EVACUATION PROCEDURES(AIR PURGE)

Connect the refrigerant pipes (both the liquid and gas pipes)
between the indoor and the outdoor units.

Remove the service port cap of the stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas pipe.(The stop valve will not
work in its initial state fresh out of the factory (totally closed with cap on))

When vacuuming
Connect the gage manifold valve and the vacuum pump to
the service port of the stop valve on the liquid pipe side of the
outdoor unit.

Run the vacuum pump for more than 15 minutes and at this
time confirm that the pressure gage indicates – 0.1 Mpa.

Check the vacuum with the gage manifold valve, then close
the gage manifold valve, and stop the vacuum pump.

Leave it as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure the pointer


of the gage manifold valve remains in the same position.

,
Remove the gage manifold valve quickly from the service port of the stop valve.

After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on gas and liquid pipe sides.
Operating without fully opening lowers the performance and causes trouble.

2. Four elements of air conditioning

1) Temperature : The dry-bulb temperature by cooling or heating room air.


2) Humidity : A comfortable humidity condition of room air is generally kept by the relative humidity of
air, and the room air is controlled into a given relative humidity condition.
3) The degree of purity : Remove dusts in the air, and keep smoke from exceeding the allowable degree of
concentration.
4) Air flow : To disperse properly the air regulated in temperature, humidity and the degree of purity
into indoor, make an appropriate air flow and keep uniformly the temperature/humidity
condition of room unit.

• Standard for feeling comfortable

Temperature 21 ~ 28°C 20 ~24°C

Relative humidity 30 ~ 60% 30 ~ 60%

Air flow 0.2m/s or less 0.2m/s or less

3. Principle of refrigerating cycle


3.1 Principle of refrigerating : It is as follows.

1) Sprinkling with water in summer causes to cool surroundings.


• Because water absorbs the heat of surroundings with evaporating.

2) Gasifying a liquid (R-22) which is easier to evaporate than water makes cooler.
• Because water evaporates at 100°C under 1 atmosphere but freon gas (R-22) does a very low temperature of
-40°C
3) It is an Airconditioner that the principle is used for.

3) The role of each cycle
(1) Compression : The gasified refrigerant evaporated is absorbed into compressor through the suction pipe,
and then compressed by a piston in cylinder and turned into a gas of high temperature and
high pressure which is able to be liquified in a room temperature.
(2) Liquification : The gas of high temperature and high pressure in compressor is cooled by air in condenser
and liquified by a condensing heat.
(3) Expansion : With passing through the capillary tube, the high pressure refrigerant liquified in condenser
turns into a low pressure condition, which is easy to evaporate.
(4) Evaporation : The liquid refrigerant of low temperature and low pressure passed though the capillary tube
absorbs the room air heat in evaporator and evaporates into a gas.

4. Definition of terms
1) Air conditioning : Keeping room air in an optimum condition, depending on the use or purpose. (Cooling, heat-
ing, humidity regulating, air cleaning, etc.)
2) Cooling (Heating) capacity : Calorie which is able to be released (or added) per a unit time in room.
It is expressed in Kcal/h, BTU/h or W.
3) Absolute humidity : The amount of vapor contained in the air. Generally it is equal to the amount of vapor by g
unit contained in 1m3 air, and is expressed in g/m3.
4) Relative humidity : The ratio between the amount of vapor contained in the air and the maximum amount (the
amount of saturated vapor) of vapor capable of containing at that temperature in %.
* Relative humidity = Actual vapor pressure/Saturated vapor pressure x 100
or
= Actual vapor pressure of dew point temperature /saturated vapor pressure of dry-bulb
temp. x 100
5) Dew point temperature : The surface temperature which starts dewing on the surface when cooling a sub-
stance in the air.
6) Latent heat and sensible heat : Heat which causes a change in the state of a substance, with its temperature
constant, is called latent heat whereas heat which changes the temperature of
a substance is called sensible heat. Latent heat is expressed in terms of calo-
ries needed to cause a change of state of a substance per 1 kg. The following
equation shows that Q Kcal is needed to change state of a substance weight
G Kg when the latent heat is L Kcal/kg.

7) Thermal flow
(1) Radiation : A phenomenon which thermal energy as an electro-magnetic wave is transmitted
directly from a thermal source.
(2) Conductive emission : A phenomenon which transmits from high to low temperature when there is a
temperature difference partially in a substance.
(Example : When one tip of iron rod becomes hot.)
(3) Convection : When the temperature of a fluid like gas or liquid changes by heat, the high tem-
perature part expands and thus the density drops to cause to be light whereas
the low temperature part is to be heavy. It means a phenomenon that heat is
transmitted together when floating happens by the weight difference of air.

5. The term of unit


1) Kcal : Adding or releasing heat to or from a substance changes its temperature. This change of temperature is
in proportion the heat added or released. This heat is called calorie which is expressed in Kcal or cal.
1 Kcal is equal to the amount of heat required to raise the 1°C temperature of 1kg water 4°C.

2) BTU : 1 BTU is equal to the amount of heat required to raise the 1°F temperature of 1 lb water.
• 1 Kcal = 3.968 BTU, 1 BTU = 0.252 Kcal

3) RT : 1 RT (Refrigerating Ton) is equal to the capacity which makes 1 Ton water 0°C into ice 0°C in 24 hours. It
is expressed in calorie required to freeze water 1 Ton water 32°F(2000 lb) into ice 32°F, and when using
the solidification latent heat of water, 1RT is as follows
• 1 RT = 144BTU/lb x 2000 lb/24hr = 12,000 BTU/hr = 3,024 Kcal/hr = 3.517 KW

4) Hp : Horse Power
• 1 Hp = 0.75 KW = 645 Kcal/h, 1W = 0.86 Kcal/h

5) Temperature conversion (°C ↔ °F)


• °F = 9/5°C + 32, °C = 5/9 (°F-32)

6) Area or volume conversion


• 1m2 = 10.764 ft2, 1m3 = 35.3165 ft3

6. The term of function


1) Compressor : Absorb and compress the low pressure refrigerant gasified in evaporator and flow into con-
denser. At this time, the low pressure needed is kept in evaporator and the refrigerant gas flows into con-
denser as high pressure condition. The most economical condition of compressor for an operating reason
is when the refrigerant gas absorbed into compressor is in dry-saturated condition. The overly-heated suc-
tion gas may cause the mechanical ability of compressor to be reduced and the cylinder clearance of com-
pressor to be re-expanded, and as a result, the refrigerant may be used without its refrigerating effect.
The types of compressor is Recipro. type, Rotary type, Scroll type, Screw type, etc. and consists of cylin-
der, piston, vane, shaft, bearing, case and accumulator for structure reason.
2) Condenser : The high temperature/high pressure refrigerant gas compressed by compressor is sucked into
condenser and liquified by cooling. The condenser is cooled by the forced-convection of fan.
The calorie emitted from condenser is equal to the sum of the heat absorbed in evaporator and the calorie
used for compressor operating.
3) Evaporator : Absorb the heat from room air by forced-convection.
The liquid refrigerant in evaporator is evaporated by absorbing heat from room air and flowed into compres-
sor as a gasified state. The evaporating temperature of refrigerant is decided by pressure, which is decided
by the wet-bulb temperature of suction air and the wind flow, and the pressure in evaporator is normally
5Kg/cm2G and the evaporating temperature is 5~8°C.
4) Capillary : Regulate the refrigerant flow into evaporator, lower the pressure of refrigerant, and expand into a liq-
uid of low temperature and low pressure. The type of capillary is generally a thin and long copper tube of
0.6~2.0mm2 inner diameter and 1~2m long. The resistance of tube causes to turn into a liquid of low pres-
sure and low temperature.
5) Dryer : Any moisture in refrigerating cycle may cause the compressor motor to be damaged or the refrigerant to
be an ice state in the middle of cycle, which blocks the flow of refrigerant. Dryer is installed in a cycle for the
purpose of removing such moisture.
There are two types of dryer ; a liquid line dryer which is connected serially to the condenser outlet and a
suction line dryer which is connected serially to the suction line, with a desiccative in dryer.
The dryer is designed for uni-directional flowing of the refrigerant.
6) Muffler : Since Recipro. type compressor discharges the compressed gas discontinuously, a pulsating sound or
vibration occurs through pipe. Muffler is installed in the discharged part of compressor for the purpose of
absorbing the vibration of the discontinuously-discharged gas.
7) Strainer : Strainer serves to remove foreign substances from refrigerant by a metal net pelt of fine grid or a
glass wool being inserted into metal vessel and refrigerant being passed through between the interval.
The mounted position is between condenser and temperature auto expansion valve.
8) Service valve : SVC valve is used for vacuum working and refrigerant filling. Front seat is called a state which
cap is opened and valve is completely rotated clockwise and refrigerant stops flowing in that condition,
whereas back seat is called a state which valve is rotated completely counter-clockwise and refrigerant
flows. In case of pressure measurements or vacuum work from service valve, the back seat condition is
changed into some front seat condition. Product is released in front seat condition, so the back seat by
brake-in is not needed.

9) Motor : Drive a rotating force by electric power and supply the driving force to fan and blower in both indoor and
outdoor of air conditioner.

10) Fan : Serve to blow air through condenser and blow out the heat generated with refrigerant liquified in con-
denser. Its structure is similar with a motor fan.

11) Blower (Cross Flow Fan: C.F.F) : Suck room air, blow into evaporator, make evaporator absorb the heat, and
disperse the cooled air into room. Blower is placed indoor unit, so a small size, high wind flow and low
noise type is used.

12) Thermostat (Thermistor) : Sense the suction air into room and regulate automatically room temperature by
compressor on/off depending on temperature. Thermostat is used for a mechanical type model and ther-
mistor for a micom type control method.

13) Capacitor : Supply a driving torque to the compressor motor or fan motor for aircon and make the operating
efficiency better during operation.

14) Over load protector (O.L.P) : A protective device of automatic return type which is placed in the wire of com-
pressor and shuts off the power of compressor motor against the overheat and overcurrent of compressor.
At this time, compressor is stopped operating by power off and fan only is at work. Generally the working
temperature is 115±5°C and the return temperature is 93±5°C.

15) High pressure switch (H.P.S/W) : A protective device of automatic return type which protects compressor
from overload by sensing the discharge pressure of compressor, working at an abnormal high temperature,
and shutting off the electric circuit. Generally the working pressure is 28kg/cm2G and the return pressure is
23 kg/cm2G.

16) Sump heater : A cord heater which is wound around the compressor bottom, and its type is decided depend-
ing on the capacity of compressor. If compressor is not at work at power on, sump heater is at work
whereas if compressor works, sump heater does not work, so be sure to always keep the compressor
temperature higher than any other unit.

17) Accumulator : A kind of liquid refrigerant separator which prevents the liquid refrigerant from sucking into
compressor and is installed in the suction inlet of compressor.

18) Reversing valve (4 way valve) : Convert the flow of refrigerant upon cooling/heating switch-over, electrically
power on when heating and off when cooling, be installed in outdoor, and have four connecting valves as
shown in the name. The refrigerant passing through compressor always flows to a constant direction and
is able to reverse-operate completely the refrigerating cycle of both cooling and heating by a reversing
valve. Consist of reversing valve and solenoid valve. The main valve in reversing valve uses a nylon resin
which is deformed by heat 120°C or over and thus causes valve not to work, so be cautious while
operating or when welding.

19) Solenoid valve : Regulate the refrigerant flow by refrigerant on/off in cycle which refrigerant flows according
as the valve operates through a coil unit being powered on. Mainly it is used when reversing the 4 way
valve of a cooling/heating model or constructing each unit cycle of multi model.

20) Check valve : Prevent refrigerant from reverse flow in refrigerating cycle. It is installed in a place where it is
necessary to prevent the reverse flow of refrigerant in a copper pipe. It has a mechanical structure and
attached to the opposite of a heating capillary to expand the heating/cooling model by two speeds, and is
constructed so as to flow through capillary in heating and through the check valve in cooling only.

7. Mollier diagram
7.1 Refrigerant state transition on Mollier diagram
1) Refrigerant changes iso-barically and iso-thermally in evaporator, so enthalpy (the heat absorbed from evapora-
tor) increases as shown in Figure 7.1 below.
2) In compressor, as the running speed of compressor is fast, it is thought there is no thermal input/output from or
to the outside within a short time, which is regarded as an adiabatic change. Accordingly the compression
process rises upto the discharge pressure along the iso-entropic line and the amount of energy of the
compressor is the same as the enthalpy change of refrigerant between compressor cylinder inlet and outlet.
3) In condenser, the overheated vapor is cooled as much as the
degree of overheat, saturated, and then condensed and
somewhat over-cooled. The process is established by an isobar Condensation
process, so an enthalpy down (the calorie emitted from

Compression
condenser) happens horizontally on diagram. P Expansion

4) Expansion process is a throttle expansion which there is no


enthalpy change before and after the expansion valve and the Evaporation
pressure and temperature drop, so the process changes
vertically downward. i

7.2 How to draw a refrigerating cycle
For example, draw a refrigerating cycle under the following operating condition.
1) Evaporation & condensation temperature :
Find an evaporation temperature 8°C on the saturated Refrigerant R-22
liquid line or saturated vapor line in Mollier diagram
and draw a horizontal line, isobar line (pressure 6.54 Evaporation temp. 8°C
kg/cm2 abs) from that point. In the same manner, draw Condensation temp. 46°C
a isobar line at condensation temperature 46°C, and
the evaporation and condensation process changes Overheat temp. of suction gas. 8°C

2) Suction gas state of compressor : The state of compressor suction gas is the same as that of refrigerant at
evaporator outlet, and the evaporation temperature and is 8°C and the degree of superheat is 8°C, so the
temperature of suction gas is to be 16°C Accordingly the state point of compressor suction gas is the
intersection between pressure 6.54 kg/cm2 abs at wet vapor 8°C and superheat vapor 16°C, and is a point of
pressure 6.54 kg/cm2 abs, temperature 16°C, enthalpy 152.0 Kcal/kg, non-volume 0.0024m3 /kg, entropy 1.182

3) Discharged gas state (the state at compressor outlet or condenser inlet) : An adiabatic change is almost
seen in compressor, so the state of discharged gas follows the isentropic line at point B of Figure 7.4.
Accordingly the state point of discharge gas is the intersection with wet-vapor pressure 18.1 kg/cm2 abs entro-
phy 1.138kcal/kg °K at condensation temperature 46°C, and is a point of pressure 18.1kg/cm2 abs, temperature
75°C, enthalpy 158.0 Kcal/kg, specific volume 0.00152m3 /kg, entropy 1.182 Kcal/kg °K, and superheat 30°C.

TCL Air Conditioner Service Manual

For the refrigerating cycle a➔b➔e➔f as shown in Figure 7.7, if the cooling capacity of condenser increases by the
temperature down of saturated liquid, cooling water or air and then the temperature of condenser outlet
refrigerant liquid decreases, the refrigerating cycle will be a➔b➔e➔f. Likewisely, the temperature difference when
the temperature of condenser outlet refrigerant liquid is below the temperature of saturated liquid at that pressure
is called the degree of supercooling, which enhances the refrigerating effect. The effect of supercooling is as
follows.

7.3 Calculation of refrigerating cycle


1) Refrigerating effect : Calories which evaporator absorbes, and the refrigerant flowing through evaporator is a
wet vapor and at outlet a superheat vapor. In D➔A process in Figure 7.8, refrigerant absorbs Calorie qe from
surroundings with evaporating.
qe = iA - iD .......................................................................................................................................... (7.1)
The refrigerating effect is one which is calculated by equation (7.1), and is expressed in calories which
refrigerant 1kg absorbs from evaporator during A➔B➔C➔D cycle.

Example) By using the Mollier diagram of R-22, find the compression ratio, refrigeratiny effect, work of compres-
sion, calorie of condensation, circulation amount of refrigerant, coefficient of performance, and refriger-
ating effect per 1KW.
Condensation pressure : Pd = 18.1kg/cm2abs

iC' = iD'= 112kcal/kg
iE = 148kcal/kg

Accordingly, Refrigerating effect : q1 = iA - iD = 148.5 - 110 = 38.5 [kcal/kg]


Work of compression : A1 = iB - iA = 158.5 - 148.5 = 10 [kcal/kg]
Calorie of condensation : q2 = iB - iC = 158.5 - 110 = 48.5 [kcal/kg]
Circulation amount of refrigerant : G=Q/q1 = 3320/38.5 = 86.2 [kg/h.RT] (per 1 Refrigerating Ton)
COP : q1/A1 = 38.5/10 = 3.85
Refrigerating effect per 1KW : k = 860 x 3.85 = 3311 [kcal/h. KW]

8.2 Discomfort index (DI)


In summer, Discomfort Index is frequently used in the weather forecast on TV or newspapers. Man feels hot
or dry according as the relative humidity is high or low, but not the absolute humidity. Generally, now that we
feel discomfortable at high relative humidity, the state which is felt uncomfortable at both dry-bulb and wet-
bulb temperature may be expressed empirically as an equation, Discomfort Index (DI), which is used as an
emotional index for summer temperature and humidity condition.
* DI = (Wet-bulb temperature + Dry-bulb temperature) x 0.72 + 40.6
* Degree of DI

DI Degree of DI

80 Everybody feels uncomfortable. (Sweat at hot weather.)
75 Half or more people feel uncomfortable. (Feel the heat a little.)
70 Start to feel uncomfortable.

8.3 Dewing
The most damp condition of air is at the saturated air condition of relative humidity 100% which is unable to
contain moisture any longer. As a result, the water vapor (moisture) in the air is condensed and turned into
liquid as waterdrop which can be seen. Such phenomenon is called dewing or condensation, commonly
“sweating”.
Dew point temperature means the temperature of air when starting to form dew. For example, when taking
out a bottle of beer from refrigerator in summer, you have probably seen several times the surface of beer
bottle sweats, that is, waterdrop form. The phenomenon is because the moist air around the bottle of beer is
changed rapidly into a state beyond relative humidity 100% with rapid cooling below the dew point tempera-
ture, and the vapor in the air not contained forms dew. Maybe you have ever experienced damages that sum-
mer cooling in your house caused the bedclothes in wardrobe to be damp by de wing or the winter heating
caused to form dew on window and waterdrop to flow into wall or floor carpet.

❒ Dewing prevention
Such a fine particle (vapor in air) that its shadow or shape has never appeared is rapidly cooled when it
touches a cold substance below dew point temperature. That is, shocking or starting by rapid cooling
causes waterdrops to be emerged out; dewing.
It is necessary to prevent from dewing in room because it gives trouble. For example, in order to keep
room windows from dewing in heating, insulation effect should be increased by making room humidity
down or using a double window.
Americans frequently does not humidify when heating, and if humidifying, they lower room humidity con-
siderably.

9. Noise characteristics
9.1. Sound composition :
The physical amount of sound is expressed in a logarithm and the sound level (dB) is calculated by simple
addition or subtraction.
Lc, the sum of n sounds L1, L2, ....Ln (dB) is calculated by the following equation.
Lc = 10 log (10 L1/10 + 10 L2/10 + ..... 10 Ln/10)
Generally, the noise level by composing two sounds of L1 (dB) and L2 (dB) is found in the following figure.

9.2 Sound attenuation


The sound pressure level Lp[dB] at r[m]from a point sound source is composed of the following equation.
Lp = Lw + 10 log (Q/4πr2 + 4/R)
Lw : Power level of sound source
R : Real integer
Q : Directional factor (Spherical sound : 1, Semi-spherical sound: 2)
Generally the noise level Lpr (dB) at r[m] from the sound source is
Lpr = Lps - 20 log r + C
* Lps : Sound source level (dB)
C: Characteristics of sound sources including a point sound source and plane sound source
And the noise level Lp1 and Lp2 at r1 and r2 from noise source is
Lp1 = Lps-20 log r1 + C, Lp2 = Lps - 20 log r2 + C
Therefore, eliminate Lps, and Lp2 = Lp1 + 20 log r1/r2

Example) In a condition the four condensers of noise


level 50dB are placed parallelly, what is the
complex noise at point A? And what is the a b c d
sum of noise at background noise 35dB and
2m 2m 3m 4m
1m distance?
1) The noise level at point A of each aircon is ;
Lpa = Lpb = 50+20 log 1/2 = 44.0
Point A
Lpc = 50 + 20 log 1/3 = 40.5
Lpd = 50 + 20 log 1/4 = 38.0
2) Considering the noise source, the complex noise level is;
L =10 log(1044/10+1044/10+1040.5/10+1038/10+1035/10)
= 48.5(dB)

2) Considerations in capacity selection


• A place of good insulation, an apartment ¡ 90~105 kcal/h/m2
• A place of poor insulation, a slate building ¡ 135~150 kcal/h/m2
• A place of poor insulation and many windows ¡ 150 kcal/h/m2 or over
• A place of poor insulation, many windows, much sunshine ¡ 160 kcal/h/m2 or over
• Western or southern room (+)
• Many persons in a room (+)
• Heater in a room (+)

3) Rough selection of capacity


Considering the above 2), add the clearance rate by 10% each except for lecture room, kitchen, or special
area, and select the capacity.
The nominal area is selected on the basis of outdoor 35°C and indoor 27°C, but actually the temperature in
condenser is higher than standard condition according to summer hottest temperature and condenser installa-
tion condition, so the capacity selection by the rough method does not matter.

TCL Air Conditioner Service Manual

1. Electric parts
It is compressor and motor fan that finally drives after power is supplied. And it is necessary to check the inter-
nal factors like switches, protectors, or lead wires that are needed to reach the compressor and motor fan to
see if their connections are normal and the external factors to see if voltage is normally supplied.
1.1 External factors check
1) Working power and voltage drop
The rated voltage for airconditioner is specified in a workable range.
In order to operate airconditioner normally, it is desirable for the working voltage and minimum. starting voltage
to be within the following chart range.
Especially, just the fact that the voltage when airconditioner is not at work is within the working voltage range is
insufficient, and the voltage is sure to be within the working voltage range by measuring in a operating condi-
tion.

lnput voltage (V1)

* Usable voltage = Product rating ±10%


Voltage drop
Voltage

Starting voltage(V2) Running voltage(V3)

Time

2) Electric wire capacity


The electric wire for airconditioner should have an allowable current more than the load current of the circuit
and be able to control the voltage drop by the load current within 2%.
And it should be a thickness capable of keeping the voltage drop by a starting current within -10%, and espe-
cially for an airconditioner of single phase, the voltage drop (Flicker voltage) by the starting currnet be within
about 5%.
A = V1 - V2 : Voltage drop by the starting current of airconditioner (Flicker voltage)
B = V1 - V3 : Voltage drop by the normal running current of airconditioner

V1 - V3 V1 - V2
X 100 ≤ 2%(B case) X 100 ≤ 5%(A case)
V1 V1

In case of using an airconditioner in a low voltage area where power supply voltage is low, especially, the Flicker
voltage due to inadequate wires may cause the fluorescent light to be off or may affect the other electric products.
So, care should be taken to the wiring work.

Up to and including 6 0.75
Over 6 up to and including 10 1.0
Over 10 up to and including 16 1.5

Over 25 up to and including 32 4.0
Over 32 up to and including 40 6.0
Over 40 up to and including 63 10.0

For rated currents up to 3A, a nominal cross-sectional area of 0.5mm2 is only allowed if the length of the cord
does not exceed 2m.

1.2.1 Insulation resistance


Measure the insulation resistance between live part and dead metal part by 500V insulation resistor to
check if the insulation resistance is more than 10MΩ.
1.2.2 Insulation resistance measurement of compressor
Measure the insulation resistance of compressor between compressor terminal and dead metal part by insu-
lation resistor, and the insulation resistance should be above 10MΩ.
Compressor may change the insulation resistance while running. Accordingly, measure the insulation
resistance just after running as needed.
• Note: For R-22 used in airconditioner, the dielectric rate on liquid state is high. If a contaminant is mixed
into R-22, the electric resistance is extremely low and the poor insulation is occurred. Accordingly,
be sure to prevent contaminants from mixing into refrigerant system.

1.2.3 Running capacitor


1) Earth inspection between terminal and body
As shown in Figure 1, connect a resistor between one side terminal and body of condenser to check for
continuity.
2) Capacity inspection
(1) Remove the lead wire from both terminals of condenser to be checked.
(2) Contact both terminals of lead wire for 2-3 sec., and discharge.
(Be sure to perform to prevent the tester damage before measuring.)
(3) After discharging, contact both terminals of tester with the terminal of condenser to see the dial vibrating
direction of resistor. (See Figure 2.)
There are three kinds of dial vibrating direction in tester, and each vibrating direction and symptom is as
follows.
A: Normal : Dial shakes instantaneously and returns to the original state immediately.
B: Short : Dial remains moved.
C: Capacity consumed up : Dial does not move at all.

Figure 1. Figure 2.

1.2.4 Motor fan


1) Power off, remove motor fan, and test independently.
2) Measure the resistance of main coil, sub coil and control coil in motor.
3) Use a good quality of capacitor in testing.
4) Diagnose the following troubles by the independent test, and replace motor.
a) Motor is not started.
b) Motor rotation rises very slowly.
c) Bearing failure : The shaft does not move.
d) Arc occurs in the motor inside.
e) Smoke emits from motor inside.
f) Excessive noise

1.2.5 Thermostat
There are 3 kinds of thermostat malfunction.
1) Leak of gas charged in sensor part
2) Short of contact point
3) Wrong wiring
Switch off at room temperature 18-30°C, turn carefully the knob of thermostat from 1 to 10 (the number may
be different or a figure be used according to model) or reversely, and click sounds.
After the sound is heard, turn reversely to check again the click sounds.
If click sounds, the thermostat is in normal. If room temperature exceeds 30°C, test should be done after
cooling by putting the sensor part of thermostat into a cold water container because the contact point is not
opened.
If knob is turned but click does not sound, remove the thermostat cover and examine the contact point.
The fused contact point should be replaced with a new thermostat.
If contact point is not closed despite of the sensor temperature being sufficiently high, the gas at the sensor
part may be leaked. In this case, replace the thermostat.
When replacing thermostat, be sure to conduct after performing carefully as the above content.

1.2.6 Thermistor
Pull out the lead wire of thermistor terminal to test continuity.
Connect a tester to the terminal of thermistor and measure the resistance. The resistance value varies
according to the measuring condition and temperature, so in order to vary temperature forcibly, put water in
a cup, cool the sensor part of thermistor, and then measure the resistance, and also measure in a condition
that the sensor part of thermistor becomes warm by hands.

1.3 Compressor trouble diagnosis


1.3.1 Electrical troubles
1) Ground test
Test single phase and three phase in the same
manner.
(1) Shut off the power supply to product.
(2) Remove the wires connected to the compres-
sor terminal.
(3) Clean the compressor terminal and discharge
(suction) pipe.
(4) Measure the resistance of discharge (suction)
pipe and each terminal by using a R x 1K Ohm Meter
scale of Ohm meter. R x 1K
(5) If dial moves remarkably, the terminal is in
ground state. So, replace the compressor.
2) Wrong wiring check of compressor terminal
Examine the wiring diagram of compressor terminal or the electric circuit diagram of product on the cover
of compressor terminal to check if there is wrong wiring.
3) Checking of wire disconnection or overload protector (O.L.P) operating condition
This check is to see the wire terminal condition of motor inside, and for a single phase compressor with
O.L.P built-in, it identifies the O.L.P operating condition and wire disconnection.
(1) Shut off the power supply to product.
(2) Remove the wires connected to the compres-
sor terminal.
(3) After checking the ground state, cool the
compressor sufficiently.
(at room temperature)
<For single-phase compressor>
(4) Measure the resistance of each terminal by
Ohm meter R x 1K scale, and if dial does not
move, compressor is in opened condition.
<For three-phase compressor>
(5) Measure the resistance of each terminal by
Ohm meter R x 1K scale, and if dial does not
move, the wire between two terminals is
disconnected.
-> Action: Replace the compressor.
* OLP may be operated by the following causes, so be sure to find and remove the cause.
(1) Operation at low voltage
(2) Defects of operation or starting device
(3) Overheat of compressor motor due to the condensing coil closing, condensing motor defects,
liquid line close, or injection capillary close.

TCL Air Conditioner Service Manual

1.3.2 Mechanical troubles


1) Not starting
(1) Phenomenon : Compressor is not started but the starting current continues to flow.
(2) Checking
a) Check capacitor. (for a type where a capacitor for compressor starting or operating is used)
b) If there is no trouble, it is judged as lock due to the wear of compressor inside or the damage of lubricating
device. Replace the compressor.
2) Poor compression
(1) Phenomenon : Compressor is at work, but the cooling capacity is weak, the pressure of high pressure side
is low and the pressure of low pressure side is high.
(2) Cause : Damage of valve in compressor inside, damage of connecting rod or crank shaft, or other internal
leak
(3) Checking
a) Stop and then start the condenser fan, and if the pressure of high pressure side does not increase, the
compressor is bad.
b) Measure the temperature of discharge pipe in compressor, and if it is abnormally low temperature (50°C or
less), the compressor is bad.
c) Conduct the pump down test of system to check the compression capacity.
- Power off the product.
- Close the service valve of liquid line. (Rotate the valve rod clockwise to close the valve rod.)
- Start product and observe the suction pressure.
- If compressor is normal by pumping down the system, pressure is kept 0-5 psiG (0-0.35kg/cm2.G), and if
the suction pressure increases, the compressor is bad due to the internal leak or valve damage.
(4) The compressor to be assumed as bad compression should be replaced.
If running for a long time in a bad compression condition, abnormal superheat may occur and the
compressor motor is burnt.
- Clean the cycle.
3) Overcurrent flowing while running
Check the working pressure, and if there is no trouble, it is assumed as the compressor bearing damage.
Replace the compressor.
(Excessive refrigerant charging may cause the overcurrent.)

2. Refrigerant system
2.1 Refrigerant system troubleshooting
Check the following items when troubleshooting the refrigerant system.
1) The thermostat setting or remocon temperature setting is not wrong?
2) Air filter is not cleaned?
3) Blower fan control switch is not at "low"?
4) Ventilation lever is not opened?
5) There is no obstacle in suction or discharge side of outdoor unit?
6) Dirty heat exchanger causes the heat exchanging efficiency to be down?
(Thorough cleaning)
7) Cooling/heating load is not increased?
8) Too many persons are in room? (Cooling)
9) The insulation of window gap is not wrong?
If there is no trouble from the above checks and also if there is no trouble on the electric appliances of
airconditioner body, it is assumed as refrigerant system failure.

a) Set aircon to High cool, run cooling for 15 min. or more, and measure the temperature difference of suc-
tion/discharge air in indoor unit. (Adjust the wind direction so that wind is discharged to the front direction in
the installed condition.)
b) Measure the voltage and current in running condition.
c) Measure the pressure of low pressure side in cooling condition.
(If the temperature is low, convert into the test switch.)

As shown in Figure above, connect the manifold gauge to the low pressure (gas side) tube of condenser and mea-
sure the pressure.

2.1.3 Symptoms and actions


1) Short of refrigerant
The short of refrigerant appears in a slightly different symptom as (1) no refrigerant or (2) short of refrigerant.
(1) Symptoms : The temperature difference of suction-discharge air is 8°C or less, the running
current is less than the rated current, and the pressure of low pressure side is
low. (These are symtoms changed by short of refrigerant.)
(2) Judgement method : Frost is formed from the capillary tube outlet to the evaporator inlet.
The suction pipe of compressor is not cold. (The temperature of suction pipe is
similar to the outdoor temperature.)
The pressure of low pressure side in cooling is 4kg/cm2.G or less. (Surrounding
temperature : 30°C or over)
Refrigerant oil comes out from the evaporator-condenser connections and each
welded portion. (Finding the gas leak place)
(3) Actions: ➀ Find the gas leak area. (Check at balance pressure of 5kg/cm2.G or over.)
➁ Charge refrigerant to the specified level.
➂ Check for gas leak.

2) Closing of refrigerant system


(1) Symptoms : If the refrigerant system of strainer or capillary tube is closed, pressure drops at
the outlet of closed area, and refrigerant evaporates to form and attach dew or
frost.
The running current is less than the rated current, and the pressure of low pres-
sure side is lower than the normal. If completely closed, the pressure of low
pressure side is to be 0kg/cm2.G as time goes by.
(2) Judgement method : The same symptoms as the short of refrigerant appears, and the same phenome-
non occurs even if refrigerant is sealed.
It takes 3 min. or more for refrigerant to balance.
If running in the condition, the temperature of discharge gas becomes higher, the
refrigerant oil is deteriorated, and the life time may be affected.
(Compressor motor may be burnt.)

10
TCL Air Conditioner Service Manual

3) Overcharge
(1) Symptoms : • The temperature difference of suction-discharge air is 8°C or less, the running current
is higher than the specified current, the pressure of low pressure side is high, and
the compressor and suction pipe are cold.
If running in the condition, pressure switch activates at overload operation to make
continuous operation impossible, compressor is difficult to start, and fuse or breaker is
easy to be disconnected.
(2) Actions : ➀ Dischage the refrigerant. (By 3-5kg/cm2G)
➁ Charge refrigerant to the specified level.
➂ Check for gas leak.

4) Bad compression
(1) Symptoms : • The temperature difference of suction-discharge air is little, the running current is less
than the specified current, the pressure of high pressure side is low, and the pressure
of low pressure is high.
(2) Judgement method :• Close service valve of high pressure side in condenser (front seat) and connect the
manifold gauge to the service valve of low pressure side.
(Close the valve.)
• If the dial of pressure gauge does not indicate 0kg/cm2G or less by cooling in the con-
dition, the compressor is judged as bad.

2.2 Precautions on repair


1) When discharging refrigerant (from pipe or body), the discharge outlet should direct the direction where
nobody exists.
2) Do not work near fire or flame.
3) Work in a large space if possible and arrange the scaffold.
4) Especially for working on rooftop, prepare a place to keep tools and take care to prevent from falling.
5) While running (pump down work, test run), do not insert hands into fan.
6) Clean the Indoor-outdoor connecting pipes and the manifold gauge edges to be free from dust or moisture.
7) Be sure to fill refrigerant to the specified level. (If refrigerant is too much or short, the capacity is down and
trouble may occur.)
8) Keep tools well, and check the measuring machine periodically.

1.2.1 Strong points
1) Chemical stability
2) No toxicity
3) By little corrosive action on metals, it is applicable to almost all metals.
4) The ratio of Cp/Cv is lower than ammonia and the discharge gas temperature is low, so air cooling type is available.

1.2.2 Weak points


1) A little amount of evaporation heat should circulate a great deal of liquid at the same refrigerating capacity.
2) When using for iron steels, scale occurs more rapidly than ammonia use due to hydrolysis .
3) Generally it is fused in lubricant.
4) Since it is not melted in water, water is separated and water closing occurs in capillary tube.

4) Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and

5) Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigera-
tion system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor
and outdoor unit must be leak tested and evacuated to
remove any noncondensables and moisture from the
system.

3.8.2 Air purging with vacuum pump

A. Preparation
• Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side tubes)
between the indoor and outdoor units have been prop-
erly connected and all wiring for the test run has been
completed. Remove the service valve caps from both
the gas and the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Note
that both the liquid and the gas side service valves on
the outdoor unit are kept closed at this stage.

B. Leak test
• Connect the manifold valve(with pressure gauges) and
dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this service port with
charge hoses.
CAUTION
Be sure to use a manifold valve for air purging. If it is
not available, use a stop valve for this purpose. The "Hi"
knob of the manifold valve must always be kept close.

• Pressurize the system to no more than 150 P.S.I.G.


with dry nitrogen gas and close the cylinder valve when
the gauge reading reached 150 P.S.I.G. Next, test for
leaks with liquid soap.
CAUTION
To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant system in a liquid state, the
top of the cylinder must be higher than its bottom when you pressurize
the system. Usually, the cylinder is used in a vertical standing position.
