R-134a Retrofits Kits

Revisions are marked with a bar.

ISSUE:

Jaguar engineered kits are available which convert R-12 charged air conditioning refrigerant systems to HFC R-134a systems.

Should Jaguar owners wish to convert their R-12 systems at their own expense, retrofit kits are available as shown. Retrofitting procedures are shown in the Technical Guide - Air Conditioning System - HFC Refrigerant Retrofit - part Number JTP 425 (supplied to dealers 6/94).

NOTE:
The primary changes involve the replacement of the existing compressor lubricating oil with an oil compatible with both HFC R-134a refrigerant and with the residual R-12 lubricating oil. It is not possible to completely flush R-12 type lubricating oil from the refrigerant system prior to changing to Ester oil and R-134a. Additionally, it is necessary to replace the input shaft seal of the Sanden compressor with a seal compatible with the R-134a refrigerant and oil as described in the Technical Guide. Harrison compressors do not require replacement of the shaft seal.
