General description and operation of air-conditioning system

1 Temperature vacuum switch 2 Blower switch

3 Lateral ventilation (cooling air outlet) 4 Cooling air outlet center

5 Cooling air outlet from defroster nozzle on windshield

6 Cooling air outlet in leg room (with temperature vacuum

switch pulled)

7 Operating lever cooling air outlet center 8 Heater switch lefthand vehicle section

9 Heater switch righthand vehicle section

The air-conditioning system supplies cooled and dehumidified air for cooling the interior of the vehicle. The system operates with outside air and recirculated air cooling.

2 For normal cooling the blower switch (2) is set to stage I, " or III. On vehicles to 07/80 the temperature vacuum switch (1) is turned to the right and adjusted depending on desired refrigerant output in range between 0 and mark on blue graduated scale, upon which 100 % fresh air will blow through evaporator.

Version up to 07/80

83.6-500/1 F4

10 Operating lever for cooling air distribution

Lever left = Air for windshield and lateral ventilation

Lever center = Air for windshield and lateral ventilation, as well as for driver's

and rear compartment leg room with knob of temperature vacuum switch (1) pulled

Lever right = Air for lateral ventilation as well as for driver's and rear compartment leg room With knob of temperature vacuum switch pulled

3 For maximum cooling, temperature vacuum switch (1) is set in range between mark and end of blue

scale, so that approx. 80% of recirculated air and approx. 20% of outside air are guided through evaporator. Heater switches (8 and 9) should be at position O.

4 On vehicles starting 08/80 the temperature dial (1) is turned out of end position "0". Step less increase of refrigerant output continues up to position "Max".

5 Upon engagement of selector dial in "Max" position, the system switches from fresh air cooling to recirculating air cooling (80 % recirculating air, 20 % fresh air).

Version starting 08/80

6 The air-conditioninq system operates only with

the engine running. High engine speed provides high speed of refrigerant compressor and thereby increased cooling output. A 3-stage blower (2) to increase and control air volume is located below temperature vacuum switch (1).

7 The evaporator housing with blower is clipped to heater box instead of standard heater blower. On vehicles with air-conditioning, the heater box has two additional flaps for driver's and rear compartment

leg room.

8 With recirculating air flap (3) closed - temperature vacuum switch up to position 3/4 cooling capacity = approx. 2000 cutting-in angle - fresh air will be drawn in through upper portion of evaporator housing by blower (5).

9 With recirculating air flap opened (starting at

3/4 cooling capacity) approx. 80% of air inside vehicle is drawn out of leg room and approx. 20% outside air (fresh air) through a leak of recirculating air flap.

83.6-500/2 F4

183-11488

10 The blower forces the air through the evaporator (4) to heater box. With the center nozzles opened (operating lever 7 is turned to the left) the air will flow directly out of central nozzle (4). A slight share of the air is guided through the heat exchangers to the lateral ventilation outlet (3), the defroster nozzles (5) and the rear compartment and leg room openings (6).

11 With the center nozzles closed (operating lever 7 to the right) the air is guided through the heat exchangers to the defroster nozzles, to the lateral ventilation outlet and the rear compartment and leg room openings. The cooled and dehumidified air can be warmed up again by turning the heater switches (8 and 9) to the right. If the temperature vacuum switch is turned to the right (starting from approx. 300 cut-in angle) the rear passenger compartment and legroom openings are closed by the additional flaps in heater box, starting from 03/79 on lefthand steering vehicles 11/79 on right hand steering vehicles also for defroster nozzles. If cooled air is also desired in legroom, pull button of temperature switch (up to 07/80). Starting 08/80 the flaps for defroster and legroom openings

are manually operated.

Rapid cooling

12 For fast cooling of a vehicle interior which has been exposed to extensive solar radiation for some time, open the adjustable air outlet openings (3 and 4).

13 Set temperature vacuum switch or selector dial

(1) to full cooling capacity (turn knob completely to the right into position "MAX" and set blower switch (2) to position 3). Open vehicle windows only until

all the hot air is gone. Upon cooling down of vehicle interior, set temperature switch or selector dial (1) in such a manner that the desired temperature is attained, in addition, following sufficient cooling, all the air outlet openings may be opened. However, to obtain an

air distribution free of draft, it is recommended to let all the cooling air escape through defroster nozzle behind windshield glass following sufficient cooling down. With this adjustment, the outside of the windshield glass will become foggy in moist and cool weather. I n such a case, increase the air temperature

or close the cooling air outlet toward windshield glass.

83.6-500/3 F4

Important between seasons

14 Between seasons in periods of high humidity (fogging of window glass from inside) the air-conditioning system may be engaged in addition to vehicle heater. As a result, depending on position of temperature vacuum switch or selector dial (1), the moisture will be drawn out of fresh air or recirculating air at evaporator. This cooled down air can be heated again to a pleasing temperature by the respective position of the heater switches (8 and 9).

Note: The air-conditioning system should be switched on at least once a month for a short period.

15 This is particularly important during the cold season, when the air-conditioner is not required. Operation is necessary to lubricate the seal on rotating crankshaft of refrigerant compressor.

Diagrammatic view of an air-conditioning system

The refrigerant compressor (1) driven by the engine will suck up the heated, gaseous refrigerant R 12 for delivery to condenser (2). The head wind will flow through condenser located in front of radiator and will cool the refrigerant vapor which has been additionally heated and put under high pressure, until it is fluid. The fluid refrigerant will then flow to the receiver dehydrator (3). The filter-drier, installed in receiver dehydrator will extract any remaining water from fluid refrigerant to prevent any icing-up of expansion valve (4). A sight glass at top of receiver dehydrator perm its checking quantity of refrigerant in system at any time. With the system switched on, the refrigerant should circulate free of bubbles. From the receiver dehydrator the refrigerant flows to the expansion valve (4). The expansion valve on evaporator and a metering device in expansion valve will change the high pressure of the fluid refrigerant into a low pressure fluid in evaporator (5), upon which the fluid will become vapor. The required vaporizing heat is taken from the air flowing through evaporator: The air will be cooled.

The vaporized refrigerant is drawn up by the refrigerant compressor and is again compressed to complete the cycle.

Safety nneasures

The air conditioning system is filled with safety refrigerant R 12. This refrigerant is colorless and odorless. At normal temperature it is non-toxic, non-inflammable and not explosive at any mixing ratio with air. When working on air conditioning systems, the following safety measures should nevertheless be observed:

a) Avoid touching fluid refrigerant. Treat afflicted skin areas similar to frostbite. Wear goggles to protect eyes. See doctor immediately if refrigerant enters eye.

b) Drain system when repairing air conditioner. Do not drain gaseous refrigerant in closed rooms; since refrigerant is heavier than air inspection pits, if in use, increase risk of suffocation.

1 Refrigerant bottle contents approx. 7.5 kg

2 Oneway Frigen Baby bottle, contents approx. 430 g

c) Never clean components of system with hot steam.

Unse only hydrogen, R 12 and R 11 for cleaning.

d) Never perform any welding jobs on components of closed system or nearby. No matter whether the system is filled with refrigerant or not, heat will lead to a very high overpressure which in turn may damage the system or even result in an explosion. R 12, which is absolutely non-toxic at normal temperatures, will decompose into hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid when touched by a flame. Among others, the decomposition products also contain chlorine and phosgene. Since these products are detrimental to health, pertinent

care is essential.

e) If a part of the air conditioning system is damaged or leaking, e.q. by a vehicle accident, leave system switched off since otherwise the refrigerant compressor may suffer damage due to the absence of cooling and lubrication.

Repair instructions for air conditioning system

Atention!

Carefully observe safety rules (83-504).

1 Repairs are permitted with air conditioning system drained only.

2 Even though the system has been drained, a slight residual pressure may be present when loosening some connection or other. I n such a case, reduce pressure slowly prior to loosening connection completely.

3 When handling refrigerant circuit, immediately close all openings airtight with closing plugs.

4 During assembly, make particularly sure that all connections and sealing rings are in perfect condition. It will be of advantage to use new sealing rings for repairs. To avoid damage, moisten sealing surfaces and seals always with special cold-flowing oil.

5 When tightening connections, always apply counterhold with a wrench and tighten to specified torque. If this is not done, the connections will be subject to early leaks. Prior to filling system with refrigerant, check oil volume in compressor first and then evacuate entire system (83-512,514 and 516).

6 Store all spare parts dry and in enclosed condition.

7 Blowout refrigerant hoses, pipe lines, condensers and evaporators prior to installation with nitrogen or refrigerant R 12.

8 During assembly, remove closing plugs from components only shortly prior to installation. This is particularly important for filter drier (receiver dehydrator). An unclosed receiver dehydrator with filter drier VIii I I be saturated with moisture and unfit for use after a short period.

Leak tester (R ilo-senior-Ieak detector)

Leak test

If a checkup shows that the air-conditioning system holds not enough refrigerant, the cause for the loss must be found. The leak test can be made with the system both filled or empty.

Leak test with system filled

With the system filled, leaks can be found with a leak tester (1).

For this purpose, switch on air-conditioning system to full capacity and run engine at approx. 2000/min. Stop engine after approx. 2 minutes. With mouth

(2) of leak tester, slowly check circuit and hold for some time close to spots where a leak is suspected, e.g. at connecting points, pipe connections, grease cup of compressor, on valves, on cooling air outlet etc. If refrigerant R 12 emerges at one of these spots, the leak is indicated optically or acoustically by the leak tester.

83.6-512/1

Leak tests with system drained

When the system is completely drained, a vacuum pump (1.1) is used to evacuate the entire system, that is, the max. possible vacuum is generated. Checking vacuum with a vacuum gauge permits finding out whether the system has no large leaks. Check oil level in compressor first (83-520).

If there is a leak, the pressure gauge reading will increase, that is, the vacuum is reduced. For accurate determination of the leaking point, fill system with approx. 100 g refrigerant R 12 and perform leak test with a leak tester.

Evacuation

Unscrew closing caps (1) of line connections on both service valves.

2 Connect hose lines (5, 8, 9 and 10). Make sure that the offset end of the hoses (5, 8 and 9) with the pressure pin for actuating the Schrader valve on connection (C) of assembly tester or on connection of both service valves is connected (hoses without pressure pin cannot be used here).

3 Completely open valves (A and B) on assembly tester (2). Close valves on filling cylinder (12) or refrigerant bottle (16).

4 Operate vacuum pump (11) and evacuate system for at least 15 minutes.

5 Close valve (A and B) upon attaining the required vacuum (0.9 - 1.0 bar).

83.6-512/2

6 Disconnect connecting hose (8) or close valve (21) and stop vacuum pump (11). Open valves (A and B) after approx. 10 minutes.

7 If the vacuum pressure in relation to previously read value is down by more than 0.15, the system

has not been evacuated long enough or is leaking. Evacuate system once again. If the vacuum drops with regard to the previously read value, fill approx. 100 g refrigerant (gaseous) into system. Check entire system for leaks with leak tester and seal leaks. Then evacuate system again.

8 Close valves (A and B).

9 Fill system with refrigerant R 12 (83-514).

10 Connect service unit (items 1 and 2).

11 Connect valves (A and B) to assembly tester (2) and valves to filling cylinder (12).

13 Continue evacuating vacuum meter until pointer of vacuum meter stops. The max. possible vacuum has now been attained.

14 Align drag pointer of vacuum meter with pointer.

15 Evacuate air-conditioning system (according to items 3 to 5). The max. possible vacuum is attained, when the pointer of the vacuum meter arrives at value of preset drag pointer.

16 Close valve (21) and switch off vacuum pump.

17 If the vacuum meter shows a steady pressure increase, the air-condition ing system has a leak.

Evacuation with vacuum meter (Torr meter)

Note: A vacuum meter (18) is located on the evacuating and filling device (service unit) between assembly tester (2) and vacuum pump (11).

The max. attainable vacuum can be measured by means of the vacuum meter. A leak in air-conditioning system is more clearly shown by a drop in vacuum.

The passage to vacuum meter is closed by valve (19). The passage from assembly tester (2) to vacuum pump (11) or to valve (21) will remain open.

Upon evacuation, valve (19) should always remain closed. If the vacuum meter is loaded at more than 1.2 bar, it will become defective and can no longer be used.

18 Fill air-conditioning system with approx. 100 9 refrigerant, then check entire system for leaks with a leak tester and seal leak.

19 Evacuate air-conditioning system once again.

20 Close valves (A and B as well as 19 and 21).

Note

The jobs for refilling and filling up of air-conditioning system are in principle alike. When refilling, evacuate system first (83-512).

Note: Fill ing requ ires a supply bottle (1) with refrigerant, which is commercially available just like e.g.

a supply bottle with oxygen or acetylene gas. In addition there are small cans (2) [Frigen-babies]). containing approx. 1/2 Liter R 12. If hard to obtain, contact one of the specialist companies manufacturing or operating refrigerating units.

83.6-514/1

Since the refrigerant in the supply bottle is under pressure and liquid and will flow in the shape of gas when filling the air-conditioning system without filling cylinder or when refilling, it is recommended (at least when the supply bottle is already partially empty) to place the supply bottle in a water bath of max. 40° C. If the system is completely empty, the refrigerant can also be filled in liquid shape via pressure side upon evacuation. Filling up can be done only in the shape of gas with the system switched on. When filling the system from a refrigerant bottle of 10 or 20 kg capacity, a scale with 100 g graduation for the bottle or a filling cylinder will be required.

Attention!

If filling up in the shape of gas, the supply bottle should always be set up with the lock in upward direction.

A. Filling system from supply bottle

Filling-in refrigerant in the shape of gas

2 Screw line connection reduction piece (26) on supply bottle (16). Connect filling hose (5) to reduction piece (26) and blow through for a short moment with refrigerant to remove remains of dirt and moisture, if any, then connect filling hose (5) to connection (6) (suction side) of service valve (offset end with pressure pin of hose line}.

83.6-514/2

3 Run engine at approx. 1000/min and set temperature selector knob to highest cooling capacity and blower switch to full blower speed. In rooms with temperatures above 22°C blowout condenser with an additional blower. Blowing out of condenser will always speed up filling.

4 Slowly open valve on supply bottle. When filling up air-conditioning system, continue until refrigerant flows free of bubbles past sight glass of receiver dehydrator.

5 When refilling, fill in approx. 100-200 g refrigerant. Then stop engine.

6 Check complete air-conditioning system with leak tester and seal leaks, if required. Fill system with full quantity of refrigerant only when there are no more leaks.

3 Slowly drain refrigerant either into a glass bottle

or into the open air. If quickly drained, the refrigerant will carry the oil from system and refrigerant compressor along.

Attention!

Do not drain refrigerant into assembly pits to avoid risk of suffocation.

4 The system is completely drained as soon as the pressure gauge indicates 0 bar or only a slight overpressure, or when no more refrigerant comes out of connected filling hoses.

5 Unscrew hose lines and close service valves with closing caps. The required repairs can then be made.

Note

Dirt or moisture (water) in air conditioning system may result in failure of system and considerable follow-up damage.

Failures in air conditioning system, particularly if refrigerant compressor is defective, e.g. by a blocking effect, will result in considerable contamination of system by burnt refrigerant oil or abrasives. Since there is a possibility that abrasives of refrigerant compressor may arrive in lines of air conditioning system, replace pipe line with hoses on refrigerant compressor in such a case.

If contamination of the air conditioning system is suspected or if parts of the air conditioning system have been stored in the open air for extended periods, clean entire air conditioning system according to extent of contamination.

If there is little contamination or moisture, blow out air conditioning system with nitrogen.

If the contamination is more pronounced, flush air conditioning system with R 11.

If cleaning of air conditioning system is required, always replace receiver dehydrator.

8 Mount hose lines on refrigerant compressor or pipe line.

9 Evacuate air conditionng system, fill up and check for leaks.

Cleaning with R 11 cleaning unit

Note: The boiling temperature of the R 11 cleaner is at + 23.80 C. For this reason, store R 11 in cool place and keep container well closed.

R 11 in cleaning unit may evaporate through pressure relief valve (7) if its temperature is above 240 C. It is therefore recommended to return the contents of the cleaning unit to supply tank after flushing.

83.1-518/3 F 2

The R 11 cleaner can be used several times. As soon as the cleaner looks rather cloudy (showing up when flowing through PVC hoses (6), renew together with KC dry pearls in filter drier (2).

Attention!

Do not breath R 11 gas in high concentration. Vent closed rooms after flushing.

Note

Check oil charge of refrigerant compressor prior to each refill of refrigerant or when refrigerant or oil has been lost.

Since a certain quantity of oil is picked up by the refrigerant and will get into the system, a loss of refrigerant may also include a loss of oi I.

83.6-520/1 F4

Oil level in compressor should never be below a minimum level of 180 cc or a maximum of 300 cc.

Too much oil is detrimental for operation of system and will also result in reduced efficiency of air-conditioning system.

When the refrigerant compressor is replaced, the oil volume of new compressor should not exceed the normal oil level.

All compressors were filled with approx. 0.3 liter of cold-flowing oil by the manufacturer. Under normal conditions, oil must either be changed or added. Never fill in machine or engine oil.

The oil dipstick for measuring the oil level in refrigerant compressor must be self-made.

Attention

If only a small quantity of refrigerant (up to approx. 200 g per year! need be added, no oil level checkup is required.

Checking the oil level

Drain air-conditioning system (83-518).

2 Slowly turn out oil check screw (b) and slowly evacuate any pressure still prevailing in crankcase.

3 Turn crankshaft of refrigerant compressor so that the splining on crankshaft stub is in upward direction. If the position of the splining cannot be recognized, (refrigerant compressor with built-in electromagnetic clutch), rotate crankshaft by feel until the oil dipstick can be pushed through to lowest part of crankcase.

Note

If the system has been flushed with R 11, it is not necessary to drain cold-flowing oil from new refrigerant compressor (no compressor oil need be filled in). Be sure to install a new receiver dehydrator.

I n the event of a refrigerant loss of up to 200 g over an extended period, no topping-up of cold-flowing oil is necessary. If more than 200 g of refrigerant are topped up, the air-conditioning system should be checked for leaks.

The specified quantity of cold-flowing oil can be forced into filled air conditioning system by means of an oil pump. If fresh oil must be filled in, add approx. 30 cc cold-flowing oil into system prior to evacuation.

The 4-cylinder refrigerant compressor has a change of approx. 170 cc (6 oz) of cold-flowing oil. Since this refrigerant compressor has not been provided with an oil sump, a certain quantity of oil will circulate during regular operation in the air-conditioning system together with the R 12 compound, If one component

of the system must be replaced, fill a certain quantity of oil directly into the new component.
