AIR CONDITIONING

The A/C refrigerant system is a clutch cycling orifice tube type. The system components include:
- A/C compressor
- Clutch and clutch field coil
- A/C condenser core
- A/C evaporator core
- Suction accumulator
- Connecting refrigerant lines

The refrigeration system operation is controlled by:
- Evaporator core orifice
- A/C cycling switch
- A/C pressure sensor
- A/C compressor pressure relief valve

The refrigerant system incorporates an A/C compressor controlled by an A/C cycling switch.

The A/C cycling switch senses the A/C suction pressure to control A/C compressor operation.

An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is installed in the A/C compressor to protect the refrigerant system against excessively high refrigerant pressures.

The A/C evaporator core orifice is installed in the condenser-to-evaporator tube to meter the liquid refrigerant into the A/C evaporator core.
