Oil distribution
Oil distribution
The oil in the compressor oil sump, before the air conditioning is turned on for the first time, is distributed through the refrigerant circuit at the following rates:
t  Compressor (approx. 30%)
t  Condenser / Dryer filter (approx. 30%)
t  Flexible intake tube (approx. 10%)
t  Evaporator (approx. 30%)
  Note
When replacing the compressor, slowly remove the replacement compressor plugs so that the gas used for pressurizing is released. This prevents compressor oil loss.
When replacing the loop components, correct the quantity of refrigerant oil. Check additional recommendations, related to:
t  Replacing the compressor → Air conditioning with R134a refrigerant; Rep. gr.00.
t  Liquid receiver replacement → Air conditioning with refrigerant R134a; Rep. gr.00.
t  Replacement of other components → Air conditioning with refrigerant R134a; Rep. gr.00.
In case of any questions about the quantity of cooling gas oil in the respective circuit, clean it → Air conditioning with R134a cooling gas; Rep. gr.00, and then replenish with the recommended quantity of cooling gas oil → Chapter.
