Air conditioning unit, description


Air cooling and heating type

Figure 1
Structure, air conditioning system

1 Foot 4 Indoor air


2 Defrost 5 Face
3 Outdoor air

The advanced integrated air conditioning system, with the heating and the cooling system installed in a single unit is
designed to provide a comfortable indoor environment in all seasons.
The integrated system is ergonomically designed for the most efficient air flow distribution. The easy to use control panel
provides a selection of cooling/heating and indoor/outdoor air through 8 levels and 4 fan speeds.
According to the indoor and outdoor air condition, indoor or outdoor air circulation can be selected. All fresh air is drawn
through the air filter installed between the duct and the cab vent.
Air cooling type
The air cooling type is used only for cooling. If heating is required, use the integrated system with heating and cooling
systems.
Air conditioning (AC), basic principles
The AC unit conducts heat away from the cab air to the surrounding atmosphere. At the same time as the temperature is
lowered, the air is also dehumidified as the moisture in the air condenses on the cold fins while it passes through the
evaporator.
In order to conduct heat away from the cab air, a medium with a lower temperature than the air is required, since heat
always moves from a warmer object to a colder one.
If water is heated to 100 °C (212 °F), it begins to boil since the water has reached its limit for storing heat. If you continue to
heat the water, it must release an amount of heat equal to the heat that is added. This is accomplished by boiling which
means that some of the water is converted to steam. The steam carries excess heat with it as it leaves the water.
However, the boiling point of water is too high to be used in an AC unit. A liquid that is converted into gas at a considerably
lower temperature is required. This liquid, so called refrigerant, must also fulfill other requirements in addition to converting
to a gas at a low temperature. Refrigerant R134a fulfills these requirements.

NOTICE
Use only refrigerant (R134a). Do not use any other refrigerant. Use the correct refrigerant pressure measuring gauge
set. Do not use any other refrigerant pressure gauges.

R134a has a constant pressure-temperature ratio. This means that when the temperature is increased or decreased, the
pressure also either increases or decreases. Likewise, if the pressure is increased or decreased, then the temperature is either
increased or decreased. At normal atmospheric pressure, R134a boils at 26 °C (79 °F). Somewhat simplified, the AC unit can
be said to consist of two heat exchangers, one (evaporator) being located in the cab and the other (condenser) located next
to the hydraulic oil cooler radiator or separately. Both heat exchangers are connected with hoses to a system. The system is
charged with refrigerant, R134a, which is pumped through the system by the compressor.
The cab fan circulates the cab air through the evaporator where the heat from the air is transferred to the refrigerant. The
compressor pumps refrigerant to the condenser, where the heat is dissipated to the outdoor air which is blown through the
condenser by the engine radiator fan or a separate fan.

Components of the air conditioning unit


The air conditioning unit components, with their hose connections, make up a closed system where the refrigerant is
circulated by a compressor. The cooling process operates continuously, with the refrigerant alternating between gaseous
and liquid states, depending on the temperature and the pressure changes.

7 Incar temperature sensor 14 Engine 21 Service valve

The air conditioning unit is of the compressor type, that is, the refrigerant is circulated by a compressor.
The air conditioning unit consists of the following main components:

1. Air conditioning unit


Air conditioning unit consists of a evaporator, a heater core, an expansion valve, a blower motor, actuators, relays
and sensors.
2. Blower motor
The blower motor circulates the air in the cab where indoor and outdoor air is transferred to the cab. Outlet air flow
regulated by the motor speed.
3. Relay
The relay is located outside the air conditioning unit and is driven the blower motor and electromagnetic clutch.
4. Water temperature sensor
The water temperature sensor is located in the heater core and is activated by sensing the temperature, of the
coolant flowing into the heater core.
When the coolant temperature is lower than 25 °C (77 °F), the blower motor does not operate for 150 seconds.
5. Duct temperature sensor
The duct temperature sensor is installed in the evaporator core at intervals of 5 mm.
NOTE!
If the sensor is out of order, the air conditioning switch turns off the compressor clutch.

6. Thermostatic expansion valve


Controls the quantity of refrigerant supplied to the evaporator. The valve is directly connected to the inlet pipe on
the evaporator.
7. Incar temperature sensor
The incar temperature sensor is installed at the right sides the driver's seat.
8. Ambient temperature sensor
The ambient temperature sensor is located in the tool box. When the ambient temperature is lower than 1 °C (34 °
F), the compressor clutch is shut-off and when the ambient temperature is higher than 25 °C (77 °F), the
compressor clutch is energized.
9. Evaporator
Transfers the heat, from the cab air and the outdoor air supplied to the cab, to the refrigerant. The evaporator is
located in the air conditioning unit in front of or in parallel with the heater core, and consists of a coiled pipe with
fins for heat absorption. To prevent ice formation in the evaporator, there is a switch which interrupts the power
supply to the compressor's magnetic clutch when the temperature becomes too low. The thermostat closes the
power circuit once again when the temperature increases.
10. Air mix door driver (actuator)
The air mix door (actuator) is located at the air conditioning unit and regulates the opening/closing angle of the
mix door according to the system conditions (ambient, indoor and setting temperature).
11. Heater core
Always hot coolant flows through the heater core and gives off heat before returning to the engine.
12. Battery
The battery supplies the power to the air conditioning system.
13. Air conditioning control switch
The air conditioning switch is located at the driver's seat left side and maintains the proper indoor temperature by
operating the air conditioning unit.
14. Engine
The air compressor is installed to the engine. The engine also provides hot coolant to the heater core. The hydraulic
oil cooler fan draws air through the condenser core which cools the refrigerant.
15. Condenser
Transfers heat to the outdoor air. Located next to the hydraulic oil cooler radiator, using the radiator fan for air
flow.
16. Dual switch
A dual switch is fitted to the high pressure line of receiver drier top side. Its function is to protect the system by
interrupting the power to the compressor's magnetic clutch if the pressure should become too high or too low.
17. Receiver drier
Contains a filter and a desiccant which absorbs any moisture in the system. Also serves as a reservoir for the
refrigerant and is located on the front side of condenser.
18. Compressor
Circulates the refrigerant in the system. Located beside the engine and is driven by V belt from the engine
crankshaft pulley. An electromagnetic clutch on the compressor pulley connects or disconnects the compressor
drive.
19. Electromagnetic clutch
An electromagnetic clutch on the compressor pulley connects or disconnects the compressor drive.
20. Relief valve
The relief valve is located in the rear end plate of the compressor. Its function is to prevent damage in case of
excessive pressure if the high pressure monitor is not functioning. The safety valve opens at 3.5-4.1 MPa (35-41 bar,
508-595 psi) and closes when the pressure has dropped to approx. 2.5 MPa (25 bar, 363 psi). Refrigerant escapes
during the time that the valve is open.
21. Service valve
The service valve is installed into the hose, which is mounted to the compressor. This valve provides a way to check
the pressure and supply refrigerant.

EXC, EW180B [GB]

Expansion valve, description


 The expansion valve regulates refrigerant flow from the receiver drier to the evaporator.
 As the high temperature/high pressure liquid passes through the valve it is restricted and sprayed into the
evaporator side where it changes state and becomes a gas.
 The rapid expansion of the refrigerant can cause moisture to freeze in the valve outlet port.

The expansion valve is used to regulate the amount of refrigerant flowing into the evaporator. At this point in this system,
the high pressure/high temperature liquid is sprayed into the evaporator where it changes state and becomes a gas.
When the refrigerant temperature flowing from C to D is high, diaphragm (1) pushes down stem (14) due to high
temperature transmit to diaphragm (1) via stem (14). Ball (6) is moved downward by stem (14) and the refrigerant of port A
flows through orifice (E) to port B.

Evaporator, description
 The refrigerant passing through the expansion valve is converted to a low pressure liquid as it is sprayed into the
evaporator.
 The mist flowing through the core tubing evaporates as it absorbs heat from the indoor/outdoor air passing over
the evaporator fins. This process cools and dehumidifies the air, any moisture contained in the air is converted to
water which collects on the fins and is then drained from the evaporator housing.

Profile:
EXC, EW180B [GB]

Compressor, description
The compressor is the main working part of the air conditioning unit. It functions as a pump in the system when it draws
vaporized refrigerant from the evaporator and feeds it to the condenser. The compressor has seven cylinders with the
pistons located in a circular array. The pistons work horizontally towards one end of the compressor housing. The piston
motion is transmitted from the drive shaft via a rotating cam, a piston rod plate and piston rods. The pistons rods are
journalled in the pistons and have ball bearings in the piston rod plate. The pistons are made of aluminium and have two
teflon piston rings.
The compressor housing and valve housing are made of aluminium and the pistons operate directly in the compressor
housing.

The valve plate is made of steel and has drilled channels for the outlet and inlet valves. The valves are of the reed type and
are bolted to the plate. The reed valves are controlled by the suction and pressure action of the pistons.
There is a drive shaft seal in the front end plate. The seal consists of an o-ring, a lip seal and a graphite seal. There is an oil

Profile:
EXC, EW180B [GB]

Condenser, description
 The condenser mounted in front of the oil cooler, consists of tubes, refrigerant passing through, and cooling fins,
radiating heat rapidly.
 The condenser will condense the refrigerant gas which is under high pressure, high temperature condition into a
high pressure liquid, by cooling it with the air flow from the oil cooler fan.
 Insufficient cooling of the condenser retards the conversion of the high pressure gas into a high pressure liquid, this
causes the circuit pressure to rise which increases the system load and reduces the cooling capacity.
 Therefore, it is very important that the airflow is not obstructed and there is no foreign material on the condenser
fins.

Drying filter, description 870 Service Information 2014/5/7 0
Profile:
EXC, EW180B [GB]

Drying filter, description


Receiver drier

 The drier installed between the condenser outlet and evaporator inlet, consists of the body, desiccant, strainer,
filter, sight glass, safety plug and pressure switch.
 The receiver/drier is a reservoir to store excess liquid refrigerant in the system. Excess refrigerant is required for two
reasons: Outdoor air temperature and humidity have an effect on the minimum quantity of refrigerant required in
the system for the air conditioning to operate at maximum efficiency. The higher the temperature and humidity, the
more refrigerant required in the system. More refrigerant is required due to the expansion valve opening farther
allowing more refrigerant into the low pressure side of the system.
 The strainer and filter remove particles caused by component failure, or corrosion due to acids and moisture in the
system.
 The desiccant is used to absorb moisture from the refrigerant. Moisture combined with refrigerant oil forms a
sludge which prevents adequate lubrication. Moisture combined with refrigerant creates hydrofluoric and
hydrochloric acids which are very corrosive to metal surfaces.
NOTE!
Evacuating the system will not remove the moisture from the desiccant. The receiver drier must be replaced.

 The safety plug is designed to protect the system from excessive pressure and temperature. It will release above
105 °C (221°F) or 3.4 MPa (34 bar, 498 psi).
 A sight glass is installed so the condition of the flow of refrigerant can be checked.

Pressure switch
A pressure monitor is fitted to the high pressure side. Its function is to protect the system by interrupting the power to the
compressor's magnetic clutch if the pressure should become too high or too low.
Safety Valve
The safety valve is located in the rear end plate of the compressor or on the high pressure line. Its function is to prevent
damage in case of excessive pressure if the high pressure monitor is not functioning. The safety valve opens at 3.2-4.1 MPa
(32-41 bar, 464-595 psi) and closes when the pressure has dropped to approx. 2.5 MPa (25 bar, 363 psi). Refrigerant escapes
during the time that the valve is open.

2. Vacuum pump
3. Filler hose
4. Refrigerant service canisters

Refrigerant draining

 To drain the refrigerant, connect the gauge set with the valves closed to the compressor lines and the center filler
hose to the service canisters.
 Open the valve at the service canister, then open the manifold valve for the low pressure side, and if the high
pressure side gauge reads below 0.3 MPa (3 bar, 43.5 psi), open the high pressure side valve to drain both circuits
simultaneously.
 When the manifold gauges read 0 MPa pressure, close both manifold valves and the service canister valve.

Evacuating

 Connect the center filler hose to the vacuum pump.


 Open both high/low manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.
 Evacuate the system until the low pressure side reads 710 mmHg vacuum, then close both manifold valves and stop
the vacuum pump.
 If the vacuum decreases more than 25 mmHg in 5 minutes, there is a leak in the system. Repair the leak and re-
evacuate the system.
 If there is no change in the vacuum reading, restart the vacuum pump and continue evacuating until the gauge
registers 760 mmHg.
 Close both the high/low manifold valves and stop the vacuum pump.

Refrigerant filling

 After removing the vacuum pump, connect the center filler hose to the service canister.
 First open the high pressure side valve, and the refrigerant will automatically fill to the pipes.
 If the filling rate is slow, close the high pressure side valve and leave for 5 ~ 10 minutes, and check for possible gas
leakage. After repairs continue the recharging cycle.
 Add refrigerant until the system is charged with the correct amount and close the manifold high pressure valve.
 Start the engine, and idle at 1000 ~ 1500 rpm.

WARNING
Do not open the high pressure side valve during the air conditioner running. At this time, reverse flow phenomenon
of refrigerant may occur.

 Open the low pressure side valve to fully fill the refrigerant system.
 If the refrigerant is fully filled, close the low pressure side valve.
 Observe the refrigerant flow in the sight glass, check the pressure and inspect for leakage.
 Stop the engine and remove the gauge set from the compressor.
 Install with the filler valve cap.

Diesel coolant heater (5kw), description


The diesel coolant heater is used for heating the engine coolant by a fuel combustion unit while the engine is stopped. It
consists of the fuel pump, the water pump, the timer and the heating unit. The heating unit has the control unit, the electric
motor, the glow plugs, the fuses and the sensors in it.
The heated coolant is circulated through the engine block ⇒ the diesel coolant heater ⇒ the air conditioner heating core ⇒
the engine block.
The diesel coolant heater facilitates the engine start and heating the cab in severe cold weather.

Diesel coolant heater operation


Switching on
The pilot in the operating element (timer module, switch, etc.) comes on when the diesel heater is switched on. The water
pump starts up, and after a defined pre-rinsing and pre-glow program has been completed the combustion air blower, glow
plug and metering pump come on. Once a flame has been detected and the combustion process has stabilized, a time
control switches the glow plug off.
Heating mode
Depending on heater demand, the diesel coolant heater alternates between "HIGH" and "LOW" settings. The temperature
thresholds are permanently programmed in the electronic control unit. If the heat demand in the "LOW" setting is so low
that the cooling water reaches a temperature of 85 °C (185 °F), the heater switches to the "OFF" setting, then continues to
run for about 130 seconds. The pilot lamp is also lit while the heater is in the "OFF" setting, and the water pump continues to
run until the heater is restarted.
Switching off
When the heater is switched off, the pilot light goes out and fuel feed is shut off. Also the glow plug is switched on for 20
seconds. The combustion air blower and the water pump run on after the heater is switched off for 120 seconds and are
then switched off automatically.
Diagnosis
If the control unit detects a fault at start-up of the diesel heater or while the diesel coolant heater is in operation, it is
indicated on the timer module display within 15 seconds in the form of a fault code (F + 2 digit number).
Safety devices
The flame is monitored by the flame sensor and the maximum permissible temperature by the overheat sensor. Both
influence the control unit, when shuts down the diesel coolant heater in the event of faults.

 If the diesel coolant heater does not ignite within 90 seconds after the start of fuel feed, start-up is repeated. If the
diesel coolant heater does not ignite repeatedly within 90 seconds after the start of fuel feed, a fault shutdown
takes place.
 If the flame goes out by itself while the heater is in operation, a restart is initially carried out. If the diesel coolant
heater does not ignite within 90 seconds after the start of fuel feed, or if it ignites but goes out again, a fault
shutdown takes place. The fault shutdown can be cancelled by briefly switching the heater off and on again.
 In the event of overheat (e. g. shortage of water, poorly ventilated coolant circulation system), the overheat sensor
is tripped, fuel feed is shut off, then a fault shutdown is activated. Once the cause of the overheat has been
eliminated, the diesel coolant heater can be restarted by switching it off and on again (prerequisite: the diesel
coolant heater has cooled down sufficiently).
 If the voltage drops below approximately 10 Volts or 20 Volts or rises above 15 Volts or 30 Volts, a delayed fault
shutdown is activated.
 If the glow plug is defective or an electrical lead running to the metering unit is broken, the diesel coolant heater
does not start.
 The blow motor speed is monitored continuously. If the blower motor does not start or becomes blocked, a fault
shutdown is activated.

NOTE!

 The diesel coolant heater must not be operated in garage.


 When performing electric welding work on the vehicle, disconnect the plus terminal of the battery and connect to
GND in order to protect the control unit.
 Also switched on the diesel coolant heater briefly for approximately 10 seconds once a month outside the heating
period in order to prevent the water pump and burner motor seizing up.
 Before switching on or pre-programming the heating mode, move the heating lever of the vehicle to the
"WARM" (maximum) setting and the blower to the "slow setting" (low power consumption).
