Compressor lubricant.

ESSENTIAL: The compressor lubricant is extremely hygroscopic; always use FRESH oil.

Checking the compressor oil level.

There are three specific cases :

1) Repairs to a system without leaks.

2) Slow leak.

3) Fast leak.

1) Repairing a system without leaks.

a) Using draining/recovery equipment not fitted with an oil decanter.

- Drain the system as slowly as possible via the LOW PRESSURE valve, so as not to lose any oil.

- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.

b) Using draining/filling equipment fitted with an oil decanter.

- Drain the R 134.a fluid from the system in accordance with the instructions in the equipment handbook.

- Measure the amount of oil recovered.

- Add the same amount of NEW oil when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.

c) Replacing a compressor.

- Remove the old compressor, drain it and measure the oil quantity.

- Drain the new compressor (supplied full), so that the same amount of NEW oil is left in the compressor as was in the old compressor.

- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.

Checking the compressor oil level (continued)

2) Slow leak.

- Slow leaks do not lead to oil loss, therefore the same procedure should be followed as if there was no leak at all.

3) Fast leak.

- This type of leak causes both oil loss as well as allowing air to enter the system.It is therefore necessary to :

- Replace the dehydrator.

- Drain as much oil as possible (when replacing the faulty component).

Either before or during filling of the system with R 134.a fluid, introduce 80 cc of NEW oil into the system

The evaporator makes use of new technology and is called a "plate evaporator".

The coils around which the R 134.a fluid flowed previously, are replaced by plates which offer a greater area of contact with the air, thus increasing

evaporator efficiency.
