Plumbing and Mechanical
PLUMBING AND MECHANICAL SYSTEM OPERATION
The plumbing and mechanical system
is controlled by electrical impulses from
the electrical system. There are four main
components to the plumbing system:
• Compressor
• Vacuum Pump
• Main Manifold Assembly
• Internal Storage Vessel (ISV)
Along with these components are several
ancillary components:
• Cooling Fan
• Injection Manifold Assembly
• Flush + N2H2 Manifold Assembly
• Oil Drain Bottle
• High- and Low-Side Gauges
• High- (red) and Low-Side (blue) Service
Hoses
All components are interconnected with various
lengths and diameters of flexible tubing or
copper tubing. The copper tubing connects
the compressor discharge port to the manifold
assembly. All lines connected to the compressor
are high-pressure lines.
Compressor
When replacing the compressor, heed all
warnings, cautions, and any other related safety
information. For compressor specifications, see
Unit Specifications chapter of this manual.
Vacuum Pump
The vacuum pump is used in this unit for the
recovery and vacuum processes. For vacuum
pump specifications, see Unit Specifications
chapter of this manual.
Main Manifold
The main manifold assembly consists of
solenoids:
• Oil Drain (S3)
• Low-Side Inlet (S4)
• High-Side Inlet (S5)
• High-Side Charge (S6)
• Low-Side Charge (S7)
• Recycle (S8)
• Vacuum (S9)
• Recover (S11)
• Deep Recover (S12)
• Oil Return (S13)
•
Identifier (S17)
Also included are transducers:
• Low Side Pressure (LSP) transducer
• Accumulator Pressure (AP) transducer
The manifold assembly permits efficient,
reliable operation of the unit. The oil separator
and heat exchanger are a single unit. That and
the filter/dryer are attached below the manifold.
This manifold assembly is not interchangeable
with any other manifold assembly.
Repair or replacement of the manifold should
be performed under clean conditions so
particulates do not enter the assembly from
any open ports. Particulates can clog the small
chambers and cause solenoid and check valve
malfunctions, as well as contaminate a vehicle
air conditioning system.
Internal Storage Vessel (ISV)
The ISV stores the refrigerant from the
vehicle A/C system and from the external
refrigerant source tank. Sensors, solenoids,
and transducers on the ISV include:
• Air Purge (S1)
• Tank liquid (S22)
• ISV Pressure (TP) transducer
• ISV Temperature (TT) sensor
