Constructionally the same as the radiator. Installed at the frontmast of the ‘car for increased heat radiation, and cooled compulsorily by the cooling fen.

EVAPORATOR THERMISTER When the eveporative temperature of a refige: rant draps ta 1°C (38°F) or bolow, the vapors tor fins get stuck with frost or ice, reducing the airflow, lowering the cooling capecity.

NOTE: Remove plugs from compressor carefully toallow refrigerant t0 escape slowly. This is necessary because compressor is shipped out from factory With a slight charge of refrigerant 10 prevent its seals from corroding. 8) When handling refrigerant-12, you should always wear safety goggles and also use care that it wll not gat on your skin. 9) Retrigerent-12 can should be kept at about 40°C (100°) by putting it in hot water. INSTALLATION When installing ar conditioner, refer to instruc tion manual which is packed with al-con parts, EVACUATION AND CHARGING EVACUATING SYSTEM 1) Whenever opened (exposed to atmospheric air, air conditioning system must be evacuated by using @ vacuum pump.

Increase in the gauge reading suagests existen- ce of leakage. In this case, repair the system before continuing its evacuation If the gauge shows a stable reading (suggesting no leakage), continue evacuation. 6) Evacuation should be carried out for 3 total of atleast 15 minutes. 7) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge indicates a vacuum less than 760 mmHg, and then elose both valves. £8) Stop vacuum pump.
