Air Conditioning System Precautions
The air conditioning system contains fluids and components which could be
potentially hazardous to the service engineer
or the environment if not serviced and handled correctly. The following
guidelines are intended to alert the service engineer
to potential sources of danger and emphasise the importance of ensuring the
integrity of the Air Conditioning operating
conditions and components installed to the vehicle.
Where necessary, additional specific precautions are detailed in the relevant
sections of this Manual and also in the Health
and Safety Section. These precautions must be referred to prior to commencing
repair operations.
The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is HFC-134a (Hydrofluorocarbon)
R134a.
WARNINGS:
Servicing must only be carried out by personnel familiar with both the
vehicle system and the charging and testing
equipment. All operations must be carried out in a well ventilated area away
from open flame and heat sources.
R134a is a hazardous liquid and when handled incorrectly can cause serious
injury. Suitable protective clothing,
consisting of face protection, heat proof gloves, rubber boots and rubber apron
or waterproof overalls, must be worn when
carrying out operations on the air conditioning system.
Remedial actions
WARNING: Due
to its low evaporating temperature, R134a must be handled with care. R134a
splashed on any part of
the body will cause immediate freezing of that area. Also, refrigerant cylinders
and replenishment trolleys when
discharging will freeze skin to them if contact is made.
If an accident involving R134a should occur, conduct the following remedial
actions:
- If liquid R134a enters the eye, do not rub it. Gently run large
quantities of eye wash over affected eye to raise the
temperature. If an eye wash is not available, cool, clean water may be used
to flush the eye. After rinsing, cover
the eye with a clean pad and seek immediate medical attention.
- If liquid R134a is splashed onto the skin, run large quantities of water
over the affected area to raise the
temperature. Implement the same action if the skin comes in contact with
discharging cylinders. Wrap the
contaminated body parts in blankets (or similar materials) and seek
immediate medical attention.
- If the debilitating effects of inhalation of R134a vapour are suspected,
seek fresh air. If the affected person is
unconscious, move them away from the contaminated area to fresh air and
apply artificial respiration and/or oxygen
and seek immediate medical attention.
Service precautions
Observe the following precautions when handling components used in the air
conditioning system:
- Air conditioning units must not be lifted by their hoses, pipes or
capillary lines.
- Hoses and lines must not be subjected to any twist or stress; the
efficiency of the system will be impaired by kinks
or restrictions. Make sure that hoses are correctly positioned before
tightening couplings, and make sure that all
clips and supports are utilised.
- Flexible hoses should not be positioned closer than 100 mm (4.0 in) to
the exhaust manifold unless protected by
heat shielding.
- Completed assemblies must be checked for refrigeration lines touching
metal panels. Any direct contact of
components and panels may transmit noise and so must be eliminated.
- The appropriate torque wrench must be used when tightening refrigerant
connections to the stipulated value. An
additional spanner must be used to hold the union to prevent twisting of the
pipe when tightening connections.
- Before connecting any hose or pipe, make sure that refrigerant oil is
applied to the seat of the new O-rings, BUT
NOT to the threads of the connection.
- All protective plugs or caps must remain in place in the component until
immediately prior to connection.
- Make sure components are at room temperature before
uncapping/unplugging, to prevent condensation of moisture
from the air that enters it.
- When disconnecting, immediately plug or cap all air conditioning pipes
to prevent ingress of dirt and moisture into
the system.
- Components must not remain uncapped/unplugged, if a system has been left
uncapped/unplugged for 20 minutes
or longer, a new receiver/drier must be installed.
- The receiver/drier contains desiccant which absorbs moisture. It must be
positively sealed at all times. A
receiver/drier that has been left uncapped for longer than 20 minutes must
not be used; install a new unit.
- The receiver/drier should be the last component connected to the system
to make sure optimum dehydration and
maximum moisture protection of the system.
- Whenever a component of the refrigeration system is replaced, it will
also be necessary to install a new
receiver/drier unit.
- Use alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth to clean dirty connections.
- Make sure that all new parts installed are marked for use with R134a.
- When a major repair has been completed, a leak test should be conducted;
refer to the Repairs Section of this
manual for the correct procedure.
Refrigerant oil
CAUTION:
Refrigerant oil easily absorbs water and must not be stored for long periods. Do
not pour unused
refrigerant oil back into the container. Always use an approved refrigerant oil.
When replacing components in the air conditioning system, drain the
refrigerant oil from the component being replaced
into a graduated container. On assembly, add the quantity of refrigerant oil
drained to the new component - See Air
Conditioning Compressor Replacement in this Section.
Compressor
A new compressor is sealed and pressurised with Nitrogen gas. When installing
a new compressor, slowly release the
sealing cap; gas pressure should be heard to vent as the seal is broken.
CAUTION: A
new compressor should always be sealed and could be pressurised with nitrogen
gas. To avoid possible
oil loss, release the sealing cap(s) slowly. Do not remove the cap(s) until
immediately prior to connecting the air
conditioning pipes to the compressor.
Rapid refrigerant discharge
If the air conditioning system is involved in accident damage and the system
is punctured, the refrigerant will discharge rapidly. The rapid discharge of
refrigerant will also result in the loss of most of the oil from the system. The
compressor
must be removed and all the remaining oil in the compressor drained and refilled
as instructed in the air conditioning
section of this manual.
Precautions for refrigerant recovery, recycling and recharging
When the air conditioning system is recharged, any existing refrigerant is first
recovered from the system and recycled. The
system is then charged with the required weight of refrigerant and volume of
refrigerant oil.
WARNING:
Refrigerant must always be recycled before reuse to make sure that the purity of
the refrigerant is high
enough for safe use in the air conditioning system. Recycling should always be
carried out with equipment which is design
certified by Underwriter Laboratory Inc. for compliance with SAE J1991. Other
equipment may not recycle refrigerant to the
required level of purity.
CAUTIONS:
A R134a Refrigerant Recovery Recycling Recharging Station must not be used
with any other type of refrigerant.
Refrigerant R134a from domestic and commercial sources must not be used in motor
vehicle air conditioning systems.
The system must be evacuated immediately before recharging commences. Delay
between evacuation and recharging
is not permitted.
