PROCEDURE
INSPECT COMPRESSOR OIL
When replacing the compressor assembly with pulley with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas (helium) from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil before installation.
Note
If a new compressor assembly with pulley is installed without removing the same amount of compressor oil as is remaining in the pipes, the amount of compressor oil will be excessive. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and will cause a refrigeration failure.
A certain amount of compressor oil remains in the compressor assembly with pulley during circulation and the compressor may be damaged if the amount of compressor oil is more/less than this amount. Therefore, make sure to adjust the amount of compressor oil correctly.
If the amount of compressor oil remaining in the removed compressor assembly with pulley is too low, check for compressor oil leakage.
Do not race the engine before replacing the compressor assembly with pulley.
Make sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil.
Remove the drain bolt (seal washer) from the removed compressor assembly with pulley.
| *a | Oil port |
| *b | Turn clockwise |
Drain the compressor oil from the oil port of the removed compressor assembly with pulley as shown in the illustration.
Note
Make sure to drain the compressor oil from the oil port.
Remove the drain bolt (seal washer) from the new compressor assembly with pulley.
Tech Tips
The drain bolt (seal washer) can be reused.
| *a | Oil port |
| *b | Turn clockwise |
Drain the following amount of compressor oil from the oil port of the new compressor assembly with pulley as shown in the illustration.
| Standard |
|---|
| (The amount of oil in a new compressor assembly with pulley: 70 cc (2.37 fl.oz.)) - (The amount of oil in the removed compressor assembly with pulley) = The amount of oil to be removed from the new compressor assembly with pulley. |
Note
Make sure to drain the compressor oil from the oil port.
Make sure to add the compressor oil from the oil port, not from the discharge or intake port.
If a tool is used to add compressor oil to the new compressor assembly with pulley, make sure that it is free of foreign matter.
If the amount of compressor oil remaining in the removed compressor assembly with pulley cannot be estimated because the compressor was damaged and oil was discharged due to a frontal collision, etc., install the new compressor assembly with pulley without removing any oil. If the condenser with receiver assembly is also replaced, do not add the specified amount of oil for condenser with receiver assembly replacement (40 cc (1.35 fl.oz.)).
Install the drain bolt (seal washer) to the new compressor assembly with pulley.
Note
Make sure that there is no damage or foreign matter on the seal washer edge.
