REFRIGERANT OIL

COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION

If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil according to the procedures described below, and then install the compressor.

1. Measure the amount [X ml (X floz)] of oil within the removed compressor.

2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil calculated according to the following formula, and then install the new compressor.

New compressor oil amount = 12O ml (4.2 fl.oz) < W/O Rear cooler or Rear A/C >

New compressor oil amount = 14O ml (4.9 fl.oz) < W/ Rear cooler or Rear A/C >


120 ml - X ml = Y ml (4.2 fl.oz - X fl.oz = Y fl.oz) < W/O Rear cooler or Rear A/C >

140 ml - X ml = Y ml (4.9 fl.oz - X fl.oz = Y fl.oz) < W/ Rear cooler or Rear A/C >

NOTE: Y ml (Y fl.oz) indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line, the condenser, the evaporator etc.

NOTE: When replacing the following pans at the same times as the compressor subtract the rated oil amount of the each part from Y ml (Y fl.oz) and discharge from the new compressor.

Quantity:

Evaporator: 60 ml (2.0 fl.oz)
Condenser: 15 ml (0.5 fl.oz)
Suction hose: 10 ml (0.3 fl.oz)
Receiver: 10 ml (0.3 fl.oz)
