MANUAL CONTROL HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

Caution : Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit or when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals. Disconnecting this cable will help prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle. The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

AIR CONDITIONING

Vehicle air conditioning is the cooling (refrigeration), heating, and ventilation of the air in the passenger compartment. Refrigeration is accomplished by making practical use of the three laws of nature. These laws of nature and their practical application are as follows:

Heat Transfer

The principle of heat transfer are that the heat always flow from hot to cold, the rate of heat transfer will increase as the difference in temperature between two objects increases, and the mass of an object remains the same regardless of its heat contents.

Latent Heat of Vaporization

Everything in the world is composed of matter, and the matter exists in one of following states;
When a liquid boils, it changes to vapor and absorbs heat without raising the temperature of the resulting vapor.
When the vapor condenses, it changes back to a liquid and gives off heat without lowing the temperature of the resulting liquid.

Effect of Pressure on Boiling or Condensing

When the pressure on the liquid or vapor changes, the boiling point changes. Increasing the pressure increases the boiling point, while the boiling point decreased by decreasing the pressure on the liquid or vapor.
Another effect of the compression is an increase in temperature even though heat has not been added. For example, if you compress the refrigerant R-134a from 206 kPa (30 psi) to 1206 kPa (175 psi) the temperature of vapor will increase from 0°C (32°F) to 54°C (130°F) and boiling point increase. Condensing point also will increase.

THE V5 A/C SYSTEM

The V5 variable displacement compressor, along with the thermal expansion valve on the evaporator, constitutes a largely self regulating system. There is no pressure cycling switch, no high and low pressure cutoff switch. The compressor clutch is controlled by the electronic control module (ECM), which receives data from various engine systems and the pressure transducer located in the high-pressure refrigerant pipe. In normal operation, the clutch is engaged continuously. Should one of the monitored conditions become abnormal, the ECM will disengage the compressor clutch until normal operation is restored. The abnormal conditions under which the ECM will disengage the compressor clutch are the following:

SYSTEM COMPONENTS-FUNCTIONAL

Compressor

All compressors are belt-driven from the engine crankshaft through the compressor clutch pulley. The compressor pulley rotates without driving the compressor shaft until an electromagnetic clutch coil is energized. When voltage is applied to energize the clutch coil, the clutch plate and hub assembly is drawn rearward toward the pulley. The magnetic force locks the clutch plate and pulley together as one unit to drive the compressor shaft.
As the compressor shaft driven, it compresses the low-pressure refrigerant vapor from evaporator into high-pressure, high temperature vapor. The refrigerant oil that is used to lubricate the compressor is carried with the refrigerant.

Pressure Relief Valve

The compressor is equipped with a pressure relies valve which is placed in the system as a safety factor. Under certain conditions, the refrigerant on the discharge side may exceed the designed operating pressure at approximately at 3171 to 4137 kPa (460 to 600 psi) in an R-134a system. Conditions that might cause this valve to open, such as a defective pressure transducer, an inoperative cooling fan, etc., should be corrected. The refrigerant oil and the refrigerant should be replaced as necessary.

Condenser Core

The condenser assembly in front of the radiator consists of coils, which carry the refrigerant and cooling fins that provide the rapid transfer of heat. The air passing through the condenser cools the high-pressure refrigerant vapor and causes it to condense into a liquid.

Expansion Valve

The expansion valve is attached to the evaporator core, inside the heater/air distributor case under the instrument panel.
The expansion valve can fail in three different positions: open, closed, or restricted.
An expansion valve that fails in open position will result in a noisy A/C compressor or no cooling. The cause can be a broken spring, a broken ball, or excessive moisture in the A/C system. If the spring or the ball are found to be defective, replace the expansion valve. If excessive moisture is found in the A/C system recycle the refrigerant.
An expansion valve that fails in the closed position will result low suction pressure and no cooling. This may be caused by a failed power dome or excessive moisture in the A/C system. If the power dome on the expansion valve is founded to be defective, replace the expansion valve. If excessive moisture is found in the A/C system recycle the refrigerant.
A restricted expansion valve will result in low suction pressure and no cooling. This may be caused by debris in the refrigerant system. If debris is believed to be the cause, recycle the refrigerant, replace the expansion valve, and replace the receiver-drier.

Evaporator Core

The evaporator is a device which cools and dehumidifies the air before it enters the vehicle. High pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion tube (orifice) and becomes a low pressure gas in the evaporator. The heat in the air passing through the evaporator core is transferred to the cooler surface or the core, which cools the air.
As the process of heat transfer from the air to the evaporator core surface is taking place, any moisture (humidity) in the air condenses on the outside surface of the evaporator core and is drained off as water.

Receiver-Drier

The sealed receiver-drier assembly is connected between the condenser and evaporator. It acts as a refrigerant storing container, receiving liquid and some vapor and refrigerant oil from the condenser.
At the bottom of the receiver-drier is the desiccant, which acts as drying agent for the moisture that may have entered the system. An oil bleed hole is located near the bottom of the receiver-drier outlet pipe to provide an oil return path to the compressor. The receiver dryer is serviceable as an assembly.

Heater Core

The heater core heats the air before it enters the vehicle. Engine coolant is circulated through the core to heat the outside air passing over the pin of the core. The core is functional at all times and may be used to temper conditioned air in the A/C mode as well as in heat or the vent mode.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS-CONTROL

Controller

The operation of the A/C system is controlled by the switches and knob on the control head. This console-mounted controller contains following control knobs.
Rotary Temperature Control Knob
Rotary Mode Control Knob
Rotary Blower Control Knob
Push Inlet Air Control Knob
Push A/C Knob

Pressure Transducer

Pressure transducer switching incorporates the functions of the high-pressure and the low-pressure cutout switches along with the fan cycling switch. The pressure transducer is located in high side liquid refrigerant line between the right strut tower and the air cleaner assembly. The output from this pressure transducer goes to the ECM which controls the compressor function based on the pressure signal.

Wide-Open Throttle (WOT) Compressor Cutoff

During full throttle acceleration, the throttle position (TP) sensor sends a signal to the ECM, which then controls the compressor clutch.

V5 COMPRESSOR-GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Vehicles using the V5 compressor may have differences between installations in the mounting brackets, the drive system, the pulleys, the connections, and the system capacities. Basic overhaul procedures are similar between the compressors used on different vehicles.
When servicing the compressor, keep dirt and foreign material from getting on or into the compressor parts and the system. Clean tools and a clean work area are important for proper service. The compressor connections and outside of the compressor should be cleaned before performance of any on-vehicle repairs and before removal of the compressor. The parts must be kept clean at all times and any parts that are to be reassembled should be cleaned with trichloroethane, naphtha, stoddard solvent, kerosene or equivalent solvents and dried with dry air. Use only lint-free cloths to wipe the parts.
The operations described are based on bench overhaul with the compressor removed from the vehicle, except as noted. They have been prepared in the order of accessibility of the components. When a compressor is removed from the vehicle for servicing, the amount of oil remaining the compressor should be drained, measured and recorded. This should then be discarded and new polyalkaline glycol (PAG) refrigerant oil added to the compressor.

Important : the oil drain plug must be removed and the oil drained through the plug opening to insure complete draining of oil from the compressor.

V5 COMPRESSOR-OPERATION

The V5 is a variable displacement compressor that can match the automotive air conditioning demand under all conditions without cycling. The basic compressor mechanism is a variable angle wobble-plate with seven axially oriented cylinders. The center of the control of the compressor displacement is a billows-actuated control valve located in the rear head of the compressor that senses compressor suction pressure.
The wobble-plate angle and the compressor displacement are controlled by the crankcase suction pressure differential. When the A/C capacity demand is high, the suction pressure will be above the control point. The valve will maintain a bleed from crankcase to suction. With no crankcase suction pressure differential, the compressor will have maximum displacement.
When the A/C capacity demand is lower and the suction pressure reaches the control point, the valve will bleed discharge gas in the crankcase and close off a passage from the crankcase to suction plenum. The angle of the wobble-plate is controlled by a force balance of seven pistons. A slight elevation of the crankcase suction pressure differential creates total force on the piston resulting in a movement about the wobble-plate pivot pin that reduces the plate angle.
The compressor has a unique lubrication system. The crankcase suction bleed is routed through the rotating wobble-plate for lubrication of wobble-plate bearing. The rotation acts as an oil separator that removes some of the oil from the crankcase suction bleed, rerouting it to the crankcase where it can lubricate the compressor mechanism.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES

GENERAL DIAGNOSIS

For general diagnosis of heating and ventilation including blower motor and controller, refer to Section 7A, Heating and Ventilation System.

TESTING THE REFRIGERANT SYSTEM

If you suspect a problem in the refrigerant system, check for the following condition:
  1. Check the outer surfaces of the radiator and the condenser cores to be sure that the airflow is not blocked by dirt leaves, or other foreign material. Check between the condenser and the radiator, as well as all outer surfaces.
  2. Check for restrictions or kinks in the condenser core, the hoses, and the pipes.
  3. Check the operation of the blower fan.
  4. Check all the air ducts for leaks or restrictions. Low airflow rate may indicate a restricted evaporator core.
  5. Check for slippage of the compressor clutch.
  6. Check the drive belt tension.

INSUFFICIENT COOLING "QUICK CHECK" PROCEDURE

Perform the following "hand feel" procedure to get a quick idea of whether the A/C system has the proper charge of refrigerant-R134a. the air temperature must be above 21°C (70°F) for most models.
  1. Warm up the engine. Run the engine at idle.
  2. Open the hood and all the doors.
  3. Set the A/C switch to the ON position.
  4. Set the temperature control to the full cold position.
  5. Set the blower speed switch on setting 4.
  6. "Hand-feel" the temperature of the evaporator outlet pipe. The pipe should be cold.
  7. Check for other problems. Refer to "Testing the Refrigerant System" in this section.
  8. Check leaks the system. Refer to "Leak Testing the Refrigerant System" in this section. If you find a leak, discharge the system and repair the leak as required. After completing the repair, evacuate and charge the system.
  9. If there is no leak, refer to "Insufficient Cooling Diagnosis" in this section.

LEAKING TESTING THE REFRIGERANT SYSTEM

Test for leaks whenever you suspect a refrigerant leak in the system. You should also test for leaks whenever you perform a service operation, which results in disturbing the lines or the connections. Leaks are commonly found at the refrigerant fittings or at the connections. Leaks are commonly caused by the following problems:

Liquid Leak detectors

Use a liquid leak detector solution on locations such as fittings. Apply the solution to the area in question with the swab that is supplied with the solution. Look for bubbles to appear. This will indicate the existence and location of any leak.
For areas where that are not practical, such as sections of the evaporator and the condenser, an electrical leak detector is more useful.

Electronic Leak Detectors

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for calibration, operation, and maintenance of an electronic leak detector.
Battery condition is especially important to the accuracy of a portable model. Set the detector to R-134a before beginning the test.

Important : Electronic leak detectors are sensitive to windshield washing solutions, solvents and cleaners, and certain vehicle adhesives.

Surfaces must be clean to prevent false readings. Make sure that all surfaces are dry to prevent damage to the detector.

General Testing Instructions

The audible tone changes from 1 to 2 clicks per second into a solid alarm if there is a leak. Adjust the balance control to maintain 1 to 2 clicks per second.
Test all of the following areas, even after one leak has been confirmed:

Testing Refrigerant Charge Ports/Access Valves

The sealing caps provide protection for the refrigerant charge ports. Make sure that these caps are not missing or loose. Always use the correct cap for each port.

Testing the Evaporator Core

Leaks in the evaporator core are difficult to find. Test the evaporator core using the following procedure:
  1. Run the blower fan at speed setting 4 for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Turn the blower to OFF.
  3. Wait for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the blower motor resistor. Refer to "Blower Motor Resistor" in this section.
  5. Insert the leak detector probe as close as possible to the evaporator core. The detector will indicate a leak with a solid alarm.
  6. Use a flashlight to search for refrigerant oil in the core surface.

Testing the Compressor Shaft Seal

  1. Blow shop air behind and in front of the compressor clutch/pulley for at least 15 seconds.
  2. Wait 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Probe the area in front of the pulley. If the detector emits a solid alarm, there is a leak

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL A/C SYSTEM SERVICE PROCEDURES

O-RING REPLACEMENT

Important : Even though O-rings may look identical, it is extremely important that only recommended service replacement air conditioning O-rings be used, or excessive leakage of the refrigerant may occur.

Important : Always slip the O-ring onto the flange tube to ensure proper locating and sealing.

Install new DAEWOO approved service replacement air conditioning O-rings whenever a joint or a fitting is disassembled, except when the O-rings are provided on new components.
When replacing O-rings on an air conditioning component or a joint connection, the fitting design should be identified to ensure installation of the correct air conditioning service replacement O-ring. Some joint connections and components will implement a "captured" O-ring design fitting that uses a groove to retain the Oring. Others do not have a groove and use a "non-captured" or "standard" O-ring. Assembly and tightening procedures are the same for both designs, but the Orings are different.
Before installation, verify that both O-rings and fittings have not been nicked or deformed. Deformed or nicked parts must be replaced. Failure to use the proper service replacement parts and procedures may result in excessive refrigerant leakage.

HANDLING REFRIGERANT

Caution : Always work in a well-ventilated area and avoid breathing any refrigerant fumes. If you have difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. If refrigerant comes in contact with any part of your body, flush the exposed area with water. If a rash or pain develops, seek medical attention.

Air conditioning systems contain refrigerant. This is a chemical mixture which requires special handling procedures to avoid personal injury.
Always wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around the fittings, the valves, and the connections when performing work that involves opening the refrigerant system. Do not weld or steam clean on or near any vehicle-installed air conditioning lines or components.
All refrigerant drums are shipped with a heavy metal screw cap. The purpose of the cap is to protect the valve and the safety plug from damage. It is good practice to replace the cap after each use of the drum.
If it is necessary to transport or carry any container of refrigerant in a vehicle, do not carry it in the passenger compartment.

HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT LINES AND FITTINGS

    Notice : Using too low or too high a torque when tightening a fitting can result in loose joints or deformed joint parts.

    Both conditions can result in refrigerant leakage.

    Important : Use two proper wrenches to connect the Oring fittings.

MAINTAINING CHEMICAL STABILITY IN THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

    The efficient operation and life of the air conditioning system is dependent upon the chemical stability of the refrigeration system. When foreign materials, such as dirt, air, or moisture, contaminate the refrigeration system, they will change the stability of the refrigerant and the polyalkalene glycol (PAG) compressor oil. They will also affect the pressure-temperature relationship, reduce efficient operation, and can possibly cause interior corrosion and abnormal wear of moving parts.
    All service parts are dehydrated and sealed before shipping. They should remain sealed until just before making connections. All the parts should be at room temperature before uncapping. This prevents condensation of moisture from the air from entering the system. Reseal all parts as soon as possible if the caps have been removed but the connections cannot be made promptly.

DISCHARGING, ADDING OIL, EVACUATING, AND CHARGING PROCEDURES FOR A/C SYSTEM

Caution : Use only refillable refrigerant tanks that are authorized for the charging station being used. The use of other tanks may cause personal injury or void the warranty. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station.

Caution : To avoid personal injury, always wear goggles and gloves when performing work that involves opening the refrigeration system.

A charging station discharges, evacuates, and recharges an air conditioning (A/C) system with one hookup.
Filtering the refrigerant during the recovery cycle together with filtering during the evacuation cycle ensures a supply of clean, dry refrigerant for A/C system charging.
Notice :

Charging Station Setup and Maintenance

There are many charging stations available. All perform the various tasks required to discharge the system and recover refrigerant, evacuate the system, add a measured amount of oil, and recharge an air conditioning system with a measured amount of refrigerant. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for all initial setup procedures and all maintenance procedures.

Control Panel Functions

    A charging station will have controls and indicators to allow the operator to control and monitor the operation in progress. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for details. These can be expected to include the following:
  1. Main Power Switch
  2. Display
  3. Low-Side Manifold Gauge
  4. High-Side Manifold Gauge
  5. Control Panel
  6. Low-Side Valve
  7. Moisture Indicator
  8. High-Side Valve

Refrigerant Recovery

    Important : Use only a refrigerant tank that is designed for the charging station in use. The unit's overfill limitation mechanism is calibrated specifically for use with this tank. The tank's valves are also manufactured specifically for this unit.

  1. Attach the high-side hose with the quick disconnect coupler to the high-side fitting of the vehicle's A/C system.
  2. Open the coupler valve.
  3. Attach the low-side hose with the quick disconnect coupler to the low-side fitting of the vehicle's A/C system.
  4. Open the coupler valve.
  5. Check the high-side and the low-side gauges on the unit's control panel to ensure that the A/C system has pressure. If there is no pressure, there is no refrigerant in the system to recover.
  6. Important : If there is no refrigerant in the system, do not continue with the recovery operation. Under this condition, this would draw air into the recovery tank.

  7. Open both the high-side and the low-side valves.
  8. Open the gas and the liquid valves on the tank.
  9. Drain any oil that may be in the oil separator.
  10. Close the oil drain valve.
  11. Plug the unit into the proper voltage outlet. 11. Turn on the main power switch.
  12. Notice : Never reuse refrigerant oil. Damage to the A/C system may result. Dispose of the refrigerant oil properly.

  13. Begin the recovery process. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use.
  14. Important : Some A/C system polyalkalene glycol (PAG) lubricating oil may be removed with the refrigerant during recovery. The amount of oil removed varies. A charging station separates the oil from the refrigerant and provides a means of determining how much oil was removed. Replace the same amount of oil when recharging the system.

    Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use.
  15. Wait 5 minutes, then check the control panel low-side gauge. If the A/C has maintained vacuum, the recovery is complete.
  16. If the low-side gauge pressure rises above zero, there is more refrigerant in the system. Recover the additional refrigerant. Repeat this step until the system maintains vacuum for 2 minutes.
  17. Important : If the control indicator shows that the refrigerant tank is full during the recovery process and the unit shuts off, install an empty unit tank to store the refrigerant needed for steps later in the procedure. Do not use any other type of tank.

Evacuation

    The unit tank must contain a sufficient amount of R-134a refrigerant for charging. Check the amount of refrigerant in the tank. If there is less than 3.6 kg (8 pounds) of refrigerant, add new refrigerant to the tank. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for adding refrigerant.
  1. Verify that the high-side and the low-side hoses are connected to the A/C system. Open both the high-side and the low-side valves on the unit's control panel.
  2. Open both the gas and the liquid valves on the tank.
  3. Important : Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use. It is necessary to evacuate the system before recharging it with new or recycled refrigerant.

  4. Start the vacuum pump and begin the evacuation process. Non-condensable gases (mostly air) are vented from the tank automatically during the recycling process. The pressure being released may be heard.
  5. Check for leaks in the system. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use.
  6. Important : Change the vacuum pump oil frequently. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use.

A/C System Oil Charge Replenishing

    Any oil removed from the A/C system during the recovery process must be replenished at this time.
  1. Use the correct graduated bottle of polyalkalene glycol (PAG) oil for the R-134a system.
  2. Important : Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use. Add the proper amount of PAG oil to the system.

  3. Close the valve when the required oil charge has been pulled into the system.

Charging

    Important : Evacuate the A/C system before charging.

  1. Close the low-side valve on the control panel.
  2. Open the high-side valve on the control panel.
  3. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the charging station in use.
  4. Enter the amount of refrigerant needed to charge the A/C, making sure to use the correct system of measurement, i.e. kilogram (kg) or pound (lb).
  5. Begin the charging process.

Successful Transfer Complete

  1. Close the high-side valve on the unit's control panel. Both valves should be closed.
  2. Start the vehicle and the A/C system.
  3. Let the engine run until the readings on the high-side and low-side gauges stabilize.
  4. Compare the readings to the system specifications.
  5. Check the evaporator outlet temperature to ensure that the A/C system is operating within the system specifications.
  6. Keep the A/C running.
  7. Close the high-side coupler valve.
  8. Disconnect the high-side hose from the vehicle.
  9. Open the high-side and low-side valves on the control panel.
  10. The system will quickly draw in refrigerant from both hoses through the low-side hose.
  11. Close the low-side coupler valve.
  12. Disconnect the low-side hose from the vehicle.

Unsuccessful Transfer

    Sometimes the total charge does not transfer into the A/C system. There are two reasons why this may occur:
  1. The pressure in the unit's tank and the pressure in the A/C system are roughly equal.
  2. There was not enough refrigerant in the unit's tank to transfer the full charge.
