SAFETY NOTICE

SAFETY
SAFETY NOTICE
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Proper service and repair is extremely important for safe machine operation. The service and repair techniques recommended by Komatsu and described in this manual are both effective and safe. Some of these techniques require the use of tools specially designed by Komatsu for the specific purpose. To prevent injury to workers, the symbol k is used to mark safety precautions in this manual. The cautions accompanying these symbols should always be followed carefully. If any dangerous situation arises or may possibly arise, first consider safety, and take the necessary actions to deal with the situation.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Mistakes in operation are extremely dangerous. Read the Operation and Maintenance Manual carefully BEFORE operating the machine. 1. Before carrying out any greasing or repairs, read all the precautions given on the decals which are fixed to the machine. 2. When carrying out any operation, always wear safety shoes and helmet. Do not wear loose work clothes, or clothes with buttons missing. Always wear safety glasses when hitting parts with a hammer. Always wear safety glasses when grinding parts with a grinder, etc.

6. Decide a place in the repair workshop to keep tools and removed parts. Always keep the tools and parts in their correct places. Always keep the work area clean and make sure that there is no dirt or oil on the floor. Smoke only in the areas provided for smoking. Never smoke while working. PREPARATIONS FOR WORK 7. Before adding oil or making any repairs, park the machine on hard, level ground, and block the wheels or tracks to prevent the machine from moving. 8. Before starting work, lower blade, ripper, bucket or any other work equipment to the ground. If this is not possible, insert the safety pin or use blocks to prevent the work equipment from falling. In addition, be sure to lock all the control levers and hang warning signs on them. 9. When disassembling or assembling, support the machine with blocks, jacks or stands before starting work. 10.Remove all mud and oil from the steps or other places used to get on and off the machine. Always use the handrails, ladders or steps when getting on or off the machine. Never jump on or off the machine. If it is impossible to use the handrails, ladders or steps, use a stand to provide safe footing.

3. If welding repairs are needed, always have a trained, experienced welder carry out the work. When carrying out welding work, always wear welding gloves, apron, hand shield, cap and other clothes suited for welding work. 4. When carrying out any operation with two or more workers, always agree on the operating procedure before starting. Always inform your fellow workers before starting any step of the operation. Before starting work, hang UNDER REPAIR signs on the controls in the operator's compartment. 5. Keep all tools in good condition and learn the correct way to use them.

SAFETY

SAFETY NOTICE

PRECAUTIONS DURING WORK 11. When removing the oil filler cap, drain plug or hydraulic pressure measuring plugs, loosen them slowly to prevent the oil from spurting out. Before disconnecting or removing components of the oil, water or air circuits, first remove the pressure completely from the circuit. 12.The water and oil in the circuits are hot when the engine is stopped, so be careful not to get burned. Wait for the oil and water to cool before carrying out any work on the oil or water circuits. 13.Before starting work, remove the leads from the battery. Always remove the lead from the negative () terminal first. 14.When raising heavy components, use a hoist or crane. Check that the wire rope, chains and hooks are free from damage. Always use lifting equipment which has ample capacity. Install the lifting equipment at the correct places. Use a hoist or crane and operate slowly to prevent the component from hitting any other part. Do not work with any part still raised by the hoist or crane. 15.When removing covers which are under internal pressure or under pressure from a spring, always leave two bolts in position on opposite sides. Slowly release the pressure, then slowly loosen the bolts to remove. 16.When removing components, be careful not to break or damage the wiring. Damaged wiring may cause electrical fires. 17.When removing piping, stop the fuel or oil from spilling out. If any fuel or oil drips onto the floor, wipe it up immediately. Fuel or oil on the floor can cause you to slip, or can even start fires. 18.As a general rule, do not use gasoline to wash parts. In particular, use only the minimum of gasoline when washing electrical parts.

19.Be sure to assemble all parts again in their original places. Replace any damaged parts with new parts. When installing hoses and wires, be sure that they will not be damaged by contact with other parts when the machine is being operated. 20.When installing high pressure hoses, make sure that they are not twisted. Damaged tubes are dangerous, so be extremely careful when installing tubes for high pressure circuits. Also, check that connecting parts are correctly installed. 21.When assembling or installing parts, always use the specified tightening torques. When installing protective parts such as guards, or parts which vibrate violently or rotate at high speed, be particularly careful to check that they are installed correctly. 22.When aligning two holes, never insert your fingers or hand. Be careful not to get your fingers caught in a hole. 23.When measuring hydraulic pressure, check that the measuring tool is correctly assembled before taking any measurements. 24.Take care when removing or installing the tracks of track-type machines. When removing the track, the track separates suddenly, so never let anyone stand at either end of the track.

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
HOISTING k Heavy parts (25 kg or more) must be lifted with a hoist, etc. In the DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY section, every part weighing 25 kg or more is indicated clearly with the symbol 4 If a part cannot be smoothly removed from the machine by hoisting, the following checks should be made: 1) Check for removal of all bolts fastening the part to the relative parts. 2) Check for existence of another part causing interference with the part to be removed. Slinging near the edge of the hook may cause the rope to slip off the hook during hoisting, and a serious accident can result. Hooks have maximum strength at the middle portion.

WIRE ROPES 1) Use adequate ropes depending on the weight of parts to be hoisted, referring to the table below: Wire ropes (Standard "Z" or "S" twist ropes without galvanizing)
Rope diameter mm 10 11.5 12.5 14 16 18 20 22.4 30 40 50 60 Allowable load kN 9.8 13.7 15.7 21.6 27.5 35.3 43.1 54.9 98.1 176.5 274.6 392.2 tons 1.0 1.4 1.6 2.2 2.8 3.6 4.4 5.6 10.0 18.0 28.0 40.0

3) Do not sling a heavy load with one rope alone, but sling with two or more ropes symmetrically wound onto the load.

k Slinging with one rope may cause turning of the load during hoisting, untwisting of the rope, or slipping of the rope from its original winding position on the load, which can result in a dangerous accident.

4) Do not sling a heavy load with ropes forming a wide hanging angle from the hook. When hoisting a load with two or more ropes, the force subjected to each rope will increase with the hanging angles. The table below shows the variation of allowable load kN {kg} when hoisting is made with two ropes, each of which is allowed to sling up to 9.8 kN {1000 kg} vertically, at various hanging angles. When two ropes sling a load vertically, up to 19.6 kN {2000 kg} of total weight can be suspended. This weight becomes 9.8 kN {1000 kg} when two ropes make a 120 hanging angle. On the other hand, two ropes are subjected to an excessive force as large as 39.2 kN {4000 kg} if they sling a 19.6 kN {2000 kg} load at a lifting angle of 150.

The allowable load value is estimated to be onesixth or one-seventh of the breaking strength of the rope used. 2) Sling wire ropes from the middle portion of the hook.

CONVERSION TABLE

CONVERSION TABLE
METHOD OF USING THE CONVERSION TABLE The Conversion Table in this section is provided to enable simple conversion of figures. For details of the method of using the Conversion Table, see the example given below.

EXAMPLE Method of using the Conversion Table to convert from millimeters to inches 1. Convert 55 mm into inches. (1) Locate the number 50 in the vertical column at the left side, take this as A, then draw a horizontal line from A. (2) Locate the number 5 in the row across the top, take this as B, then draw a perpendicular line down from B. (3) Take the point where the two lines cross as C. This point C gives the value when converting from millimeters to inches. Therefore, 55 mm = 2.165 inches. 2. Convert 550 mm into inches. (1) The number 550 does not appear in the table, so divide by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the left) to convert it to 55 mm. (2) Carry out the same procedure as above to convert 55 mm to 2.165 inches. (3) The original value (550 mm) was divided by 10, so multiply 2.165 inches by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the right) to return to the original value. This gives 550 mm = 21.65 inches.

Temperature Fahrenheit-Centigrade Conversion ; a simple way to convert a Fahrenheit temperature reading into a Centigrade temperature reading or vice versa is to enter the accompanying table in the center or boldface column of figures. These figures refer to the temperature in either Fahrenheit or Centigrade degrees. If it is desired to convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade degrees, consider the center column as a table of Fahrenheit temperatures and read the corresponding Centigrade temperature in the column at the left. If it is desired to convert from Centigrade to Fahrenheit degrees, consider the center column as a table of Centigrade values, and read the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature on the right.

FUNDAMENTALS OF AIR CONDITIONING


1. Principle of air conditioning
If alcohol is applied to your skin, you feel cold. If you sprinkle water over your garden in summer, you feel cool. The cause of these phenomena is that alcohol and water absorb heat (which is called latent heat) from material around them when they evaporate. That is, a liquid (such as alcohol, water, etc.) needs heat (heat of vaporization) to change to a gas (alcohol vapor, steam, etc.) and the material from which heat is absorbed (the material in contact with the liquid) is cooled. These natural phenomena directly show the principle of air conditioning. Coolness and coldness are obtained by utilizing these phenomena. If the vapor of the liquid used for air conditioning is discharged into the atmosphere, however, the liquid must be supplied constantly, and that is not practical. Accordingly, the vapor is cooled to be liquefied again and circulated. To liquefy a gas, it must be cooled first. If it is compressed at this time, it is liquefied more easily. Then, a compressor and a condenser are used to compress and cool the gas.
Alcohol evaporates.

2. Basic refrigerating cycle


2.1 Configuration
Generally, an air conditioner means equipment which circulates a volatile liquid (called a refrigerant) in a sealed pipe circuit and evaporates and liquefies it repeatedly during circulation. The basic components of this equipment are as follows. Evaporator The refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator to absorb heats from around the pipe and cool the room. Compressor The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas evaporated in the evaporator so that the gas will be liquefied easily in the condenser. Condenser The condenser cools and liquefies the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas compressed with the compressor. Expansion valve The expansion valve is a kind of a choke valve, which keeps the pressure in the evaporator low. That is, the high-pressure refrigerant liquid is spouted through a narrow gap into the evaporator, where it becomes low-pressure and low-temperature mist and evaporates rapidly.

Heat is absorbed from material around evaporator.

The condition of the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle is as follows. 1 The refrigerant compressed in the compressor is high-temperature and high-pressure gas. 2 As the refrigerant passes through the condenser, it is cooled and liquefied. It must be liquefied completely at the outlet of the condenser. If the refrigerant is not cooled sufficiently in the condenser, some of it is still gas at the outlet of the condenser and the refrigerating capacity is lowered. 3 After the liquefied refrigerant passes the expansion valve, it becomes mist. The expansion valve is called the choke valve, too. The high-pressure refrigerant liquid is spouted through a small hole so that it will evaporate easily. 4 In the evaporator, the refrigerant mist evaporates rapidly and absorbs the heat inside the cab. The refrigerant gasifies completely near the outlet of the evaporator.

Air conditioner

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

FUNDAMENTALS OF AIR CONDITIONING

If the refrigerant is insufficient, all of it vaporizes before it reaches the evaporator outlet and the evaporator capacity lowers. If the refrigerant is too much, on the other hand, all of it does not vaporize in the evaporator and flows in the compressor in the form of liquid and the compressor may be broken since it compresses the liquid. Accordingly, the quantity of the refrigerant must be controlled according to various conditions. The air conditioner does not only lower the indoor temperature but lowers the indoor humidity to keep the environment fresh. That is, if the warm indoor air passes through the evaporator, it is cooled and its moisture is condensed into water drops on the evaporator fins. As a result, the moisture in the air is removed and the humidity is lowered. The water drops on the fins are discharged out of the machine through a hose.

[Reference] Condensation If a glass containing iced water is left in the atmosphere, water drops are formed on the glass surface. This phenomenon shows that the steam in the air (the vaporized water which the air always contains) is cooled and condensed by the iced water in the glass. (The iced water is warmed by the heat of condensation.)

3. Refrigerant
A material which circulates in a refrigerating cycle to transfer heat is called the refrigerant. In air conditioners, HFC134a (R134a) which is a kind of Freon and which contains no chlorine is used.

3.1 Characteristics of refrigerant


The characteristics of HFC134a (R134a) are shown in the following figure.

Gas

Liquefied if cooled by this temperature

Refrigerant temperature (C)

Liquid

Gauge pressure

As indicated by the above curve, the refrigerant under high pressure is liquid up to a relatively high temperature. Under low pressure, however, the refrigerant vaporizes at 0C or even at 10C. If the refrigerant vaporizes at 0C, the evaporator is also at 0C. The air passes through the evaporator is cooled consequently. If the pressure is lowered to a state where the refrigerant vaporizes at 5C, the evaporator is kept at 5C. As a result, the surface of the evaporator is frosted and air does not flow well and the refrigerating performance is lowered. The gasified refrigerant must be liquefied. Considering the environment of the condenser on a construction machinery in summer, it is impossible to keep the condenser temperature as low as 40C. If the condenser temperature can be kept as low as about 60C, HFC134a is liquefied under pressure of about 1.7 MPa {about 17 kg/cm2}. In addition, if the refrigerant gas is compressed to 1.7 MPa (with the compressor), its temperature rises to about 80C. That is, the above curve shows the following; The refrigerant gas is heated to about 80C at the condenser inlet. If it is cooled by about 20C at the condenser outlet, however, it becomes liquid of about 60C.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

FUNDAMENTALS OF AIR CONDITIONING

[Reference] Refrigerant HFC134a (R134a) HFC134a is used as the refrigerant of air conditioners for the following reasons. 1. HFC134a does not break the ozone layer which preserves the global environment. 2. HFC134a has much heat of vaporization and liquefies easily. 3. HFC134a does not burn or explode. 4. HFC134a is not toxic or corrosive and does not injure foods and clothes. 5. It is easy to obtain HFC134a. Substitutive Freon CFC12 (R12) which was a conventional Freon (halogenated carbide containing fluorine) had been used for air conditioners of construction machines. In 1996, however, it was resolved in Montreal World Conference that CFC12 should not be used any more to preserve the global environment. As a result, HFC134a (R134a) which does not break the ozone layer is used as a substitute for the conventional Freon.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

FUNDAMENTALS OF AIR CONDITIONING

The environment and structure of a construction machine air conditioner are different from a home air conditioner in the following points. 1 Indoor temperature varies largely. The temperature in the operators cab is affected by the outside temperature largely. It becomes very high particularly when the machine is parked under a burning sun in summer. That is, The necessary quantity of the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle varies largely.

2 Compressor speed varies largely. The compressor speed of the home air conditioner is kept constant by the motor. On the other hand, the compressor of the construction machine air conditioner is driven with the engine and its speed varies largely. That is, The circulation rate of the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle varies largely.

To solve these problems, the expansion valve does not only work as a simple choke valve but regulates the circulation rate of the refrigerant automatically according to the compressor speed and air conditioning load. For this purpose, the receiver is installed to store excessive refrigerant temporarily. An actual construction machine air conditioner has various devices to control temperature, air flow, etc. and keep the operators cab comfortable.

The types of the compressor are classified by the structure as shown below. 1 Swash plate type 2 Through vane type 3 Sliding vane type 4 Scroll type In addition to the above, the variable-capacity compressor is also used. Its capacity changes according to the necessary air conditioning capacity. The swash plate-type compressor is explained below.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

CONFIGURATION OF REFRIGERATING CYCLE

(1) Structure
In the swash plate-type compressor, 3 pairs (6 cylinders) or 5 pairs (10 cylinders) of pistons are set to the swash plate fixed to the shaft diagonally. If the shaft rotates, the swash plate reciprocates the pistons in the axial direction of the shaft. Both ends of each pair of the pistons are in cylinders. When the cylinder of one end of the pistons is in the compression process, the cylinder of the other end is in the suction process.

Principle of swash plate type compressor

On the valve plate at the cylinder end, there are a suction hole and a discharge hole to which a suction valve and a discharge valve are installed respectively. The inside of the compressor is lubricated with the compressor oil containing in the refrigerant gas and the oil splashed by the centrifugal force of the swash plate. Some models are lubricated forcibly with compressor oil by an oil pump.

1 Suction As the swash plate rotates, the pistons move. If a piston moves and the cylinder capacity is increased and the pressure in the cylinder lowers below the pressure on the low-pressure side of the refrigerating cycle, the suction valve is pushed open and the refrigerant gas flows in the cylinder. At this time, the discharge valve is fitted to the valve plate by the pressure on the high-pressure side to block the discharge hole of the valve plate. Accordingly, the refrigerant gas does not flow back from the highpressure side into the cylinder. 2 Compression If the cylinder capacity is reduced and the pressure in the cylinder rises above the pressure on the discharge side (high-pressure side), the discharge valve opens and the high-temperature and highpressure refrigerant gas is sent to the condenser. At this time, the suction valve is fitted to the valve plate by the pressure in the cylinder to block the suction hole of the valve plate. Accordingly, the refrigerant gas does not flow back into the suction side (low-pressure side).

CONFIGURATION OF REFRIGERATING CYCLE

[Reference] Pressure relief valve If the pressure on the high pressure side of the refrigerating cycle rises abnormally for some reason, the pressure relief valve of the compressor discharges a part of the refrigerant. Usually, however, the high-pressure pressure switch installed to the control system operates first to stop the compressor. Accordingly, the pressure relief valve does not operate immediately. Once the pressure relief valve operates, remove the cause. If the cause is not removed, the pressure relief valve will operate again.

3. Magnetic clutch
The air conditioner compressor is driven with the engine. Accordingly, it must be stopped or started again when the temperature reaches the set temperature or rises high. The magnetic clutch installed to the compressor is used for this purpose.
Magnetic clutch

The clutch hub of the magnetic clutch is fitted to the crankshaft of the compressor. While the compressor is turned off, only the pulley rotates. If the air conditioner switch is turned on, a current flows in the coil embedded in the stator. As a result, the stator becomes a strong electromagnet and attracts the clutch hub and the compressor rotates together with the pulley.

4. Condenser
The condenser cools the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas sent from the compressor to liquefied it. The condenser consists of tubes, fins, and a fan motor and is installed to the machine body. The refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor is about 1.7 MPa {about 17 kg/cm2} in pressure and about 80C in temperature, for example. When this refrigerant passes through the tubes, it is cooled and liquefied. Note: The pressure and temperature of the refrigerant vary with the atmospheric temperature, operating condition, etc.

5. Receiver tank
The refrigerant liquefied in the condenser is stored in the receiver temporarily so that it can be supplied to the evaporator according to the air conditioning load. The receiver tank has strainers and desiccant in it to remove "dirt" and "moisture" contained in the refrigerating cycle. If there is moisture in the refrigerating cycle, it can corrode the functional parts and can be frozen in the small hole of the expansion valve to block the refrigerant flow. a In this case, replace the receiver tank since the absorbing performance of the desiccant is lost. If the strainer is clogged badly (If the high pressure rises and the low pressure lowers), replace the receiver tank since the strainer cannot be cleaned.

Desiccant Strainer

[Reference] Separation of refrigerant gas and liquid The receiver tank does not only store the refriegerant temporarily but separates the refrigerant gas and liquid. All the refrigerant cooled in the condenser may not be liquefied, depending on the atmosphere condition. If the refrigerant gas is sent to the expansion valve, the air conditioning capacity is lowered. The refrigerant liquid is accumulated on the lower side of the receiver tank and the refrigerant gas is accumulated on the upper side. Since the refrigerant is taken out through the outlet pipe installed to the bottom of the receiver tank, the gas is separated from the liquid.

6. Expansion valve
The expansion valve has the following 2 functions. (1) Expand the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid sent from the receiver rapidly and change it to low-temperature and low-pressure mist by spouting it through a small hole. (2) Regulate the refrigerant flow rate according to the vaporizing condition of the refrigerant in the evaporator.

Expansion valve

Evaporator

To utilize the evaporator capacity fully, the refrigerant liquid must so absorb the heat from the air around the evaporator that it will vaporize completely at the evaporator outlet. For this porpose, the refrigerant flow rate is regulated automatically according to the fluctuation of the indoor temperature (air conditioning load) and the fluctuation of the compressor speed. a If the refrigerant flow rate is insufficient, the refrigerant in the evaporator vaporizes early and the cooling effect lowers. If the former is too high, on the other hand, the excessive refrigerant liquid does not vaporize but returns to the compressor, and the cooling effect lowers and the compressor valve is damaged.

6.1 Regulation of refrigerant flow rate


The refrigerant flow rate is regulated basically with the diaphragm chamber and the needle valve coupled with it. In the following figure, chamber A of the diaphragm chamber is filled with the refrigerant gas and sealed. The pressure in chamber A is high (low) when the refrigerant temperature near the evaporator outlet is high (low). (Since how the pressure in chamber A changes depends on the structure of the expansion valve, the concrete operation is explained later.) On the other hand, the evaporation pressure in the evaporator is applied from near the evaporator outlet to chamber B. While the refrigerant flow rate is constant, the diaphragm keeps the opening rate of the needle valve constant with the pressure in chambers A and B and the force of the spring. If the air conditioning load (indoor temperature, etc.) changes, the pressure in chamber A changes and moves the needle valve to the right or left to regulate the refrigerant flow rate.

6.2 Expansion valve (Box type)


(1) Structure
The box-type expansion valve consists a diaphragm, heat sensor rod, needle valve (ball), etc. The upper part of the diaphragm is filled with the refrigerant and sealed. The pressure at the evaporator outlet is applied to the lower part of the diaphragm.
Spring (Evaporator) Diaphragm

Heat sensor rod Needle (From receiver valve tank) (To compressor)

(2) Operation
The heat sensor rod senses the refrigerant temperature after it passes through the evaporator. The temperature at this time is transmitted through the heat sensor rod to the refrigerant gas in the upper part of the diaphragm chamber. As a result, the gas pressure changes according to the temperature and moves the heat sensor rod coupled with the diaphragm to regulate the opening rate of the needle valve. When evaporator outlet temperature is low (When air conditioning load is low) The gas pressure in the diaphragm chamber lowers and the gas volume decreases. As a result, the heat sensor rod moves to the right to close the needle valve. When evaporator outlet temperature is high (When air conditioning load is high) The gas pressure in the diaphragm chamber rises and the gas volume increases. As a result, the heat sensor rod moves to the left to open the needle valve, and more refrigerant is supplied to the evaporator.

[Reference] Expansion valve of even internal pressure type If the evaporator capacity is relatively little, this expansion valve of even internal pressure type is used. In this type, the evaporation pressure of the evaporator under the diaphragm is applied through the small hole (inlet of the evaporator) in the expansion valve. The other structure and operation are the same with the conventional type described above.

Expansion valve of even external pressure type If the evaporation pressure is sensed at the inlet of a large-sized evaporator, it is affected by the internal path resistance. To avoid this, an even-pressure tube is passed from near the evaporator outlet to sense the pressure. The above described conventional valve is this type.

Flow regulation standard of expansion valve To efficiently cool the indoor air which passes through the evaporator, the refrigerant in the evaporator must vaporize well to cool the air and must vaporize completely near the evaporator outlet. The figure at right shows this state of the refrigerant. The refrigerant liquid and gas are mixed together, that is, the refrigerant vapor is saturated in the part from the evaporator inlet to point A. Accordingly, the temperature is kept constant in this part. All the refrigerant is evaporated completely in the part from point A to point B, however, and its temperature rises (Superheated vapor). The flow regulation standard of the expansion valve is so set that the superheating temperature of the refrigerant vapor will be constant (e.g. 10C).

7. Evaporator
The refrigerant mist cooled and decompressed through the expansion valve vaporizes in large quantities. As a result, the evaporator is cooled. The warm air in the cab is moved and cooled through the evaporator by the fan. If the warm air is cooled below the dew point by the evaporator fins, the moisture in it condenses into water drops on the evaporator fins. These water drops are discharged through the drain hose out of the cab.

8. Sight glass
The sight glass is "an window" to observe the condition of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigeranting cycle. Generally, if bubbles are seen in this window, the refrigerant is insufficient. If the quantity of the refrigerant is proper, no bubbles are seen. The sight glass is usually installed to the top of the receiver. If it cannot be used at that position, it may be installed to the piping.

Sight glass

a No bubbles are seen, too, when there is not refrigerant (or there is too much refrigerant). a When HFC134a is used, if the testing conditions such as the compressor speed, pressure, etc. are wrong, bubbles are seen. a If the operation of the air conditioner is continued while the refrigerant is insufficient, the compressor may be broken.

1.2 Contents of control


The main controls of the air conditioner are as follows. Item 1. Temperature control Outline of control The temperature of the air cooled by the evaporator is measured with a thermistor and the compressor is turned on and off automatically at the set temperatures. The blower motor speed is set to 3 levels. The damper to select fresh air or circulated air is controlled. The damper to select air outlet in the cooling mode and heating mode is controlled. Frosting of the evaporator is prevented. Thermistor is used for this control. Abnormal refrigerant pressure is detected.

2. Temperature control
2.1 Thermistor method
When the cooler unit and heater unit are independent from each other and the airs from them cannot be mixed, the thermistor method is applied. The thermistor is a semiconductor, the resistance of which varies remarkably with the temperature. As shown in the figure, the resistance of the thermistor decreases as the temperature rises, and increases as the temperature lowers. The thermistor is installed to the rear of the evaporator to sense the temperature of the air flowing through the evaporator. The temperature control switch is on the control panel. The temperature is controlled by comparing the signal of the temperature control switch (desired temperature) with the signal of the thermistor in the air conditioner amplifier and turning on and off the compressor through the magnetic clutch. The signal of the thermistor is used to prevent frosting of the evaporator, too (This is described later).

3. Air flow control


Fresh air The quantity of the air blown into the cab is controlled by adjusting the blower motor speed. The blower motor is a ferrite motor. Its speed (air flow) is controlled to 3 levels by changing the resistor conected to the motor in series with the blower switch as shown in the circuit diagram. Circulated air

[Reference] Motor speed The speed (N) of a DC motor is in proportion to the motor terminal voltage (V) and in inverse proportion to the magnetic flux (). Speed N = K V/
q

Ferrite magnet

If ferrite magnets are used, the magnetic flux () is constant. Accordingly, the speed is controlled by changing the voltage applied to the motor with the resistor connected to the motor in series.

4. Circulated air and fresh air selection


If the circulated air and fresh air selector switch on the control panel is operated, the damper moves to select the fresh air or the circulated air. Fresh air: The outside air is taken into the cab. This mode is selected normally. Circulated air: This mode is used when the outside air is dirty or you need to cool or heat the cab quickly.

5. Defrosting control
If warm air blows against the evaporator fins and cooled there, the moisture in the air condenses into water drops on the evaporator fins. If the fin temperature is below 0C at this time, the water drops are frozen or frosted. This phenomenon is called frosting. If frosting occurs, the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator lowers and the full cooling capacity is not obtained. Frosting can be prevented by the following method. Thermostat method (ON/OFF switch) The evaporator temperature is sensed from the signal of the evaporator sensor installed to the rear of the evaporator. The compressor is turned OFF before the evaporator is frosted.

6. Compressor control
Judgment of abnormal refrigerant pressure
The pressure on the high-pressure side of the refrigerating cycle is sensed with a pressure switch. If it rises high abnormally, the compressor is stopped to prevent a trouble in the refrigerating cycle devices. Generally, the refrigerant pressure is sensed with a pressure switch installed between the receiver tank on the high-pressure side and expansion valve.

(1) Pressure switch


The pressure switch is a dual type, that is, it can detects both abnormally high pressure and abnormally low pressure.

Contact mechanism

1 Detection of abnormally high pressure If the high pressure in the refrigerating cycle rises abnormally, it can cause a trouble or breakage of the devices. Generally, the pressure switch to detect high pressure is turned off when the pressure rises above about 3.1 MPa {32 kg/cm2}. 2 Detection of abnormally low pressure When the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle is extremely insufficient or lost completely because of leakage, etc., if the compressor is started, it is not lubricated well and may be seized. To prevent this, the pressure switch turns off the compressor when the pressure on the high-pressure side lowers below about 0.2 MPa {2.0 kg/cm2} because of insufficiency of the refrigerant.

The gas leak detector is an electric tester used to check each joint of the refrigerating cycle for refrigerant leakage. Apply the probe to a part to be checked and move it slowly to check for leakage. If any refrigerant leaks from that part, the sounding intervals and flashing intervals become short. This leak detector can be used for both HFC134a (R134a) and R12 which is used for the conventional air conditioners.

4. Vacuum pump
When charging a refrigerating cycle with refrigerant, you must remove the all water from it. For this purpose, the refrigerating cycle is evacuated with a vacuum pump (Evacuation will be described later).

When a vacuum pump for conventional refrigerant R12 is used for HFC134a (R134a), a vacuum pump adapter is necessary. With this adapter, the above vacuum pump can be used for both HFC134a (R134a) and R12. [The current vacuum pump (manufactured by our company) can be used for both new and conventional refrigerants.]

[Reference] Vacuum pump adapter After the refrigerating cycle of an air conditioner is evacuated, if the vacuum pump is stopped, the oil in the vacuum pump flows back into the charging hose since the inside of the gauge manifold hose is a vacuum. If the refrigerating cycle is charged with the refrigerant under this condition, the vacuum pump oil left in the charging hose flows together with the refrigerant into the refrigerating cycle. The adapter equipped with a solenoid valve is used to prevent the backflow of the oil from the vacuum pump. If the solenoid valve is turned on, it closes to stop the inflow of the atmosphere and the refrigerating cycle can be evacuated. If it is turned off, it allows inflow of the atmosphere and the refrigerating cycle cannot be evacuated.

At this time, take care sufficiently not to damage the service can by tightening the disc too strongly. 3 Install the charging hose (green) of the gauge manifold to the valve. 4 Turn the handle of the service can valve to the right to lower the needle and make a hole in the service can. 5 Turn the handle to the left to raise the needle, and the refrigerant flows through the valve into the refrigerating cycle. 6 To stop supplying the refrigerant, turn the handle to the right end to lower the needle. Check that the packing is usable. If the packing is coated with compressor oil, it lasts long.

2.3 Check for refrigerant leakage


If refrigerant seems to be leaking as a result of the basic inspection, check for leakage with the gas leak tester according to the following procedure.

(1) Preliminary check


Connect the gauge manifold and check the condition of the refrigerant remaining in the refrigerating cycle. Then, add new refrigerant, if necessary, to heighten the pressure in the refrigerating cycle and increase the accuracy of the gas leak check. 1 Read the gauge pressure while the compressor is stopped. The ambient temperature must be 15C or higher at this time. 2 If the gauge pressure is 0.4 MPa {4 kg/cm2} or higher, start the inspection. 3 If the gauge pressure is below 0.4 MPa {4 kg/ cm2}, add new refrigerant to heighten the gauge pressure above 0.4 MPa {4 kg/cm2}, then start the inspection.
Gas leak tester Probe

Perform the gas leak test in a place ventilated well. An electric gas leak tester may react to gasoline, diesel fuel, exhaust gas of a car, etc. If it does so, it will misjudge. Gas leaking from a pipe joint, etc. is blown away by even a light wind. Accordingly, apply the probe tip all around the joint. Do not check for refrigerant leakage with a leak detector of halide torch type. Since this detector detects gas leakage by utilizing reaction to chlorine, it cannot detect refrigerant HFC-134a which does not contain chlorine. In addition, it decomposes HFC-134a into harmful matters. Accordingly, do not use it.

[Reference] Check for refrigerant leakage by applying air pressure) When it seems that little refrigerant is left in the refrigerating cycle, the leak check accuracy can be increased by heightening the internal pressure of the refrigerating cycle with compressed nitrogen gas or air. 1. Necessary tools 1 Air attachment: Special attachment to connect gauge manifold 2 Plug: Plug to connect to utility piping of factory (Select a proper plug on the market) 2. Check method (1) Read the gauge pressure while the compressor is stopped. (The ambient temperature must be 15C or above at this time.) 1 If the gauge pressure is about 0.2 0.4 MPa {2 4 kg/cm2}, apply air pressure and start the inspection. 2 If the gauge pressure is below 0.2 MPa {2 kg/cm2}, add new refrigerant until the gauge pressure rises above 0.4 MPa {4 kg/cm2}, then apply air pressure and start the inspection. (2) Check for refrigerant leakage with a gas leak tester. (3) After checking for refrigerant leakage, be sure to replace the mixture of the air and refrigerant with new refrigerant.

<Method of applying air pressure> 1 Using the gauge, air attachment, and plug, connect an air compressor to the air conditioner piping. 2 Start the air compressor to supply air. Air pressure: Approx. 1.0 MPa {10 kg/cm2} 3 After applying air pressure, close the valves of the gauge to keep the pressure in the air conditioner piping. Be sure to drain water from the air compressor used for applying air pressure. If it is drained, little water is supplied to the refrigerating cycle. The applied air pressure must be 1.0 MPa {10 kg/cm2} or less.

How to check the abnormal noise from the compressor with the stethoscope is explained below, as an example. If an abnormal noise is heard from around the compressor, you must see if it is produced by loosened bracket bolts, auxiliary parts used to secure the compressor and belt, or internal parts of the compressor. 1 Apply the stethoscope to the auxiliary parts to find out the noise source. 2 Apply the stethoscope to the compressor to see if a noise similar to the above is heard. If the similar noise is heard, the compressor may have a trouble. 3 Generally, if the compressor has a trouble, it produces an abnormal noise, regardless of the engine speed.

5. Replacement of parts
5.1 Interchangeability of air conditioner parts
The refrigerating cycle parts, functional parts closely related to them, and compressor oil for an air conditioner which uses HFC134a (R134a) are not interchangeable with those for an air conditioner which uses R12. Accordingly, different joints are used for each part of these air conditioners so that a wrong part will not be used. Since the compressor oil, O-ring, etc. cannot be distinguished at a glance, classify them into the HFC134a (R134a) group and the R12 group securely.

5.2 Connection of piping


(1) O-ring
If any piping or refrigerating cycle part is removed, be sure to use a new O-ring for HFC134a (R134a). When removing an O-ring, use a soft rod such as a toothpick so that the piping will not be damaged. When connecting the piping, apply compressor oil to the O-ring and tighten the adapter to the specified torque.

(2) When replacing compressor


A new compressor is filled with oil necessary for the refrigerating cycle. Accordingly, when replacing an existing compressor, drain the excessive oil from the new compressor. Since the compressor oil for HFC134a (R134a) absorbs moisture easily, seal the oil can immediately after supplying the oil.

(1) Only the appointed person must work.
Since high-pressure refrigerant is dangerous, only the appointed person must handle it.
Appointed person

(2) Put on protective goggles during work.


If refrigerant liquid enters your eyes, the water in the eyeballs is frozen and you may lose your eyesight. Accordingly, be sure to put on protective goggles for safety while you are charging the air conditioner with refrigerant. If the refrigerant liquid is splashed over your hands, you may be frostbitten. Take care extremely. When installing and removing the service can and connecting and disconnecting the charging hoses, take care particularly.
Put on protective goggles.

(3) Never work near your face.


Never install and remove the service can or connect and disconnect the gauge manifold and compressor charging hoses near your face. If the refrigerant liquid spouts out, you may be injured seriously.

Actions to take when refrigerant enters your


eyes
1) Do not rub your eyes with the hands or a handkerchief. 2) Immediately wash your eyes with clean water for more than 15 minutes, then see a eye doctor.

(4) Take care in handling the high-pressure valve.


When charging the air conditioner with the refrigerant while the engine is running, never open the high-pressure valve (HI) of the gauge manifold. If the high-pressure valve is opened by mistake, the high-pressure gas may flow back into the service can to burst.
Never open this valve.

(5) Never heat the service can.


If the service can is heated directly or put in a hot water, the pressure in it rises to burst the can, and that can injure you seriously. 1) If it is obliged to warm the service can in winter, be sure to use water under 40C. 2) Never put the service can in boiling water. 3) Do not put the service can on a hot engine, etc.
Hot water Below 40C

(6) Do not leak the refrigerant gas near a fire or a hot part of a stove, etc.
If the refrigerant gas comes in contact with the fire or hot part, it is decomposed into harmful matters.

(7) Charge the refrigerating cycle with the refrigerant in a place ventilated well. (8) Never return the refrigerant to the service can.
If the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle is returned to the service can, the can may burst, and that is very dangerous.

Do not leak!

(9) Do not apply pressure higher than 1 MPa {10 kg/cm2} to the service can. (10)Do not shake the service can strongly.
If the service can is not installed securely, it may come off.

(11)When storing and handling the service can, observe the following.
1) Store the service can away from children. 2) Do not put the service can in direct sunshine, near a fire, or hot place. 3) Do not store the service can in a place where it may be corroded. (Take care of humidity.) 4) Do not give a shock to the service can by dropping it, etc. Air conditioner

2. Evacuation
If a refrigerating cycle part is replaced, the refrigerating cycle is opened to the atmosphere. Since air always contains moisture, it must be dried. If there is any moisture in the refrigerating cycle, it may be frozen in the small of the expansion valve and may rust the compressor valves, and that can cause a trouble, even if it is little in quantity. Accordingly, the moisture in the refrigerating cycle must be removed before the refrigerant is supplied. To remove the moisture, the refrigerating cycle is evacuated with a vacuum pump to vaporize the moisture. This work is called evacuation.

4.1 Check with gauge manifold


(1) Set the machine under the following condition. Door ................................. Full open Temperature control ...... Lowest temperature Blower speed .................. HI Circulated air/Fresh air selector switch ................ Circulated air Engine speed .................. 1,500 rpm Measure the quantity of the refrigerant while the pressure on the high-pressure side is below 1.86 MPa {19 kg/cm2}. If the ambient temperature is high (above 40C) and the pressure on the high-pressure side is higher than 1.86 MPa {19 kg/cm2} under the specified judgment condition, perform the following to lower the pressure below 1.86 MPa {19 kg/ cm2}. 1 Close the door fully and set the blower speed to LO. 2 Move the machine indoors or into the shade. (2) Read the gauge manifold. When normal Pressure on low-pressure side: 0.15 0.25 MPa {1.5 2.0 kg/cm2} Pressure on high-pressure side: 1.37 1.57 MPa {14 16 kg/cm2} The values indicated by the gauge manifold may vary more or less with the condition.

PC100-6 is equipped with an air conditioner of full heat type, in which the cooler and heater are arranged in series against air flow and made in 1 unit. The compressor is of vane rotary type. It is driven by the engine through V-belt to compress refrigerant gas of low pressure and lower temperature. As a result, the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant gas are heightened, and then the refrigerant gas is sent to the condenser.

The air conditioner unit is installed to the rear of the operator's seat in the cabin. The air cooled or heated in this unit is sent through the ducts to the air blow grilles at the rear and right of the operator's seat. The air temperature, air outlet, selection of external or internal air, and strength of air flow are selected with the air conditioner switches on the control panel.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

COMPRESSOR

COMPRESSOR
The rotation of the engine is transmitted through the belt to the clutch, which is turned ON and OFF by the temperature regulator thermostat. Then, the rotor of the compressor coupled directly with the clutch is rotated. The rotor has 5 vanes. As the rotor rotates, the vanes slide on the inside wall of the cylinder to compress and suck the refrigerant gas repeatedly.

Function The compressor sucks the refrigerant gas of low pressure and low temperature evaporated in the evaporator and compresses it. The pressure and temperature of the compressed refrigerant gas become high, and then the refrigerant gas is discharged into the condenser. The refrigerant gas is circulated in the refrigerating cycle. The temperature and pressure of the refrigerant gas are heightened by the compressor, and then the refrigerant gas is cooled and liquefied in the condenser 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. a. b.

COMPRESSOR

Operation processes of compressor (1) Starting suction Suction of the refrigerant gas starts when vane A passes by suction opening (1) (White arrow). As the rotor rotates, the space (hatched part) formed by vanes A and E, rotor, and cylinder is increased to continue sucking the refrigerant gas.

(2) Finishing suction (Closing) - Starting compression Suction finishes when vane E passes by suction opening (1). The hatched part in the figure at this time is the maximum space and compression starts at this point.

(3) Compression - Discharge The compressed refrigerant gas pushes up the lead valve installed at discharge opening (2) and goes out (Black arrows). Just after this time, vane A starts suction through suction opening (1) on the opposite side.
s As explained above, each compression space

performs the cycle of suction, compression, and discharge 2 times in 1 turn. Accordingly, the compressor performs 10 cycles in 1 turn.

COMPRESSOR

Relief valve (Installed to compressor) When the high pressure in a car air conditioner for R12 becomes abnormally, a melt bolt is melted to discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere to protect the air conditioner cycle. In this case, all the refrigerant in the cycle is discharged. On the other hand, a car air conditioner for R134a employs a pressure relief valve instead of the melt bolt to minimize discharge of the refrigerant when abnormally high pressure is generated. The refrigerant discharge route made when the relief valve operates is shown in the figure.

Start of blowing: 3.4 MPa {35 kg/cm2} Stop of blowing: 2.9 MPa {30 kg/cm2}

Thermal switch (Installed to compressor) This switch is installed near the discharge port of the compressor. It turns the power for the clutch OFF when the temperature of the compressor becomes abnormally high. When the temperature of the compressor lowers to the normal level, the thermal switch turns the power for the clutch ON again.

Air conditioner unit Control panel Condenser Air conditioner piping Compressor Receiver drier Engine coolant piping

Outline This system is an air conditioner unit which consists of a evaporator, heater core, blower, etc. and blows out cold air and hot air. In heating mode Air in the cab is sucked in through the suction opening and heat-exchanged (heated) in the heater core of the air conditioner unit, and then blown out through the duct and grille. The heat source of the heater core is the engine coolant. The blow temperature is adjusted with the temperature adjustment switch on the control panel. If the temperature adjustment switch is operated, the water valve of the air conditioner unit opens or closes to adjust the engine coolant flow rate, or adjust the temperature. In cooling mode Air in the cab is sucked in through the suction opening and heat-exchanged (dehumidified and cooled) in the evaporator of the air conditioner unit, and then blown out through the duct and grille.

1-2. Component parts in air conditioner unit (Parts related to control) Resistor The resistor outputs signals according to the position of the blower switch to change the fan motor speed of the blower.

Thermistor The thermistor senses the blow-out temperature of the evaporator, outputs signals, and turns the compressor ON and OFF to prevent the evaporator from freezing. It is installed to the outlet side of the evaporator.

Dual pressure switch When the refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side becomes abnormal, the dual pressure switch outputs a signal to turn the compressor OFF to protect the refrigerating cycle. This switch is installed to the high-pressure piping side of the outlet and inlet pipe assembly. This switch is turned OFF when the refrigerant pressure is below 0.1MPa {2.0 kg/cm2} or above 3.1MPa {32 kg/cm2}.

2-2. Component parts in control box Temperature adjustment switch (Thermal control knob) If the knob of the temperature adjustment switch is turned, the ON-OFF operation point of the air conditioner compressor and the opening ratio of the water valve change. As a result, the temperature of the air from the evaporator and heater core changes. Consequently, the temperature of the air blown out from the air conditioner unit changes.

Air conditioner switch If this switch is pressed while the air flow selector switch is turned ON, the compressor operates according to the position of the temperature adjustment switch and blow-out temperature of the evaporator.

Air flow selector switch (Blower switch) If the knob of the air flow selector switch is turned, the air flow from the air conditioner unit is stopped or set to 3 levels.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

OUTLINE OF REFRIGERATING CYCLE

OUTLINE OF REFRIGERATING CYCLE


The refrigerating cycle performs the following 4 actions and the refrigerant is liquefied and gasified repeatedly while it is circuited in the cycle.

3. Expansion (Expansion valve)


The pressure of the refrigerant liquid is lowered by the restricting action of the expansion valve to a level at which the refrigerant is evaporated easily. The action to lower the pressure of the refrigerant to a level at which the refrigerant is evaporated easily before the refrigerant is sent to the evaporator is called expansion. The expansion valve which performs this action also controls the flow rate of the refrigerant. In other words, the quantity of the refrigerant liquid evaporated in the evaporator is decided by the quantity of heat to be removed (refrigeration load) at the specified evaporation temperature (evaporation pressure), and the expansion valve senses it and controls the refrigerant flow rate properly. [* 1] Restriction If there is a sharply narrowed part in a pipe in which a liquid is flowing, it is resistance to the flow. Since the sectional area is increased sharply after this part, the liquid expands quickly and its pressure and temperature lower. No heat is exchanged between the inside and outside of the pipe during this action.

1. Compression (Compressor)
The refrigerant gas is compressed by the compressor to the state where it can be liquefied easily at the normal temperature (ambient temperature). The refrigerant evaporated in the evaporator is sucked in the compressor. This action is performed to keep the refrigerant pressure in the evaporator low so that the refrigerant liquid can continue evaporation actively even if the ambient temperature is close to 0C. The refrigerant gas sucked in the compressor is compressed in the cylinder and its pressure and temperature are so changed that it can be liquefied easily when it is cooled with the external air at the normal temperature.

2. Condensation (Condenser)
The refrigerant gas in the condenser is cooled to be liquefied with the external air. The refrigerant gas of high temperature and high pressure discharged from the compressor is cooled to be liquefied with the external air and then stored in the receiver drier. The heat discharged from the refrigerant of high temperature and high pressure discharged from the compressor is called the condensation heat, which is the total of the heat that the refrigerant absorbed from the operator's cab through the evaporator (vaporization heat) and the work performed to compress the refrigerant (the value converted into heat). During condensation, the refrigerant gas and refrigerant liquid are mixed together in the condenser. While the refrigerant gas changes to the refrigerant liquid, the relationship between the pressure (condensation pressure) and temperature (condensation temperature) is kept constant. Reference: The pressure varies with the type of the refrigerant and condensation temperature.

4. Evaporation (Evaporator)
The refrigerant changes from liquid to gas (superheated vapor) in the evaporator. The refrigerant mist in the evaporator evaporates actively. At this time, the refrigerant evaporates quickly, absorbing heat necessary for evaporation (latent heat of vaporization) from the air around the cooling fins (air in the operator's cab). The cooled air is spread in the operator's cab by the fan to lower the temperature in the operator's cab.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

The refrigerating cycle performs the following 4 actions and the OUTLINE OF REFRIGERATING CYCLE

The refrigerant mist sent through the expansion valve and the evaporated refrigerant are mixed together in the evaporator. While the refrigerant liquid changes to the refrigerant gas, the relationship between the pressure (evaporation pressure) and temperature (evaporation temperature) is kept constant. If the pressure is set, the temperature is decided automatically. That is, the relationship between the above pressure and temperature is equal to the relationship between saturation pressure and saturation temperature. To evaporate the refrigerant at lower temperature, the pressure in the evaporator must be kept lower. Accordingly, the evaporated refrigerant is sucked in the compressor. The refrigerant circulates in the refrigerating cycle, repeating the above 4 actions, to move the heat from the operator's cab where the temperature is low to the outside where the temperature is high.

OUTLINE OF MAIN PARTS

OUTLINE OF MAIN PARTS


1. Compressor assembly
1) Compressor The compressor is of swash plate type. The swash plate is installed to the shaft. The rotary motion of the shaft is converted into the reciprocating motion to suck, compress, and discharge the refrigerant. 2) Magnet clutch The magnet clutch is used to drive or stop the compressor while the engine is running. While the compressor is not driven, only the pulley is revolving. When the compressor is driven, a current flows in the field coil to make a strong electromagnet, which attracts the drive plate to rotate the compressor shaft and the pulley together. 3) Relief valve (Installed to only PC1238US-2) When the pressure in the compressor exceeds the set pressure of the relief pressure, the relief valve opens to discharge the refrigerant. If the pressure lowers, the relief valve closes.

9JS01940

2. Condenser
The condenser is of parallel flow type. The refrigerant gas of high temperature and high pressure sent from the compressor is cooled to be liquefied with the cooling fan of the engine. a PC128US-2 has a sub-cool condenser made one with the receiver drier.

9JS01941

3. Receiver drier
The receiver drier is of aluminum flat head type. The receiver drier has the following functions. q The receiver drier stores the refrigerant to operate the cooling cycle smoothly. q The receiver drier removes dirt and water from the refrigerant. q Flowing condition of the refrigerant is seen through the sight glass. q If the temperature of the cycle rises for some reason, the lead at the center of the fusible plug melts and the refrigerant is discharged out to secure the safety.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

OUTLINE OF MAIN PARTS

The main parts under the operator's seat are roughly classified into air conditioner unit (1), intake duct (2), and mode duct (3).

9JS01943

4. Intake duct (2)


The intake duct selects the external air or internal air to be sucked in the fan motor of the air conditioner unit. Filter (4) is installed to the air outlet side of the intake box to remove dust from the external air and internal air and supply clean air to the air conditioner unit. The intake duct includes the intake actuator and intake door.

5. Mode duct (3)


The mode duct changes the flow of the air cooled with the evaporator of the air conditioner unit, air heated with the heater core, or mixture of the cooled air and heated air to each air outlet. There are 3 selectable positions and the operator can select a favorite flow with the control panel. The mode duct includes the mode actuator and mode door.

6. Air conditioner unit (1)


The air conditioner unit includes the blower motor, evaporator, heater core, mix door, and internal air filter (5). Its piping has the pressure switch for protection and the sight glass to check the refrigerant. It is thin and compact and has a connecting hole to take in external air. Air conditioner

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

OUTLINE OF MAIN PARTS

1) Expansion valve The expansion valve is of internal equal pressure type. The expansion valve converts the high pressure refrigerant liquid sent from the receiver drier into low pressure refrigerant mist by restricting action and sends it to the evaporator. The expansion valve also adjusts the refrigerant flow rate automatically according to the variable thermal load. 2) Evaporator The evaporator is of serpentine type. The refrigerant mist made by the expansion valve evaporates actively in the evaporator and its temperature lowers. The air in the operator's cab is sucked in the fan and passed and cooled through the evaporator. 3) Thermostat The thermostat senses the temperature of the cooled air just after it is blown out of the evaporator and turns the compressor OFF before the evaporator is frozen. a If the thermostat does not touch the evaporator, it cannot sense the temperature and cooling does not stop. As a result, evaporator is frosted and air flow rate is lowered.

4) Pressure switch The pressure switch senses abnormally low or high pressure and turns the compressor OFF. k When replacing the pressure switch, collect the refrigerant in advance.

CHECKING FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE

CHECKING FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE


Since refrigerant leakage has bad effects on the performance and durability of the air conditioner and global environment, it must be stopped immediately, if detected. Flow of checking for refrigerant leakage

6259(26)

1. Checking for refrigerant leakage Using a special gas leak detector for HFC-134a, check for refrigerant leakage. If any troubled part is found, repair it. In this case, repeat the procedure from the first step. k Caution Never use a CFC-12R (R-12) leak detector of halide torch type to check for refrigerant leakage. The leak detector of halide torch type detects CFC-12 leakage by reacting on chlorine contained in CFC-12. Since HFC-134a does not contain chlorine, the leak detector of halide type cannot detect it. In addition, if HFC-134a come in contact with flame, it is decomposed and poisonous gas is produced.

TESTING AND ADJUSTING

CHECKING FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE

Check for refrigerant leakage according to the following procedure. a Before starting the check, confirm that there is no refrigerant or smoke around the machine to prevent misjudgment of refrigerant leakage. Perform the check in a place where leaking refrigerant will not be blown off by wind. a Perform the check mainly on pipe joints and parts which are stained oil remarkably. If refrigerant leaks, internal oil always leaks, too.

6261(2)

When leakage is not detected by the ordinary check, operate the compressor for at least 5 minutes and then check the high pressure side similarly. a After the compressor is stopped, the high pressure lowers gradually. Refrigerant leakage from the high pressure side can be detected easily while the pressure is higher. Accordingly, operate the compressor. Immediately after stopping the engine, check the highpressure parts immediately for refrigerant leakage with the gas leak detector.

HANDLING REFRIGERANT CAN AND COMPRESSOR OIL


1. Refrigerant can (HFC-134a) (For repair) a HFC-134a and R134a are the same material. Quantity of refrigerant 200g Part No. 583200-0600

a The label and the adapter thread size of the refrigerant can valve are different from those of the CFC-12 can for distinction. 2. Precautions for storing and handling refrigerant can When handling the refrigerant can, observe the precautions printed on it. q Do not store the refrigerant can in place where the temperature is heightened above 40C by the direct sunlight, fire, etc. q Be sure to store the refrigerant can in a dark and cool place. Do not corrode it. q Carry the minimum necessary quantity of refrigerant cans and keep them in a place where the temperature does not rise above 40C. kThe high-pressure gas is in the refrigerant can. If the can is stored in a hot place, its inside pressure rises and it may burst and can cause injury, frostbite, loss of sight, etc. q Never throw or hit the refrigerant can. (Do not roughly handle the package of the refrigerant can, either.) q If the refrigerant can has a flow, bruise, etc., do not use it.

9JS02187

kThe high-pressure gas is in the refrigerant can. If the can is handled wrongly, it may burst or the refrigerant may leak, and that can cause injury, frostbite, loss of sight, etc. kDo not bring refrigerant in contact with flame.

3. Control of compressor oil (ZXL-100PG: For HFC134a) Compressor oil does not need to be checked or added so frequently as engine oil. Insufficiency or excess of compressor oil can cause the following troubles, however. Accordingly, compressor oil must be supplied to the specified level, similarly to refrigerant. Check compressor oil in the following cases, and then add new oil if necessary. q At the beginning of the 2nd season. q When much refrigerant is discharged because of leakage. q When the compressor is troubled and replaced. q When a cycle parts such as the condenser, receiver drier, evaporator unit, etc. is replaced. 4. Procedure for checking (adding, replacing) oil level 1) Perform the oil return operation. 2) Collect refrigerant in the air conditioner cycle. [* 1] 3) Remove the compressor. 4) Check the oil level. 5) Add or replace oil. 6) Install the compressor. 7) Charge the air conditioner cycle with refrigerant. [* 2] [* 1] [* 2] TAKAHASHI WORKS CO., LTD., see page 52 - 3 to 15. kSince refrigerant is high-pressure gas, it must be handled by only designated persons. kIf refrigerant gets in your eyes, you may lose your sight.

5. Oil return operation Compressor oil is circulated in the air conditioner cycle together with refrigerant while the air conditioner is in operation. When checking the oil level or replacing a cycle part, you are required to return compressor oil in the piping and each component part to the compressor to minimize the quantity of oil lost during the replacement work. For this purpose, perform the "oil return operation" shown at right. a If it is impossible to perform the oil return operation (because of seizure, breakage, etc.), install a new compressor (link part, etc.) and perform the oil return operation. Then, remove the compressor again and drain the excessive oil.

6. Draining and adding compressor oil 1) Draining oil. Prepare an oil pan and drain oil. Measure the quantity of the drained oil with a measuring cylinder and set it as the 16quantity to be added. a The type (ZXL-100PG) and additional quantity of compressor oil are printed on the label stuck to the compressor. 2) Adding oil Add oil of the specified quantity (quantity measured with the measuring cylinder) through the port in the reverse order to draining. a If oil for CFC-12 (R-12) is used, lubrication trouble will occur and the compressor may be broken or seized. Be sure to use the specified oil (ZXL-100PG). a Oil for HFC-134a absorbs moisture very easily. Accordingly, fit the cap immediately after using oil to stop the atmosphere. Store the oil can in a dry and ventilated place. a Precautions for using oil Oil for HFC-134a (ZXL-100PG in particular) may dissolve acrylic resin and polystyrene (excluding baked polystyrene paint film). Accordingly, do not stick oil to those plastics.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

The air conditioner has a self-diagnosis function for inspecting the main component parts. With this function, you can inspect the operations of each sensor (which is not installed to the air conditioner having only the manual mode), each actuator, and fan motor system. If a troubled section is detected, every part of that section must be inspected.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
1. Find out the troubled section according to the detected trouble of the air conditioner. 2. Find out the troubled section with the self-diagnosis function (See TESTING AND ADJUSTING, Inspection with self-diagnosis). If the air conditioner unit or control unit does not operate at all, however, check that the power supply up to the control unit is normal. If any part of the air conditioner unit or control unit operates, the power supply does not need to be checked. 3. After finding out the troubled section, inspect the component parts in that section and repair the troubled part. Basic flow of troubleshooting Occurrence of trouble
