Instructions
When Handling Refrigerant
1. R-134a liquid refrigerant is highly volatile. A drop on the skin of your hand could result in localized frostbite. When
handling the refrigerant, be sure to wear gloves.
2. It is standard practice to wear goggles or glasses to protect your eyes, and gloves to protect your hands. If refrigerant
splashes into your eyes, wash them with clean water immediately.
C:\Users\ej20\Desktop\KI 15\Sorento 2015\Heating,Ventilation And Air Conditioning.mht 2014-06-10
3. The R-134a container is highly pressurized. Never leave it in a hot place, and check if storage temperature is below
52°C (126°F)
4. An electronic leak detector should be used to check the system for refrigerant leakage. Bear in mind that the R-134a,
upon coming into contact with flame, produces phosgene, a highly toxic gas.
5. Use only recommended lubricant for R-134a systems. If lubricants other than the recommended one used, system failure
may occur.
6. PAG lubricant absorbs moisture from the atmosphere at a rapid rate, therefore the following precautions must be
observed:
A. When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, cap the components immediately to prevent entry of moisture.
B. When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the cap until just before connecting the
components.
C. Complete the connection of all refrigerant tubes and hoses without delay to prevent the A/C system from taking on
moisture.
D. Use the recommended lubricant from a sealed container only.
7. If an accidental discharge in the system occurs, ventilate the work area before resume of service.
cardiagn.com
When Replacing Parts on A/C System
1. Never open or loosen a connection before discharging the system.
2. Seal the open fittings of components with a cap or plug immediately to prevent intrusion of moisture or dust.
3. Do not remove the sealing caps from a replacement component until it is ready to be installed.
4. Before connecting an open fitting, always install a new sealing ring. Coat the fitting and seal with refrigerant oil before
making the connection.
cardiagn.com
3. All lines and components in parts stock should be capped or sealed until they are ready to be used.
4. Never attempt to rebind formed lines to fit. Use the correct line for the installation you are servicing.
5. All tools, including refrigerant dispensing manifold, gauge set manifold and test hoses, should be kept clean and dry.

Refrigerant Recovery
Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R-134a) from the air conditioning system.
• Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
• Be careful when connecting service equipment.
• Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

2. Measure the amount of refrigerant oil removed from the A/C system after the recovery process is completed. Be sure to
install the same amount of new refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before charging.
System Evacuation
Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R-134a) from the air conditioning system.
• Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
• Be careful when connecting service equipment.
• Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before resume of service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
3. If the low-pressure does not reach more than 93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 10 minutes, there is probably a leak
in the system. Partially charge the system, and check for leaks (see Refrigerant Leak Test.)
4. Remove the low pressure valve from the low-pressure service port.

System Charging
Use only service equipment that is U.L-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R-134a) from the air conditioning system.
• Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
• Be careful when connecting service equipment.
• Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.

Description
The compressor is the power unit of the A/C system.
It is located on the side of engine block and driven by a V-belt of the engine.
The compressor changes low pressure and low temperature refrigerant gas into high pressure and high temperature refrigerant
gas.
Variable Swash Plate Compressor
The compressor has a swash plate that rotates to reciprocate pistons, which compress refrigerant.
The variable swash plate compressor controls the swash plate angle to change the refrigerant displacement. It achieves
precise cooling capability control in accordance with vehicle interior and driving conditions.
The internally controlled variable swash plate compressor changes the swash plate angle by a MCV (Mechanical Control
Valve) in accordance with fluctuation of a suction pressure.
The externally controlled variable swash plate compressor changes the swash plate angle by an ECV (Electric Control Valve)
in accordance with an electrical signal from the heater & A/C control unit.
This enables stable temperature control and improved driving sensation.
