The condenser with dryer must be replaced in the following situations:
- Refrigerant circuit is open for > 20 minutes.
- Amount of refrigerant extracted is < 30% of the required quantity.
- Refrigerant circuit has been open for an indefinite period of time (gradual leak, stone damage to condenser).
- Air-conditioning compressor has become blocked.
- After opening the packaging and line connections on the condenser, the condenser must be installed within 20 minutes at the latest and the refrigerant circuit must be closed, evacuated and filled.
The condenser with dryer must not be replaced in the following situations:
- If the components are closed off using stoppers immediately after opening the refrigerant circuit or the refrigerant circuit is closed and evacuated within 20 minutes at the latest.
- Installation is performed in reverse order. Pay particular attention to the following:
- 1.1 Seals on the line connections must be replaced.
- 1.2 Screw securing high-voltage line holder to air-conditioning compressor > Tightening torque 8 Nm (6 ftlb.)
- 1.3 Screw securing air-conditioning compressor to bracket > Tightening torque 20 Nm (15 ftlb.)
- 1.4 Nut securing protective plate to air-conditioning compressor > Tightening torque 20 Nm (15 ftlb.)
- 1.5 Screw securing line connection for refrigerant line (high and low-pressure) to air-conditioning compressor > Tightening torque 20 Nm (15 ftlb.) .
