The aluminium light construction compressor has 4 cylinders. The cylinders are arranged
in V-shape.
The compressor is driven by a V-belt with autonatical tension via a magnetic clutch, which
regulates engagement or disengagement of the compressor according to the capacity
requirements.
Important:
The chiorine-free refrigerant R134a is used for charging the air conditioner. The traditional
refrigerant R12 is replaced by R134a. Air conditioners already charged with R12 should
not be recharged nor newly charged with R134a. This is also valid for components used
with R12. They should not at all be used in units to be charged with R134a.
Mineral oils used in units with R12 must not be used in units with R134a. In this case
synthetic oils (Ester-oil) are to be used. The application of mineral oils in connection with
R134a would cause a break down of the compressor, as the miscibility of mineral oil and
R134a and, thus the refrigerant circuit, are not ensured.

ID#: KLO7152A Stand: 07/97 Seite: 33. High- and low pressure switch
High- and low pressure switch is situated at the compressor (in the engine compart-ment).
low pressure switch high pressure switch
(@svn0001)
Low pressure switch
If the pressure in the cooling circuit is blow 0,1 bar, the magnetic clutch is cut-off by the
low pressure switch autornatically. If pressure exceeds 2,2 bar, magnetic clutch is
switched on.
High pressure switch
If pressure in the cooling circuit exceeds 25,5 bar, magnetic clutch is switched off by the
high pressure switch. If pressure exceeds 18 bar, magnetic clutch is switched on.
If magnetic clutch is switched off due to high- or low pressure, see “Trouble check list and
repair",
3.1 Pressure control condenser fans
When switching on the a/c unit, the rotational speed of the condenser blowers increases
continuously from 0 to max. 100% by means of starting modulus.
Ifthe pressure in the cooling circuit increases to more than 17bar, the condenser blower
will operate with the maximum speed. If the pressure decreases to less than 12bar, the
rotational speed of the condenser blowers is reduced to 50% by means of a pressure
switch.

condenser
adjustment: 17bar on

Starting modulus are situated in the rear part of the a/c below the service cover.

5.1 Return air grid
Clean the return air grid in the passenger area (in the rear of the vehicle on both sides
behind the service flaps) 2-3 times per travelling season.
5.2 Condenser coil
Clean the condenser twice a year.
Remove the cover of the condenser.
Blow through the condenser coils with compressed air.
Clean the condenser area and the condensed water drainages.
5.3 Sight glass
Sight glass is situated in the rear condenser part below the condenser cover.
(eazwv0003)
5.4 Check refrigerant level
Switch on unit air conditioning.
Sight glass clear: refrigeration level all right
If air bubbles are formed: consult customer service agency.

5.5 Refrigerant receiver
Due to an operational overpressure in the receiver, its manufacture is subject to a special
prescription (pressure tank decree from April 1989). By this decree the pressure tanks
subdivided in test groups: admitted operational overpressure in bar "p", volume in liters
pressure tank contents "p x I". On these conditions the refrigerant receiver is to be
qualified in test group II.
Attention:
§ 10 of the decree for pressure tanks says that a periodical test by an expert (§32) has to.
be executed. Those tests refer to an outside checking of the tanks in operation. The
refrigeration receiver has to be checked for outside damages twice a year (s. our general
conditions for sale and delivery under 8b). Especial attention should be paid to corrosion
and mechanical damages. If it is anyhow damaged it must be changed by reason of
safety.

7. Regulation of damages during the warranty period
According to our general conditions of sale and delivery we replace defective parts.
Labour costs, however, for the exchange of defective parts are not compensated
If damages should occur to your KONVEKTA air conditioner, refrigeration or
deepfreezing unit during the warranty time please proceed as follows:
Please go to an authorized KONVEKTA -customer service station and point out that the
damage in question has to be repaired on warranty.
- Please present your warranty documents -
If the required parts should not be available at the service station they will be supplied
immediately by KONVEKTA.
After termination of the repair works a warranty report has to be made together with the
service station. Please point out that the service station has to send this report together
with the defective parts immediately to us.
Apart from our warranty regulations and without recognition of any legal obligation we are
prepared to take over according to our judgement costs for dismounting and reinstallation
in correspondance with our warranty time table. Assumption therefore is that these works
are made by us or by an authorized KONVEKTA -service station.
We cannot take over the costs if the repair works have been carried through on your
account and if the procedure described above has not been observed.
The dispatch of the replacement parts - free of charge - is made subject to our verification
of the defective parts later on. If this inspection shows that the damages are due to
improper handling we reserve ourselves the right to send you our invoice for the costs that
have arisen.
‘Assumption for the validity of evt. warranty claims is that the complete proof of all
prescribed inspections and service works which have to be registered in the warranty
card,
