COMPRESSOR(for 5L-E) INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL


    1. When replacing the compressor with a new one, gradually release the refrigerant gas from the service valve and drain the following amount of oil from the new compressor before installation.

      Standard
      (The amount of oil inside a new cooler compressor: 180 to 195 cc (6.1 to 6.6 fl. oz.)) - (The amount of oil remaining in the removed cooler compressor) = (The amount of oil to be removed when replacing the compressor)

      Note


      • When checking the compressor oil level, follow the A/C system precautions.

      • Since compressor oil remains in the pipes of the vehicle, if a new compressor is installed without removing some oil from the compressor, the oil amount becomes excessive. Excessive oil prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigeration system failure.

      • If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor is too small, check for oil leakage.

      • Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 for compressor oil.

  2. INSTALL COOLER COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY

    A01XIO0E02

    1. Temporarily install the cooler compressor with the 2 bolts.

    2. Temporarily install the idle pulley with the 4 bolts.

    3. Tighten the 6 bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      for bolt A
      45 N*m  { 459 kgf*cm, 33 ft.*lbf }
      except bolt A
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

    4. Connect the connector.

  3. CONNECT NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT SUCTION HOSE


    1. Remove the vinyl tape attached to the hose.

    2. Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the compressor.

      Compressor oil
      ND-OIL 8 or equivalent

    3. Install the O-ring to the suction hose.

    4. Connect the suction hose to the compressor with the bolt.

      Torque:
      9.8 N*m  { 100 kgf*cm, 87 in.*lbf }

  4. CONNECT NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT DISCHARGE HOSE


    1. Remove the vinyl tape attached to the hose.

    2. Sufficiently apply compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the compressor.

      Compressor oil
      ND-OIL 8 or equivalent

    3. Install the O-ring to the discharge hose.

    4. Connect the discharge hose to the compressor with the bolt.

      Torque:
      9.8 N*m  { 100 kgf*cm, 87 in.*lbf }
