In order
to maintain the system in your vehicle to peak efficiency, it will require
servicing once a year. Part of the system is a Receiver Drier,
which has the following functions:
To filter out any impurities and therefore protect the compressor.
It contains desiccant to absorb the small amounts of moisture that are
present within the system.
A reservoir for excess liquid refrigerant. After a period of time/use
the filter cannot perform the above functions as efficiently. Therefore
servicing becomes necessary not only to maintain optimum performance but
also to spot any potential problems before they occur.
An air-conditioning service takes approximately 3 hours and consists of
the following:
| Check
pressures and vent Temperature prior to servicing |
| Check
all controls including air distribution |
| Analyse
Gas De-Pressurise System Measure amount recovered |
| Replace
filter drier and O rings |
| Add correct type
of oil back to system |
| Visual check
of condenser (clean with compressed air) |
| Visual check
of all hosing (routing and condition) |
| Visual
check of compressor and mount brackets for security of fitting |
| Visual check
of compressor drive belt tension/condition |
| Evacuate and
recharge system |
| Check vent temperature
and pressures |
| Check condenser
fan operation |
| Check all electrics
and controls |
|
Check drain
tube
|
| Apply anti bacterial
evaporator treatment |
