find the leak (because of an especially low charge)add of refrigerant. If it is possible to repair the leak without
discharging the refrigerant system, use the procedure for
correcting low refrigerant level.
CORRECTING LOW REFRIGERANT LEVEL
Since the refrigeration system is completely sealed, refrigerant
level will not be low unless there is a leak in the system. Beforeadding refrigerant when the cause of low level is not known,
the system should be tested for leaks. Assuming that leaks
have been corrected without discharging the system, proceed
with partial charge.
Install and connect manifold gauge set.
(1) Close both gauge set manifold valves.
(2) Connect the suction gauge test hose to the suction port of
the compressor. Connect the discharge gauge test hose tothe discharge port.
(3) Connect one end of long test hose to center manifold
outlet, other end to refrigerant dispensing manifold.
(4) Close two dispensing manifold valves and open remaining
dispensing manifold valve. Remove protective cap from
opened valve.

24-18 HEATERS AND AIR CONDITIONING - Service Adjustment Procedures
(5) Screw a can of R-12 to the opened manifold valve. Be sure
gasket is in place and in good condition. Tighten refrigerantcan and manifold locking nut to insure a good seal. Do not
overtighten 8 to
11 Nm (6 to 8 ft.lbs.) is sufficient if gasket
is in good condition.
(6) Turn manifold valve (above the refrigerant can) completely
clockwise to puncture the can. This closes the valve and
seals the refrigerant in the can.
Caution
Never heat small cans of refrigerant over
40°C (104°F)as they may explode.
(7) Place the refrigerant in a large pan of water heated to 52°C
(104°F). Place pan of water containing the refrigerant can
on an accurate scale so the amount of refrigerant added
can be weighed. Open the refrigerant manifold valve.
(8) Purge all air from test hoses. Air in the system will be
trapped in the condenser causing abnormally high dis-
charge pressures and interfering with condensing of the
refrigerant.(9) Slightly loosen both test hoses at the gauge set manifold.
Tighten the hoses as soon as the air is purged.
(10)Slightly loosen charging hose connection at gauge set
manifold. This will purge air from the charging hose.
Tighten connection as soon as air is purged.
(I l)With vehicle windows open and hood up, operate engine at1,500 rpm and jump the low pressure switch terminals
located on the receiver drier so the clutch will remain
engaged.
(12)Place air conditioner control on air conditioner and place theblower switch on high.
(13)lf necessary, block the condenser to maintain a discharge
pressure of 1,422 to 1,520
kPa (206 to 220 psi). System
must be charged through the evaporator suction service
ports as follows:
(a) Slowly open the suction service gauge valve.
Meter flow of refrigerant by adjusting, the suciton
service gauge valve so that pressure registered at the
suction service gauge does not exceed 345 kPa (50 psi).Keep refrigerant container upright.
(b) Add refrigerant gas until there is no foam visible at the
sight glass.
Add an additional
170 g (6 oz.)
(c) Close the suction gauge valve.
CautionToo much refrigerant in the system can cause
abnormally high discharge pressures. Care must beused so that the exact recommended amount or
refrigerant is added after foam clears in the sight
glass.(d) Close dispensing manifold valve. Remove test hoses
and adapters from the service ports of compressor,
install protective caps at service ports and reconnect
wiring.(e) Check system performance.

HEATERS AND AIR CONDITIONING - Service Adjustment Procedures 241$19Oil collector can
2OAO464DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Since the air conditioning refrigerant system is pressurized, it
will be necessary to completely discharge the system (in a wellventilated area) before replacing any refrigerant component.
The procedure is as follows:
(1) Install manifold gauge set. Make sure the gauge set valves
are closed before attaching the hoses to the refrigerant
system.(2) Install a long hose to the manifold gauge set connector.
Run this hose to the oil collector can near a shop exhaust
system.A good oil collector can may be made from a large empty
coffee can with a plastic top. Slit the plastic top in the formof a
Y to make an entrance for the refrigerant hose and an
exit for the gas.
(3) Open the compressor discharge and suction line pressure
valves and blow the refrigerant into the oil collector can.
Watch to make sure the hose does not blow out of the
collector can.
(4) When the system has been completely discharged, mea-
sure the amount of oil collected in the can. The amount of
oil measured should be added to the refrigerant system
before it is re-charged. Add new oil-discard the used oil.
CautionIt is important to have the correct amount of oil in the
refrigerant system.
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication
and cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increasedischarge air temperature.
When a IOPAI 7 compressor is installed at the factory, it
contains 80 cc (4.8
cu.in.) of refrigerant oil. While the air
conditioning system is in operation, the oil is carried
through the entire system by the refrigerant.
Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in various partsof the system.
When the following system components are changed, it is
necessary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being
removed with the component.
Compressor:30 cc (1.8 cu.in.1
Condenser:20 cc (1.2 cu.in.1
Evaporator:30 cc (1.8 cu.in.)
