AIR CONDITIONING & HEAT
A/C System Precautions
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt
to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.
BEFORE OPENING THE SYSTEM
Before disconnecting any lines or fittings, the system must
be completely discharged using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling
equipment.
DISCHARGING A/C SYSTEM
NOTE: Recent findings by the EPA indicate that R-11, R-12 and R-113
are harmful to the Earths' protective Ozone layer. Make every
attempt possible, to avoid discharging R-11, R-12 or R-113
into the atmosphere.
1) Remove service valve caps and install gauges. For high
side gauge hose, Adapter (D81L-19703-A) must be used to connect to
high side service valve.
2) Place open end of center hose in garage exhaust outlet or
in a well ventilated area. Slightly open low side gauge valve and let
refrigerant escape slowly without loosing refrigerant oil.
3) When system is nearly discharged, using approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment, open high side gauge valve
to release any pressure trapped in compressor. Close valves
immediately after discharging to prevent entry of moisture.
DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
1) After system is discharged, using approved refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment, carefully clean entire area around
coupling nut to prevent dirt entering system. Always use two wrenches
to avoid twisting or distorting lines and fittings (hold fitting with
one wrench while loosening coupling nut with second wrench).
2) Cap or plug all LINES and FITTINGS immediately to prevent
entry of air and moisture into system. Do not remove these caps until
connections are being made.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
When components are replaced, system oil level must be
adjusted. Add refrigeration oil to replacement component. See
Compressor oil Check article, as well as, Component Oil Replacement
Quantities" chart under "A/C SYSTEM SPECS" article in this section.
USING R-12 REFRIGERANT - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Always work in a well-ventilated, clean area. Refrigerant
(R-12) is heavier than oxygen, and will displace oxygen in a confined
Page 135 of 1333
area. Always wear eye protection when working around air conditioning
systems and R-12. The system's high pressure can cause severe injury
to eyes and skin if a hose were to burst. R-12 evaporates quickly
when exposed to atmosphere, freezing anything it contacts.
2) Use care when handling refrigerant containers. DO NOT drop
or strike containers or expose refrigerant containers to excessive
heat. Containers must never be heated more than 125
F (52 C). Never
expose R-12 directly to open flame.
CAUTION: When R-12 is exposed to an open flame, drawn into a running
engine, or detected with a Halide (propane) leak tester,
poisonous phosgene gas is formed. Keep work areas ventilated
and avoid running engines near work area.
USING INDIVIDUAL R-12 CANS
Disposable refrigerant cans (referred to as one pound cans)
have a flat type seal or a screw type seal, and proper can tap must be
used for each type. Be sure sealing gasket on can tap is in good
condition. A proper safety can tap will prevent refrigerant from
flowing back into open can, as tap has a one-way flow control.
NOTE: Recent findings by the EPA indicate that refrigerant is
harmful to the Earth's protective Ozone layer. When
discharging refrigerant avoid allowing refrigerant to enter
the atmosphere. Refrigerant recovery system should be used
when discharging the system.
MULTI-CAN DISPENSING VALVES
A multi-can dispensing valve allows attachment of several
cans of refrigerant, and is a good substitute when a bulk container is
not available. Cans are installed onto each leg of multi-can
dispensing valve in the same manner as the individual cans, and each
leg has its own can tap.
CAN TAP INSTALLATION FLAT TYPE SEAL CANS
On cam-lock or one-piece can taps, first turn the handle
outward to the fully open position. Securely engage locking lugs over
the can flange, and lock them in place by turning cam lock or locking
nut. Screw tap assembly into adapter so sealing gasket is fully seated
against the can top. Turn tap inward to pierce the can and close the
tap. DO NOT open tap until ready to purge the service hose or dispense
refrigerant into the system.
On 2-piece can taps, be certain tap handle is turned fully
inward to the closed position. Check that locking base is turned to
its outer limit. Securely engage locking lugs over the can flange.
Turn entire tap assembly (without disturbing the closed setting)
downward into the locking base to pierce the can. DO NOT open tap
until ready to dispense into system.
SCREW TYPE SEAL CANS
Ensure can tap is fully closed. Screw refrigerant can into
can tap fitting until tight. This will pierce the can. Connect tap to
center hose on manifold gauge set. DO NOT open tap until ready to
dispense R-12 into system.
WARNING: DO NOT open high side hand valve while air conditioning
