2.12 INSTALLING AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
We recommend using original IVECO units for the installation of an air conditioning system.
When this is not possible, aside from complying with the specific requirements provided by the manufacturer of the equipment, it
is necessary to:
●
maintain good performance of the vehicle parts that may be involved in the intervention;
●
check that the battery capacity and alternator power are sufficient for increased current draw (see Chapter 5.7 - Paragraph
"Additional equipment" (
➠
Page 43)) and install a protection fuse on the new circuit;
●
plan the compressor installation modes with IVECO, if installed on the engine;
●
route piping and wiring layout (and installation of brackets and flexible fittings) in relation to the spaces available and the influ-
ence of heat on the chassis parts;
●
avoid layouts and installations where exposure may be dangerous when the vehicle is moving; fit suitable guards when neces-
sary;
●
the system must allow easy access and ensure prompt maintenance.
The Bodybuilder must provide all necessary maintenance instructions upon vehicle delivery.
In addition, in function of the type of system:
a) cab installed system:
●
condenser installation must not cause negative effects on the engine cooling characteristics (reduction of exposed radiator-
engine area);
●
condenser installation must not be coupled with the engine radiator, but placed in its own specific compartment with proper
ventilation;
●
installation of the evaporator unit and of the bellow inside the cab (in cases where not provided directly from IVECO) must
be planned as not to negatively impact control functions and access to equipment;
b) cab roof-installed systems :
●
it is necessary to verify that the mass of the equipment does not exceed the weight allowed by the cab; in addition, the Body-
builder must define the structural reinforcements to apply to the cab roof in relation to the unit's weight and type of interven-
tion performed;
●
contact IVECO or specific applications that involve an unoriginal compressor (e.g. fridge).
Note Note that in relation to Directive 2006/40/EC on the emissions of air conditioning systems for motor vehicles, the use of fluorinated
GHG with overall heating potential over 150 in comparison to CO2 is prohibited.
2.13 WORK ON THE CAB
General information
All interventions on the steering cab must be authorised by IVECO in advance.
The modifications must not hinder operation of the control devices located in the area of the modification (e.g. pedals, switches,
pipes, etc.) nor alter the strength of load-bearing elements (frames, reinforcement profiles, etc.). Care must be taken when dealing
with operations that regard the engine cooling and air intake pipelines.
In relation to variation of cab weight, it is necessary to consider the position of the load in order to respect division of allowed axle
loads (see Chapter 1.15 (
➠
Page 11)).
As regards operations that entail the removal of internal sound barriers or protective panels (panelling, cladding) be sure to re-
move only the minimum amount possible; restore the protections as intended in the original design along with their original func-
tionality.
Cab installation of controls and equipment (PTO engage switch, external operator cylinder control, etc.) is allowed as long as:
