80 APPENDIX OUTLINE OF REFRIGERATION CYCLE

OUTLINE OF REFRIGERATION CYCLE


Regeneration cycles are composed of the following 4 processes. Refrigerant circulates around the system re-
peatedly changing its phase from liquid → gas → liquid.
Compression (Compressor)
• The compressor sucks in the refrigerant which is evaporated in the evaporator and compresses the refriger-
ant until it can be easily liquefied at the ambient temperature.
• The gas refrigerant sucked in the compressor cylinder is compressed to make the pressure higher. When
the refrigerant is cooled at the ambient temperature, it can be easily liquefied.
Condensation (Condenser)
• The condenser cools and liquefies the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant sent from the
compressor at the ambient temperature.
• The heat radiation from the condenser to the atmosphere is called the condensation heat.
• The amount of condensation heat is the sum total of the heat absorbed by the evaporator from the air in the
cab and the quantity of the work applied (the value converted into a heat quantity) by compression of the
compressor.
• The refrigerant liquefied in the condenser is sent to the receiver and dewatered.
• In the condensation process, gas refrigerant and liquid refrigerant are mixed.
• The temperature (condensation temperature) and the pressure (condensation pressure) at which the gas-
eous refrigerant is liquefied are proportional to each other.
Reference: The pressure varies depending on the condensation temperature of the refrigerant.
Expansion (Expansion valve)
• The expansion valve reduces the liquid refrigerant pressure to a level where liquid refrigerant can be easily
evaporated by the throttle action (*1).
• The action of reducing the pressure of the liquid refrigerant to a state where it easily evaporates before
sending it to the evaporator is called expansion.
• The expansion valve used for expansion reduces the refrigerant pressure and controls the refrigerant flow
simultaneously.
• The quantity of the liquid refrigerant that can be evaporated in the evaporator depends on the amount of
heat (refrigeration load) to be removed under the specific evaporation temperature (evaporation pressure).
• The expansion valve controls the refrigerant supply rate to prevent too much or too little supply of the liquid
refrigerant.
(*1) Throttle action
• If there is a narrow section in the passage through which liquid is flowing at a constant rate, a resistance to
the flow is generated.
When the liquid passes through a narrow section, cross-sectional area suddenly increases. The liquid ex-
pansion causes pressure and temperature to decrease.
• No heat is transferred between inside and outside by the throttle action.
Evaporation (Evaporator)
• The evaporator evaporates the liquid refrigerant (superheated vapor).
• The refrigerant evaporates, while absorbing an amount of heat necessary for evaporation (evaporation
heat) from the air around the cooling fins (air in the cab).
• The cooled air is sent into the cab by the blower fan, and it decreases the temperature in the cab.
• In the evaporator, the misty refrigerant sent from the expansion valve and the evaporated gas refrigerant
are mixed together.
• The temperature (evaporation temperature) and the pressure (evaporation pressure) at which the liquid re-
frigerant is evaporated are proportional to each other.

D155AXI-8 80-9
OUTLINE OF REFRIGERATION CYCLE 80 APPENDIX

• To evaporate the liquid refrigerant at lower temperature, the pressure in the evaporator must be kept as low
as possible. For this purpose, the compressor sucks in the evaporated refrigerant.
Relation between refrigerant and cooling trouble
• While repeating the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant circulates in the refrigeration circuit and dissipates
the heat in the cab to the outside of the cab.
• If there is an insufficient quantity of refrigerant, all of it is evaporated while it is passing through the evapora-
tor. This causes evaporator efficiency to deteriorate, which will result in defective air conditioning.
• If there is excessive refrigerant, not all of it is evaporated and part of it will be sucked into the compressor in
liquid form, which causes the compressor to compress the liquid and may damage the components.
• If water is contained in the refrigerant circuit, it freezes in the small hole of the expansion valve and blocks
the refrigerant flow to cause a cooling trouble.

FUNCTION OF AIR CONDITIONER UNIT


The air conditioner unit consists of evaporator (1) and heater core (2) to heat or cool the air in the operator's
cab.
Temperature control
When the temperature control switch on the machine monitor is operated, the temperature setting data is sent to
the air conditioner controller at the rear of the operator's seat. The air conditioner controller controls air mix ser-
vomotor (5) and changes the angle of air mix door (6) to control the temperature.
Over-cooling (Freezing) prevention
• Evaporator temperature sensor (14) varies the resistance of its resistor corresponding to temperature.
• The air conditioner controller converts the change in resistance of evaporator temperature sensor (14) into
the change in voltage to determine the temperature of evaporator (1).
• The air conditioner controller operates the compressor clutch relay *1 to stop the compressor so that evapo-
rator (1) does not freeze.
*1: For the compressor clutch relay, see “INSTALLATION LOCATIONS OF AIR CONDITIONER PARTS AND
ARRANGEMENT OF CONNECTORS”.
Air flow adjustment
Whenever an air flow control switch is operated on the machine monitor, air flow setting data is sent to the air
conditioner controller. The air conditioner controller controls blower motor (4) by using power transistor (13) in
order to adjust the air flow.
Vent (mode) changeover
The mode data is sent to the air conditioner controller according to the vent switch operation on the machine
monitor. The air conditioner controller controls vent (mode) changeover servomotor (7) to adjust the opening an-
gles of mode changeover doors (8) to (10) and change the vents.
FRESH/RECIRC air changeover
FRESH/RECIRC air changeover setting data is sent to the air conditioner controller according to the operation
of FRESH/RECIRC air changeover switch on the machine monitor. The air conditioner controller controls
FRESH/RECIRC air changeover servomotor (11) to open/close FRESH/RECIRC air changeover door (12).
Automatic mode of air conditioner
• Inside air temperature sensor (15) senses the inside temperature by the change in resistance. The air con-
ditioner controller converts the change in resistance of inside air temperature sensor (15) into change in
voltage and senses the inside temperature by the change in voltage.
• The air conditioner controller checks the voltage of inside air temperature sensor (15) and controls the in-
side temperature to the temperature set by the machine monitor.

D155AXI-8 80-13

• Air conditioner considers the information of the sunlight sensor and outside air temperature sensor for con-
trol of the inside temperature.

COMPONENT PARTS OF AIR CONDITIONER UNIT 80 APPENDIX

FUNCTION OF EVAPORATOR AS AIR CONDITIONER UNIT COMPONENT


• Evaporator (1) is cooled by the low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant gas sent from expansion
valve (3).
• Air sent from Blower fan, blower motor (4) is cooled and dried when it passes through the fins of evaporator
(1).

FUNCTION OF HEATER CORE AS AIR CONDITIONER UNIT COMPONENT


• Heater core (2) is heated with the hot water (engine coolant) sent from the engine.
• Air sent by Blower fan, blower motor (4) is heated when it passes through the fins of heater core (2).

FUNCTION OF EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR AS AIR CONDITIONER


UNIT COMPONENT
Evaporator temperature sensor (14) is installed to evaporator (1) by using the holder, and its resistance varies
with the temperature of evaporator (1). The air conditioner controller grasps the temperature of evaporator (1)
from the voltage change in evaporator temperature sensor (14), and preventing the freeze of evaporator (1).

FUNCTION OF SERVO MOTOR AS AIR CONDITIONER UNIT COMPONENT


The servomotor is used for the air mix (temperature control)
and to switch the vents (modes).
NOTICE
Do not drive the servomotor by supplying power directly
between servomotor terminals (6) and (7) during inspec-
tion.
• When the switch on the machine monitor is operated, the
air conditioner controller supplies 24V power to servomotor
terminal B (6) and servomotor terminal A (7) of the servo-
motor. (The rotation direction changes according to the
supplied polarity.)
• The internal servomotor has a variable resistor, the resistance varies by the rotation of the motor.
Since the FRESH/RECIRC air changeover servomotor has no resistor of this type, it has no self-diagnosis
function.
• The air conditioner controller applies a voltage of 5 V to the variable resistor and determines the motor rota-
tion angle from the potential difference.
• When the door (damper) reaches the position specified by each switch, the air conditioner controller stops
the supply of current to the servomotor, then the corresponding door stops.
• If the potential difference does not reach the voltage set for control of the servomotor, air conditioner con-
troller notifies the machine monitor of the abnormality by a failure code of the air conditioner. On the electri-
cal system abnormality record screen of the machine monitor, “879EMC” or “879FMC” is displayed.
REMARK
FRESH/RECIRC air changeover servo motor does not feature a variable resistance, and therefore, does
not have a self-diagnosis function.

1: Expansion valve 1b: Spring
1a: Needle valve 2: Refrigerant gas
1a-1: Diaphragm 3: Evaporator
1a-2: Thermoprobe
Structure
• Box-type expansion valve (1) consists of needle valve (1a), spring (1b), etc.
• The diaphragm chamber (1a-1) on the outside of diaphragm (1a-1) of needle valve (1a) is filled with refrig-
erant gas (2).

FUNCTION OF EXPANSION VALVE AS AIR CONDITIONER UNIT COMPONENT


• Expansion valve (1) converts the high-pressure and high-temperature liquid refrigerant sent from the receiv-
er drier into low-pressure and low-temperature misty refrigerant by throttle action.
• It controls the refrigerant flow rate by changing the throttle degree according to the temperature in the oper-
ator's cab.
• The temperature of the air flowing out of the vents is controlled by the flow rate of the refrigerant into evapo-
rator (3).

OPERATE EXPANSION VALVE AS AIR CONDITIONER UNIT COMPONENT


1. Thermoprobe (1a-2) senses the temperature of the refrigerant after it passes through evaporator (3).
The temperature of the refrigerant after it passes evaporator (3) is transmitted through thermoprobe (1a-2)
to refrigerant gas (2) in the diaphragm chamber (hatched portion).

D155AXI-8 80-17
COMPONENT PARTS OF AIR CONDITIONER UNIT 80 APPENDIX

2. When refrigerant gas (2) sealed in the diaphragm chamber (hatched portion) receives the temperature
change from thermoprobe (1a-2), its pressure varies, and accordingly force (Fg) to press needle valve (1a)
varies.
3. The position of needle valve (1a) is determined by the balance between the rightward reaction force of
spring (1b) and force (F g) of refrigerant gas (2) to push needle valve (1a) to the left through diaphragm
(1a-1).
4. The position of needle valve (1a) determines the flow rate of the refrigerant from the receiver drier to evapo-
rator (3).
When evaporator (3) outlet temperature is high
1. The pressure of refrigerant gas (2) in the diaphragm chamber (hatched portion) increases and the volume
increases.
2. Force (F g) of refrigerant gas (2) to push needle valve (1a) increases, and needle valve (1a) moves to the
left.
3. Needle valve (1a) opens wider to increase the refrigerant flow rate to evaporator (3), and the cooling per-
formance increases. (State (A) in the above figure)
When evaporator (3) outlet temperature is low
1. The pressure of refrigerant gas (2) in the diaphragm chamber (hatched portion) decreases, and accordingly
the volume decreases.
2. Force (F g) of refrigerant gas (2) to push needle valve (1a) decreases, and needle valve (1a) moves to the
right.
3. Needle valve (1a) opens smaller to decrease the refrigerant flow rate to evaporator (3), and the cooling ca-
pacity decreases. (State (B) in the above figure)

FUNCTION OF TRIPLE PRESSURE SWITCH


The triple pressure switch is installed to the air conditioner
hose under the floor.
Below LA: Abnormally low pressure
Above HA: Abnormally high pressure
LA: 0.20 MPa {2 kg/cm2} 
LB: 0.02 MPa {0.2 kg/cm2} 
HA: 3.14 MPa {32 kg/cm2} 
HB: 0.59 MPa {6 kg/cm2} 

• The triple pressure switch turns "OFF" when it detects abnormally low refrigerant pressure in low-pressure
line or abnormally high refrigerant pressure in high-pressure line.
• When the triple pressure switch turns "OFF", the air conditioner controller turns the compressor clutch relay
"OFF". As a result, the compressor's magnet clutch is released and air conditioner components are protect-
ed.

FUNCTION OF COMPRESSOR

• The compressor circulates the refrigerant and compresses the gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator into
a misty refrigerant at high pressure and high temperature so that it is easily regenerated (liquefied) at the
normal temperature.
• The air conditioner controller operates magnetic clutch (2) inside the compressor, according to the evapora-
tor temperature and refrigerant pressure.
• When magnetic clutch (2) is engaged, the compressor shaft is turned together with pulley (1) by the engine
power, and the compressor is driven.

FUNCTION OF CONDENSER
Condenser cools and liquefies the high-temperature high-pressure misty refrigerant sent from the compressor.
NOTICE
If the cooling fins are crushed or clogged with dirt, etc., the heat exchanged efficiency decreases and
the refrigerant cannot be completely liquefied.
If the heat exchange efficiency decreases, the circuit pressure in the refrigerant cycle increases result-
ing in unnecessary load on the engine and poor cooling effect. Be careful not to crush the fins in han-
dling and daily maintenance of the condenser.

FUNCTION OF RECEIVER DRIER


• The receiver drier temporarily stores the high pressure and high temperature liquid refrigerant from the con-
denser so that it can be supplied to the evaporator corresponding to the need of cooling.
• Even if bubbles are mixed in the refrigerant, depending on the heat radiation condition of the condenser, the
refrigerant can be liquefied perfectly by sending out the accumulated refrigerant from the bottom to the
evaporator.
• The built-in filter and desiccating agent remove foreign material in the circulation circuit and moisture con-
tained in the refrigerant.

EXPLANATION OF PROCEDURE FOR TESTING AND TROUBLE-
SHOOTING OF AIR CONDITIONER 80 APPENDIX

EXPLANATION OF PROCEDURE FOR TESTING AND


TROUBLESHOOTING OF AIR CONDITIONER
The air conditioner is provided with self-diagnosis function in order to test its main components. It can test the
operation of sensors and servomotors.
If a failed portion is identified, each part must be checked.
1. After performing the basic check, narrow the failed portion according to the symptoms of failure of the air
conditioner.
2. Narrow down the sections with the self-diagnosis function. (See “Explanation of inspection of air conditioner
by self-diagnosis function”.)
However, when the air conditioner unit does not operate at all, check if the power supply up to the air condi-
tioner controller is normal. Also, check whether the CAN communication between the machine monitor and
air conditioner controller is normal.
If any part of the air conditioner unit operates, the power supply up to the air conditioner controller and the
CAN communication between the machine monitor and air conditioner controller are normal.
3. After narrowing down the sections, check the related component parts to find out the failed part, and repair
it.

*3: If refrigerant leakage is spotted, compressor oil circulating in the air conditioner circuit definitely leaks from
that point.
In such a case, retighten according to the tightening torque table in “Precautions for disconnecting and connect-
ing air conditioner piping”.
*4: Start the engine, turn the air conditioner switch ON, and check.
Simple check of refrigerant amount through sight glass
Start the engine and turn the air conditioner switch ON, and check after 5 minutes.

S: Condition viewed through sight glass LR: Liquid refrigerant


R: Condition in receiver drier
A: When bubbles are continuously seen, the quantity of refrigerant is insufficient
B: When bubbles are seen intermittently, the quantity of refrigerant is proper
C: When bubbles cannot be seen (i.e., the liquid is clear), the system has too much refrigerant or no refrigerant
The above is a generally known method. However, use it for reference only, since there are exceptions.
Referring to “Troubleshooting by gauge pressure”, judge by the gauge pressure.

FUNCTION OF AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLLER


• Performs CAN communication with the machine monitor and controls the air conditioner unit according to
the switch inputs related to the air conditioner.
• Controls 3 servomotors located inside the air conditioner unit in order to perform temperature control (AIR-
MIX), vent (mode) changeover, and FRESH/RECIRC air changeover.
• Controls ON/OFF condition of the compressor clutch relay (i.e., a switch for activating the compressor).
• Adjust the air flow with the power transistor.
The power transistor has a fuse in it to prevent an overcurrent.
• Evaporator temperature sensor determines the evaporator temperature.
• Turn compressor clutch relay ON/OFF and control the compressor to prevent the evaporator from freezing.
If triple pressure switch detects abnormal pressure (it is turned OFF), compressor clutch relay is turned
OFF and compressor stops.
• Adjust the inside temperature to set temperature and controls air flow according to data of sunlight sensor,
outside air temperature sensor, and inside air temperature sensor in automatic air conditioner mode.
• Self-diagnosis function is installed and it detects abnormality to machine monitor by CAN communication.
Then, failure code [879***] is displayed on electrical system abnormality record screen of machine monitor.

EXPLANATION FOR TESTING AIR CONDITIONER USING SELF-DI-
AGNOSIS FUNCTION 80 APPENDIX

EXPLANATION FOR TESTING AIR CONDITIONER USING


SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
• The air conditioner controller self-checks the refrigerant
pressure by using the inside air temperature sensor, out-
side air temperature sensor, evaporator temperature sen-
sor, temperature control switch, vent selector (mode)
switch, and pressure switch. If abnormally related to the
temperature control, vent (mode) selection, or refrigerant
among them occurs, the machine monitor changes to the
warning screen momentarily, and then continues display-
ing “Air conditioner system state monitor”.
• When the machine monitor fails in communication with the
air conditioner controller, it displays system state monitor
“!”.
• Once abnormality is detected, the abnormality in the self-diagnosis is not reset when the abnormal portion
becomes normal. It is reset when the starting switch to “OFF” position.
• FRESH/RECIRC air changeover servomotor has no self-diagnosis function.
• If the controller detect a failure by self-diagnosis, it displays the failure on “Electrical Sys Abnormality Re-
cord” screen in Service Mode of the machine monitor.

METHOD FOR TESTING (TRIPLE) PRESSURE SWITCH FOR REFRIG-
80 APPENDIX ERANT

TEST (TRIPLE) PRESSURE SWITCH FOR REFRIGERANT


k Park the machine on a level ground, lower the work equipment to the ground in a stable posture, set
the lock lever to LOCK position, and stop the engine.
k Turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF position, and remove the key.
k Since refrigerant is potentially hazardous to health and environment, collect it before replacing the
triple pressure switch.
• Write down the connector numbers and installed positions before disconnecting wiring harnesses and ho-
ses.
• If [879GKX] is displayed by the self-diagnosis (on "Air-conditioning System" screen of "Abnormality Record"
in the machine monitor), test triple pressure switch connector AC05.
To reset the self-diagnosis system (detection of abnormality), turn the starting switch to OFF position.
• The triple pressure switch unit is ON when the refrigerant pressure is normal and OFF when the refrigerant
pressure is abnormal.
When the ambient temperature decreases below 0 °C, the refrigerant pressure decreases, thus the triple
pressure switch may be turned OFF. In this case, the triple pressure switch is normal.

METHOD FOR TESTING (TRIPLE) PRESSURE SWITCH FOR REFRIGER-


ANT
1. Open the battery room cover.
2. Disconnect pressure switch connector AC05.

3. Check that resistance between the switch-side terminals of connector AC05 are shorted (ON). (If not short-
ed (OFF), the pressure switch detects an abnormality in the refrigerant pressure.)
REMARK
If the pressure switch is OFF, attach a pressure gauge to the high-pressure line of the air conditioner com-
pressor and check the refrigerant pressure. If refrigerant pressure is normal, the pressure switch is defec-
tive. See "Connection of service tool" and "Troubleshooting with gauge pressure".

tioner controller is in the following conditions.
• When the evaporator temperature is 3°C or below (by
the evaporator temperature sensor)
• When the pressure switch senses abnormality (pres-
sure switch OFF)
• Check of relay unit
Since no T-adapter is installed, it is actually impossible to check the state of the relay when voltage is
applied to the coil.

Failure No air comes out or air flow is abnormal because of blower motor system failure.
Phenomenon LCDs of machine monitor light up normally on air conditioner operation screen, but no air flows out.
on machine Air flow does not match fan switch setting on air conditioner operation screen.
• This is not included in self-diagnosis function.
• During cooling, if air flow becomes abnormal after a certain time, the evaporator may be

1. Defective compressor clutch relay (kept ON)
2. Coming-off of mounting bolt of evaporator temperature sensor (Replace air conditioner
unit)
3. Defective adjustment of expansion valve (Replace air conditioner unit)
• When air comes out, fuse and motor are normal, and defective wiring harness is unlikely.
• For each connector and power transistor, see “INSTALLATION LOCATIONS OF AIR
CONDITIONER PARTS AND ARRANGEMENT OF CONNECTORS”.
REMARK
Related Since power transistor is at rear of air conditioner unit, it cannot be checked while it is
information mounted on machine or by disconnecting connector [2].

PRECAUTIONS FOR DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING HOSES
AND TUBES IN AIR CONDITIONER PIPINGS 80 APPENDIX

PRECAUTIONS FOR DISCONNECTING AND CONNECT-


ING HOSES AND TUBES IN AIR CONDITIONER PIPINGS
Precautions for disconnection
k When replacing the air conditioner unit, air conditioner compressor, condenser or receiver drier, etc.,
collect the refrigerant (air conditioner gas: R134a) from the air conditioner circuit before disconnect-
ing the air conditioner hoses.
k If refrigerant gas (air conditioner gas: R134a) gets in your eyes, you may lose your sight. And if it
touches your skin, you may suffer from frostbite. Put on protective eyeglasses, gloves and working
clothes with long sleeves while collecting the refrigerant or filling the air conditioner circuit with the
refrigerant.
NOTICE
• Never release the refrigerant (air conditioner gas: R134a) to the atmosphere.
• Ask a qualified person for collecting, adding and filling operations of the refrigerant (air conditioner
gas: R134a).

1: Engine 4: Receiver drier


2: Compressor 5: Air conditioner unit
3: Condenser
• When loosening the air conditioner hose nut after collecting the refrigerant, be sure to use 2 wrenches. Use
one wrench to fix one nut and the other wrench to loosen the other nut.
• When working on the air conditioner piping, take measures to prevent the entry of dirt, dust, water, etc. into
the hoses.

80-80 D155AXI-8
PRECAUTIONS FOR DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING HOSES
80 APPENDIX AND TUBES IN AIR CONDITIONER PIPINGS

Precautions for connection


• When connecting the piping, apply compressor oil (ND-
OIL8) for R134a to its O-rings. (See item 4 of "Handling of
compressor oil")
Do not apply oil to the threaded part of a bolt, nut or union,
however.
REMARK
An O-ring is fitted to every joint of the air conditioner pip-
ing.
• Once an O-ring is used, it is deformed and deteriorated.
Accordingly, do not reuse it. When removing it, use a soft
tool (such as a toothpick) so that the piping will not be
damaged.
• When connecting a pipe, push it into the end and fully finger-tighten the bolt or nut.
• Be sure to use 2 wrenches to tighten each nut. Use one wrench to fix one nut and the other wrench (torque
wrench) to tighten the other nut to the specified torque.

HANDLE COMPRESSOR OIL 80 APPENDIX

HANDLE COMPRESSOR OIL


Management of compressor oil (DENSO: ND-OIL8 for R134a)
The compressor oil does not need to be checked or refilled as frequently as the engine oil. However, if its level
is low or too high, it can cause the following troubles. Accordingly, charge the compressor oil by the specified
quantity, similarly to the refrigerant.
Condition Content
Lack of oil Defective lubrication, Seizure of compressor
Cooling trouble (Excessive oil sticks to each part and decreases heat ex-
Excess of oil
changed efficiency)

Filling of compressor oil


k Refrigerant is potentially hazardous to health and environment. Before disconnecting air conditioner
hoses, collect refrigerant according to “Precautions for connecting and disconnecting hoses and
tubes in air conditioner circuit”.
k If oil for use with CFC-12 (R-12) is used, lubrication trouble will occur and the compressor may be
broken or seized.
Be sure to use oil for R134a (DENSO: ND-OIL8).
k Oil for use with R134a is extremely hygroscopic, and therefore, put the cap the oil container immedi-
ately after use to limit contact with air.
Store the oil container in a dry and well ventilated place.
k Do not allow oil for use with R134a to come into contact with acrylic plastic or polystyrene surfaces
(except a baked finish) as it may dissolve these plastics.
Check in the following cases, and add new oil as necessary.
• The occurrence of leakage of a large quantity of refrigerant
and abrupt discharge.
• The compressor is replaced because of a failure.
(See "Compressor oil level when compressor is replaced".)
• Cycle parts such as the condenser, receiver drier, evapo-
rator unit, etc. are replaced.
• Oil is added after cycle parts are replaced.
Air conditioner component Q'ty to be added
Air conditioner unit, evaporator Approx. 40 cc
Condenser Approx. 40 cc
Receiver drier Approx. 20 cc
Hose (M24 joint to operator's cab) Approx. 20 cc
Hose (compressor to M22 joint) Approx. 15 cc
Hose (compressor to condenser M16) Approx. 10 cc
Hose (condenser to receiver drier) Approx. 10 cc
Hose (operator's cab to receiver drier) Approx. 10 cc

The quantity of compressor oil level when the compressor is replaced


The following is the necessary quantity of oil when the compressor is broken because of seizure, etc. and in
other cases.
• When compressor is broken because of seizure, etc.
Metal chips circulate in the air conditioner circuit and contaminate the compressor oil remarkably.
In such case, clean the air conditioner circuit and replace the compressor and receiver drier.

80-82 D155AXI-8
80 APPENDIX HANDLE COMPRESSOR OIL

Since all of the compressor oil is drained from the air conditioner circuit by cleaning the circuit, install the
new compressor together with the filled oil of the specified quantity (180 cc).
• In other cases
New compressor contains compressor oil of 180 cc in it.
1. Prepare an oil pan to catch the oil, and drain the oil
from the removed compressor.
2. Measure the quantity of the drained oil with a measur-
ing cylinder, and write it down.
3. Drain the oil from the new compressor by the following
quantity.
Quantity to be drained = 180 cc - "Quantity written
down"
Example: If the quantity of the oil drained from the re-
moved compressor is 30 cc, the quantity of the oil to
be drained from the new compressor is 180 cc - 30 cc
= 150 cc.
Applying compressor oil to O-rings
Apply compressor oil (ND-OIL8) for R134a to the O-rings in or-
der to prevent refrigerant leakage when the pipings and hoses
are connected.
