Precautions For Refrigerant System Service

INFOID:0000000010999965

GENERAL REFRIGERANT PRECAUTION

WARNING:

• Never breathe A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and

throat. Remove HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) from the A/C system, using certified service equipment meet-
ing requirements of SAE J-2843 [HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) Recovery/Recycling/Recharging Equipment
for Flammable Refrigerants for Mobile Air Conditioning Systems]. Ventilate work area before resum-
ing service if accidental system discharge occurs. Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

• Never release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling recharging equipment to cap-

ture the refrigerant each time an air conditioning system is discharged.

• Wear always eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air

conditioning system.

• Never store or heat refrigerant containers above 52

°

C (126

°

F).

• Never heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; Place the bottom of the container in a warm

pail of water if container warming is required.

• Never intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant displaces oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suffo-

cation.

• Never pressure test or leakage test HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) service equipment and/or vehicle air con-

ditioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFO-1234yf (R-
1234yf) have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may
cause injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from
refrigerant manufacturers.

WORKING WITH HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)

CAUTION:

• CFC-12 (R-12) or HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) refrigerant are not com-

patible. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if the refrigerants are mixed, refer to “CONTAMI-
NATED REFRIGERANT” below. To determine the purity of HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) in the vehicle and
recovery tank, use Refrigerant recovery/recycling recharging equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.

• Use only specified lubricant for the HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) A/C system and HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf)

components. Compressor malfunction is likely to occur if lubricant other than that specified is used.

• The specified HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The

following handling precautions must be observed:

- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when

removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.

- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before connecting the components when installing refrig-

erant components to a vehicle. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of moisture into system.

- Use only the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Reseal immediately containers of lubricant.

Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and should not be used without proper sealing.

- Never allow lubricant (ND-OIL 12) to come in contact with styrene foam parts. Damage may result.

CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT

Take appropriate steps shown below if a refrigerant other than pure HFO-1234yf (R-1234yf) is identi-
fied in a vehicle:
• Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into

the atmosphere.

• Explain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage service equipment and refrigerant sup-

ply.

• Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may

have occurred.

• In case of repairing, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and containers. Never

recover contaminated refrigerant into the existing service equipment. Contact a local refrigerant prod-
uct retailer for available service if the facility does not have dedicated recovery equipment. This refrigerant
must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In addition, replacement of all
refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.

• The air conditioner warranty is void if the vehicle is within the warranty period. Please contact Nissan Cus-

tomer Affairs for further assistance.

REFRIGERANT CONNECTION

A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to all refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to high-pressure pipe 1

WARNING:

Check that all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loosen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.

CAUTION:

Observe the following when replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed. Failure

to do so will cause lubricant to enter the low-pressure chamber.

• Use always a torque wrench and a back-up wrench when connecting tubes.
• Plug immediately all openings to prevent entry of dust and moisture after disconnecting tubes.
• Connect the pipes at the final stage of the operation when installing an air conditioner in the vehicle.

Never remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for connection.

• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal

caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.

• Remove thoroughly moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
• Replace always used O-rings.
• Apply lubricant to circle of the O-rings shown in illustration when connecting tube. Be careful not to

apply lubricant to threaded portion.

• O-ring must be closely attached to the groove portion of tube.
• Never damage O-ring and tube when replacing the O-ring.
• Connect tube until a click can be heard. Then tighten the nut or bolt by hand. Check that the O-ring is

installed to tube correctly.

[R9M (EXCEPT FOR RUSSIA)]

PRECAUTIONS

• Perform leakage test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections after connecting line.

Disconnect that line and replace the O-ring when the refrigerant leaking point is found. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.

COMPRESSOR

CAUTION:

• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
• Store it in the same way at it is when mounted on the car when the compressor is removed.
• Follow “Maintenance of Lubricant Quantity in Compressor” exactly when replacing or repairing

compressor. Refer to 

HA-22, "Description"

.

• Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. Wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth

moistened with thinner if the surface is contaminated with lubricant.

• Turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in both directions after compressor service

operation. This distributes equally lubricant inside the compressor. Let the engine idle and operate
the compressor for one hour after the compressor is installed.

• Apply voltage to the new one and check for normal operation after replacing the compressor magnet

clutch.
