-
The connection on the accumulator may be marked with "IN" (from evaporator) and "OUT" (to compressor).
-
Removed accumulator contains refrigerant oil which must be restored to the refrigerant system (with new accumulator).
-
The adaptation of the oil capacity depends on the type of repair and the state of the components:
-
For example if the accumulator was damaged (no refrigerant escaped, no moisture or dirt entered the system), the air conditioning system can
be repaired by weighing the old and the new accumulator: Fill new accumulator with refrigerant oil, until the weight of the removed
accumulator is reached.
-
If a undefined amount of refrigerant oil escaped or dirt and moisture entered the system, clean refrigerant circuit with compressed air and
nitrogen.
-
Install accumulator in bracket -D-.
-
Hang bracket -D-with nose -B-engaged.
-
Mount screws -A- and tighten with 8 Nm.
-
Replace O-Ring-seals -D-(16.7 mm x 1.8 mm) and -E-(16.7 mm x 1.8 mm).
-
Turn accumulator so that both refrigerant lines -B-and -C-can be stress free installed in the accumulator. Observe correct connection assignment.
-
Mount refrigerant line with screw -A- on accumulator (tightening torque 25 Nm). When tightening refrigerant lines to accumulator, hold
accumulator e.g. with oil filter strap (to avoid accumulator from turning).
