ARTICLE BEGINNING
1990 AIR CONDITIONING & HEAT
Compressor Oil Checking
ISOLATING COMPRESSOR
NOTE: Only compressors with stem-type service valves can be
isolated.
1) Connect service gauge set to the compressor service valves
and open compressor valves slightly (turn in clockwise). Start engine
and operate air conditioning. Slowly turn compressor suction valve
clockwise toward closed (front-seated) position.
2) When suction pressure is reduced to zero or less, turn off
engine and compressor and quickly turn suction valve stem in to full
front-seated position. Suction pressure should be slightly above zero.
Turn discharge valve into front-seated position.
3) To check oil level, slowly open compressor crankcase plug
to relieve any remaining pressure. After oil level is corrected, cap
service gauge ports on both valves. Back-seat suction service valve to
allow refrigerant to enter compressor. Open discharge valve halfway.
4) Loosen discharge service valve cap, allowing refrigerant
pressure to force air out of compressor. Back-seat service valve and
tighten cap. Compressor is now ready for operation.
REFRIGERANT OIL
Only new, pure, moisture-free refrigerant oil should be used
in the air conditioning system. This oil is highly refined and
dehydrated to a point where moisture content is less than 10 parts per
million. The oil container must be tightly closed at all times when
not in use, or moisture will be absorbed into the refrigerant oil from
the air.
SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Recent findings by the EPA indicate that refrigerant is
harmful to the earth's protective Ozone layer. When
discharging refrigerant, DO NOT allow refrigerant to enter
the atmosphere. If available, use refrigerant
recovery/recycle systems when discharging system. Always
follow manufacturer's instructions.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
If compressor has stem-type service valves, it can be
isolated and removed without discharging entire system. See ISOLATING
COMPRESSOR at the beginning of this article. Otherwise, discharge
system completely before loosening any fittings.

DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS TEST
After system is discharged, carefully clean area around all
fittings to be opened. Always use 2 wrenches when tightening or
loosening fittings to avoid twisting or distorting lines. Cap or plug
all openings as soon as lines are removed. DO NOT remove caps until
immediately before connections are made. This will keep entry of air
and moisture to a minimum.
CONNECTING LINES AND FITTINGS
A new gasket or "O" ring should be used in all instances when
connecting lines or fittings. Dip "O" ring in new refrigerant oil and
ensure it is not twisted during installation. Always use 2 wrenches to
prevent damage to lines and fittings.
PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
After component service or replacement has been completed and
all connections have been made, evacuate system thoroughly with a
vacuum pump. Charge system with proper amount of refrigerant and
perform a leak test. See REFRIGERANT OIL & R-12 SPECIFICATIONS chart
in this section for system capacities. Be sure to check all fittings
that have been opened. After system has been leak tested, make a
system performance check.
NOTE: Air conditioning systems will not normally need addition of
refrigerant oil unless definite oil loss has occurred due to
ruptured lines, leaking compressor seals, compressor
overhaul or component replacement.
ATSUGI ROTARY VANE DRAIN & REFILL
1) Before checking and adjusting oil level, operate
compressor at engine idling speed, with controls set for maximum
cooling and high blower speed, for 20 to 30 minutes to return oil to
compressor.
2) Stop engine, discharge refrigerant and remove compressor
from vehicle. See SERVICING PRECAUTIONS at beginning of article. Drain
compressor oil from compressor discharge port and measure the amount.
Oil is sometimes hard to drain when compressor is cool. Remove oil
while compressor is warm.
3) If the amount drained is less than 3 ounces, conduct leak
tests at system connections, and if necessary, repair or replace
faulty parts. Check purity of oil and adjust oil level as follows.
4) If amount drained was above 3 ounces, oil level is right.
Pour in same amount as was drained. If amount drained was below 3
ounces, pour in 3 ounces of new refrigerant oil.
