Dual Pressure Switch
The dual pressure switch is installed on the upper
part the receiver/driver, to detect excessively high
pressure (high pressure switch) and prevent
compressor seizure due to the refrigerant leaking
(low pressure switch), switching the compressor
“ON” or “OFF” as required.
The pressure switch connector is waterproof type.
R-134a refrigerant pressure characteristics differ
from those of R-12. Thus, the dual pressure switch
operation for R-134a systems has been changed
from R-12.

AIR CONDITIONING 1B-7
Evaporator
The evaporator cools and dehumidifies the air before
the air enters the vehicle. High-pressure liquid
refrigerant flows through the expansion valve into the
low-pressure area of the evaporator. The heat in the
air passing through the evaporator core is lost to the
cooler surface of the core, thereby cooling the air.
As heat is lost between the air and the evaporator
core surface, moisture in the vehicle condenses on
the outside surface of the evaporator core and is
drained off as water.
When the evaporator malfunctions, the trouble will
show up as inadequate supply of cool air. The
causes is typically a partially plugged core due to
dirt, or a malfunctioning blower motor.
The evaporator core with a laminate louver fin is a
single-sided tank type where only one tank is
provided under the core.
