SECTION 3
TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1 INSUFFICIENT OR NO COOLING
3.1.1 Preliminary Checks
Make certain that the evaporator filters are not clogged
with dirt. Check to make certain that all vehicle body
openings are air tight. Check the adjustment and
condition of the compressor drive belt (s); adjust or
replace as necessary. Refer to Section 4, paragraph
4.12 for complete drive belt installation and
maintenance procedures.
3.1.2 Checking System Air Output
If the evaporator air flow appears less than normal,
check the evaporator filter and coil for dirt and
obstructions. Clean where necessary. Check the blower
assembly for proper operation. Current draw will vary as
to evaporator , speed setting and voltage. See Table 3-1,
Table 3-2 or Table 3-3 for approximate evaporator
current draw. If the current drawn by the motor is not to
specifications, replace the motor.
3.1.3 Check The Sight Glass For Bubbles
If the preceding steps do not remedy the problem, check
the sight glass for bubbles. Run the vehicle engine at
high idle (approximately 1200 RPM) while maintaining a
minimum discharge pressure of 150 psig. The
thermostatic switch should be positioned for maximum
cooling.
Bubbles in the sight glass indicate an undercharge of
refrigerant and/or a restriction in the liquid line. If the
charge is low, check the system for leaks; repair if
necessary and charge the system with the proper
amount of refrigerant.
NOTE
Under certain ambient conditions a few bubbles
may appear in the sight glass. Refer to Section
4, Table 4-5 to determine if system has correct
charge.
No bubbles in the sight glass will indicate either a full
charge or a complete loss of refrigerant. To determine if
there is refrigerant in the system, run the vehicle engine
at high idle (approximately 1200 RPM) with the
thermostatic switch positioned for maximum cooling.
Allow system to stabilize, then shut system down while
observing the sight glass. If bubbles begin to appear, the
system has a refrigerant charge. If no bubbles appear,
system is without refrigerant.
A restriction in the liquid line can be found by feeling the
liquid line. Any portion that is cold to the touch or that
frosts up is restricting the refrigerant flow .
