A/C System - Manual

A/C System:






A/C SYSTEM
The A/C refrigerant system is a clutch cycling orifice tube type. The system components are:
- A/C compressor
- A/C clutch
- A/C condenser core
- A/C evaporator core
- suction accumulator/drier
- connecting refrigerant lines

The refrigeration system operation is controlled by the following:
- A/C evaporator core orifice
- A/C cycling switch
- A/C pressure cut-off switch


Refrigerant System Components:






The refrigerant system incorporates an A/C compressor controlled by an A/C cycling switch. The A/C cycling switch senses pressure in the suction accumulator/drier to control operation of the A/C compressor.

An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is installed in the A/C manifold and tube to protect the compressor against excessively high refrigerant pressures. An A/C evaporator core orifice is installed to the condenser to evaporator tube to meter the liquid refrigerant into the A/C evaporator core.
