COMPRESSOR(for 1NR-FE) INSTALLATION
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
for HFO-1234yf (R1234yf):
Always use ND-OIL 12 as the compressor oil.
The oil used for HFC-134a (R134a) systems (ND-OIL 8) does not work well in HFO-1234yf (R1234yf) systems. If the oil used for HFC-134a (R134a) systems (ND-OIL 8) is used in an HFO-1234yf (R1234yf) system, it will result in degradation of the refrigerant and deterioration of resin parts.
for HFC-134a (R134a):
The recommended compressor oil listed on the compressor assembly and on the engine hood may differ. Make sure to use the compressor oil listed on the engine hood.
If ND-OIL 12 is mixed with the ND-OIL 8 in the system, the performance of the air conditioning system will not be affected.
PROCEDURE
INSPECT COMPRESSOR OIL
When replacing the compressor assembly with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas (helium) from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil before installation.
Standard
(The amount of compressor oil inside a new compressor assembly with pulley: 80 (+15) cc (2.71 (+0.507) fl.oz.)) - (The amount of compressor oil remaining in the removed compressor assembly with pulley) = The amount of compressor oil to be removed when replacing the compressor assembly with pulley
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.
If the amount of compressor oil remaining in the removed compressor assembly with pulley is too low, check for compressor oil leakage.
for HFC-134a(R134a): Make sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil.
for HFO-1234yf(R1234yf): Make sure to use ND-OIL 12 or equivalent compressor oil.
Remove the suction seal cap.
-
Position the suction port downward and slightly shake the compressor to drain the oil. (*1)
Note:Be careful not to allow compressor oil to adhere on the pulley.
-
Position the DL pulley side downward and turn the pulley in the direction indicated by the arrow once in every 2 seconds 10 times. (*2)
Note:Keep your face away from the compressor port because turning the pulley may cause gas or oil to spew out.
-
Quickly position the DL pulley side upward and turn the pulley in the direction indicated by the arrow once. (*3)
Repeat procedure (*1). (*4)
Repeat procedures (*2) through (*4) about 5 times to drain the standard amount of oil.
