Refrigerant Circuit With RESTRICTOR And Reservoir
On vehicles with restrictor and reservoir, the restrictor and reservoir are removed. Restrictor refrigerant pipes are reassembled. The refrigerant pipe to the removed reservoir are connected with each other via two adapters and the Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 2 - Adapter 31:VAS6338/31 (from the Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1:VAS6338/1 ).
- A/C Service Station
- With a electronics and a program for flushing for example Robinair A/C Service Unit: ROB134APF
- If an A/C Service Station without a flushing program is used, the procedure must be performed manually (evacuate, flush three times with at least 4 kg refrigerant for each and extract the refrigerant again, evacuate).
- Refrigerant Hose for A/C Service Station
- From the high pressure side of the A/C Service Station (mostly red colored) to the low pressure side connection of the A/C compressor on refrigerant circuit (larger diameter).
- Adapter for Connecting Low Pressure Side to Refrigerant Circuit
- Different versions depending on vehicle. Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT .
- From the Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1:VAS6338/1
- Low Pressure Side Connection on Refrigerant Circuit
- Different versions depending on vehicle. Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT .
- On refrigerant line from A/C compressor to reservoir.
- Connection to Reservoir
- Different versions depending on vehicle. Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT .
- On refrigerant line from A/C compressor to reservoir.
- Adapter for Bridging the Removed Reservoir
- Different versions depending on vehicle. Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT .
- From the Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1:VAS6338/1
- Refrigerant Charge Hose
- Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT
- For example Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1 - Adapter 31:VAS6338/31 (from the Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1:VAS6338/1 )
- Adapter for Bridging the Removed Reservoir
- Different versions depending on vehicle. Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT .
- From the Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1:VAS6338/1
- Connection to Reservoir
- Different versions depending on vehicle. Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT .
- Evaporator
- Component Location of Restrictor
- Restrictor is removed.
- Remove restrictor. Refer to Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning.
- Bolts in Refrigerant Line
- Bolt together again after removing restrictor. Refer to Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning.
- Condenser
- High Pressure Side Connection on Refrigerant Circuit
- Different versions depending on vehicle. Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT .
- Adapter to Connection for High Pressure Side on Refrigerant Circuit
- Different versions depending on vehicle. Refer to ADAPTER FOR ASSEMBLING FLUSHING CIRCUIT .
- From the Refrigerant Circuits Adapter Set 1:VAS6338/1
- Charge Hose for Refrigerant Circuit Flushing Device
- From connection to the high pressure side of the A/C compressor on the refrigerant circuit (smaller diameter) to input of Refrigerant Circuit Flushing Device:VAS6336/1 or Air Conditioning Flush Tool:VAS6337/1A .
- Refrigerant Circuit Flushing Device
- There are different versions and different design, for example Refrigerant Circuit Flushing Device:VAS6336/1 or Air Conditioning Flush Tool:VAS6337/1 .
- With filter, viewing glass, safety valve, heater, refrigerant reservoir, etc. (depending on version).NOTE:
Depending on the design of the A/C Service Station and the flushing device for the refrigerant circuits, a connection for a service coupling for the refrigerant circuits can be installed on the output and may also be installed on the input of the flushing device. If on the output of the flushing device a service connection with valve is installed this valve must be completely opened when the service coupling is connected. A valve that is not completely opened creates a constriction.
-- If on the input of the flushing device a connection for a service coupling is present, modify the input so that the refrigerant hose which comes from the vehicle can be directly connected.
NOTE:A service coupling and a valve in the flushing device input makes a constriction which impairs the refrigerant flow from the vehicle in the flushing device.
