CSV613 Variable Displacement Compressor
GENERAL INFORMATIONNJHA02061. The CSV613 compressor differs from previous units. The vent temperatures of the CSV613 compressor
do not drop too far below 5ÉC (41ÉF) when:
+evaporator intake air temperature is less than 20ÉC (68ÉF)
+engine is running at speeds less than 1,500 rpm.
This is because the CSV613 compressor provides a means of ªcapacityº control.
2. The CSV613 compressor provides refrigerant control under varying conditions. During cold winters, it may
not produce high refrigerant pressure discharge (compared to previous units) when used with air condi-
tioning systems.
3. A ªclankingº sound may occasionally be heard during refrigerant charge. The sound indicates that the tilt
angle of the swash plate has changed and is not a problem.
4. For air conditioning systems with the CSV613 compressor, the clutch remains engaged unless: the sys-
tem main switch, fan switch or ignition switch is turned OFF. When ambient (outside) temperatures are
low or when the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, the clutch is disengaged to protect the compressor.
5. A constant range of suction pressure is maintained when engine speed is greater than a certain value. It
normally ranges from 147 to 177 kPa (1.47 to 1.77 bar, 1.5 to 1.8 kg/cm
2, 21 to 26 psi) under varying con-
ditions.
In previous compressors, however, suction pressure was reduced with increases in engine speed.

3. Capacity Control=NJHA0207S0203+Refrigerant pressure on suction side is low during high speed driving or when ambient or interior tempera-
ture is low.
+The bellows expands when refrigerant pressure on the suction pressure side drops below approximately
177 kPa (1.77 bar, 1.8 kg/cm
2, 26 psi).
Since suction pressure is low, it makes the suction port close and the discharge port open. Thus, crank-
case pressure becomes high as high pressure enters the crankcase.
+The force acts around the journal pin near the swash plate, and is generated by the pressure difference
before and behind the piston.
The drive lug and journal pin are located where the piston generates the highest pressure. Piston pres-
sure is between suction pressure Ps and discharge pressure Pd, which is near suction pressure Ps. If
crankcase pressure Pc rises due to capacity control, the force around the journal pin makes the swash
plate angle decrease and also the piston stroke decrease. In other words, crankcase pressure increase
triggers pressure difference between the piston and the crankcase. The pressure difference changes the
angle of the swash plate.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES FOR ABNORMAL PRESSURENJHA0151Whenever system's high and/or low side pressure is abnormal, diagnose using a manifold gauge. The marker
above the gauge scale in the following tables indicates the standard (normal) pressure range. Since the stan-
dard (normal) pressure, however, differs from vehicle to vehicle, refer to HA-72 (ªAmbient air temperature-to-
operating pressure tableº).

3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1
to 2 in)/sec.
Checking ProcedureNJHA0168S03To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no
refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals, or cigarette smoke in the
vicinity of the vehicle. Perform the leak test in calm area (low
air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not dis-
persed.
1. Turn engine off.
2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service
ports.
3. Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345.2 kPa (3.45
bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2, 50.1 psi) above 16ÉC (61ÉF). If less than
specification, recover/evacuate and recharge the system with
the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE:
At temperatures below 16ÉC (61ÉF), leaks may not be detected
since the system may not reach 345.2 kPa (3.45 bar, 3.52 kg/cm
2,
50.1 psi).
4. Conduct the leak test from the high side (compressor dis-
chargeato evaporator inletg) to the low side (evaporator drain
hosehto shaft sealk). Refer to HA-91. Perform a leak check
for the following areas carefully. Clean the component to be
checked and move the leak detector probe completely around
the connection/component.
+Compressor
Check the fitting of high and low pressure hoses, relief valve
and shaft seal.
+Liquid tank
Check the pressure switch, refrigerant pressure sensor, tube
fitting, weld seams and the fusible plug mount.
+Service valves
Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps
are secured on the service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE:
After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe
any residue from valves to prevent any false readings by leak
detector.
+Cooling unit (Evaporator)
With engine OFF, turn blower fan on ªHighº for at least 15
seconds to dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit.
Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time (refer to the
manufacturer's recommended procedure for actual wait time)
before inserting the leak detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least ten seconds. Use caution
not to contaminate the ptobe tip with water or dirt that may be
in the drain hose.
