REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

PFP:KA990

Refrigerant Cycle

AJS00074

REFRIGERANT FLOW

The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the evaporator, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the evaporator is
controlled by an externally equalized expansion valve, located inside the evaporator case.

FREEZE PROTECTION

Under usual operating conditions, when the A/C is switched on, the compressor runs continuously, and the
evaporator pressure, and therefore, temperature is controlled by the V-6 variable displacement compressor to
prevent freeze up.

Refrigerant System Protection

AJS000BX

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR

The refrigerant system is protected against excessively high- or low-pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above, or falls below the specifications, the refrig-
erant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends the voltage signal to the ECM.
ECM makes the A/C relay go OFF and stops the compressor when pressure on the high-pressure side
detected by refrigerant pressure sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm

2

 , 398 psi), or below about 134 kPa

(1.4 kg/cm

2

 , 20 psi).

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system increases to an unusual level [more than 3,727 kPa (38 kg/cm

2

, 540 psi)], the release port on the pressure relief valve automatically opens and releases refrigerant into the
atmosphere.
