Refrigerant: Testing and Inspection
REFRIGERANT
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
a. This is a method to identify trouble areas by using a manifold gauge set. Read the manifold gauge pressure under the given conditions.
Test conditions:
-
Engine warm.
-
All doors fully open.
-
A/C switch ON.
-
Blower speed control switch at HI.
-
Engine running at 1,500 rpm.
-
Air inlet mode damper set at recirculation.
-
Temperature control lever in MAX. COLD position.
-
Air temperature at air inlet 30 to 35°C (86 to 95°F).
1. When the refrigerant volume is correct, the gauge reading indicates as given:
Low pressure side: 0.15 to 0.25 MPa (1.5 to 2.5 kgf/sq.cm)
High pressure side: 1.37 to 1.57 MPa (14 to 16 kgf/sq.cm)
HINT: Pressure varies in accordance with certain conditions (outside air temperature, sunlight and wind).
2. When there is moisture in the refrigeration system
