HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: COMPRESSOR: INSTALLATION
1. ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL
(a) When replacing the cooler compressor with a new one, gradually discharge the refrigerant gas from the service valve, and then drain the following amount of oil from the new cooler compressor before installation.
Standard:
(Oil capacity inside the new cooler compressor: 135 + 15 cc (4.57 + 0.51 fl.oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor and magnetic clutch) = (Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor when replacing)
NOTICE:
* When checking the compressor oil level, follow the A/C system precautions.
* If a new cooler compressor is installed without removing some oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount will be too large. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigerant failure.
* If the volume of oil remaining in the removed cooler compressor is too small, check for oil leakage.
* Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent for compressor oil.
2. INSTALL COOLER COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
(a) Install the stud bolt.
Torque : 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)
(b) Temporarily install the cooler compressor assembly with the 3 bolts and nut.
(c) Tighten the 3 bolts and nut in the sequence shown in the illustration.
for bolt - Torque : 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf)
for nut - Torque : 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf)
(d) Connect the connector.
3. CONNECT SUCTION HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the attached vinyl tape from the hose.
(b) Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the cooler compressor.
Compressor oil:
ND-OIL 8 or equivalent
(c) Install the O-ring to the suction hose.
(d) Connect the suction hose to the cooler compressor with the 2 bolts.
for bolt A - Torque : 7.8 Nm (80 kgf-cm, 69 in-lbf)
for bolt B - Torque : 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf)
