Repair Manual MAN-000XX. Scorpio Vix ‘August 2009/Rev 1 Description - The Heater, Ventilation and Air conditioning combines air conditioning, heating and ventilating functions. The system comprises of: Y Blower & Air Inlet system Heater core, and Air distribution assembly. Y Air Conditioning system. Heater system The heater system is controlled water flow system. A water valve controls the quantity of water entering the heater core. Air conditioning System The system uses non-CFC refrigerant R134A. ign prossure Expansion alo Evapeeator High pressule Condaneet The refrigerant at low pressure and temperature enters the compressor where it is compressed and its pressure and temperature increase. The refrigerant after leaving compressor enters condenser and here it is condensed into high-pressure liquid and is collected in receiver drier. From the receiver drier it passes through expansion valve where it is throttled down to a low temperature and pressure. After finding its way through expansion valve it finally passes into evaporator coil where it extracts heat seit ne pron art dt at tt © 209 Main Main Menu | Index | & | & | 4 | D | PM Search | & Print | exitRepair Manual MAN-000XX. Scorpio Vix ‘August 2009/Rev 1 from surrounding. The refrigerant, which was in low-pressure liquid state, converts to low-pressure vapour. The low-pressure vapour then again enters the compressor. The incoming air (in fresh mode or recycle mode) passes through a particle filter & then gets cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator. The evaporator is in operation all the times unless the AC switch is kept in off condition. To maintain minimum evaporator temperature a fixed thermostat-setting switch controls the compressor clutch. This switch which is called Anti freeze switch has a probe so that it touches the coldest part of the evaporator is used to avoid formation of ice. (If ice formation is allowed then the ice formed prevents exchange of heat thus reducing the cooling and forcing the compressor to work continuously/ longer period leading to ow cooling as well as system failure.) The evaporator always cools the incoming air (recirculated or fresh) to an amount set by the fixed thermostat value. The cooled air later goes through the heater coil, Thus the final air temperature is dependent on the amount of hot water passing through the heater. For example when the control panel thermostat is set to the coldest value then no quantity of hot water goes through the heater and the final outcome is only the cold air. As the control panel’s knob is moved towards the hotter the mixing start i.e. the quantity of hot water going through the heater starts increasing proportionately. It should be borne in mind that when the engine is cold the temperature of incoming water is low, hence to get a desired temperature the knob will have to be set any given position. However as the engine warms up the water coming to the heater also gets warmer, thus the final out coming air temperature will raise. As a result after the engine warms up the knob in the panel will have to be readjusted to get the same out coming air temperature. Trinary Pressure switch: It is mounted on Receiver drier. High-Low Pressure operation:. If the system pressure becomes low then it switches off the compressor. Thus in the case of refrigerant loss due to any system leak the compressor failure is avoided. Once the pressure increases above 32 bar then the compressor is shut off to avoid any system failure. If the system pressure falls due to any leaks then the compressor is switched off. Medium pressure operation: When the pressure in the system goes above 17 bars then it switches on the condenser fan. As the pressure reduces below 14 bar the condenser fan is switched off. seit ne pron art dt at tt © 209 Main Main Menu | Index | & | & | q | DP | PR Search | & Print | exit
