The A/C refrigerant system is a clutch cycling orifice
The 10S17C A/C compressor has the following
tube type. The system consists of the following
characteristics:

A/C Compressor Pressure Relief Valve
An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is
incorporated in the compressor A/C body to:
relieve unusually high refrigerant system
discharge pressure buildups of (3.43MPa [497
psi] and above).
prevent damage to the A/C compressor and other
system components.
avoid total refrigerant loss by closing after the
excessive pressure has been relieved.
A/C Condenser Core
The A/C condenser core has the following
characteristics:

The condenser to evaporator line (A/C liquid line)
contains high pressure liquid refrigerant upstream of
the A/C evaporator core orifice. This orifice tube can
be serviced by disconnecting liquid line from the body
and undoing the nut joining both halves of the liquid
line. The liquid line incorporates a high pressure
charge port valve which is only used in the vehicle
assembly plant.

The compressor inlet hose (suction hose) contains
low temperature low pressure refrigerant vapour. In
the V8 vehicle, the suction hose is attached to a
suction tube via a quick-connect clamp. For all
models, the suction hose/tube is attached to the
suction accumulator via a quick-connect clamp. The
suction hose incorporates a low pressure charge port
valve which is used for all A/C system servicing.
The BA Falcon 6-cylinder petrol/LPG compressor inlet
hoses (suction hoses) from Feb 2004 have been
standardised (BA-19997-D) and this is different to the
early level of BA Falcon petrol/LPG suction hoses
(BA-19997-A and BA-19997-C), both in the hose
material and routing.
All hose/tube assemblies contain refrigerant O-rings

which are retained in a recessed groove. These
O-rings seal against leakage using radial compression
once the joint is fully assembled and further tightening
of the fitting bolt or tube nut will not improve the
sealing performance. These O-rings are black in
colour and made of a special material compatible with
refrigerant and refrigerant oil. Use only black genuine
Ford refrigerant O-rings for replacement.
On the evaporator inlet and outlet tube joints,
green/blue refrigerant O-rings are fitted. Again, these
O-rings are made of a special material compatible
with refrigerant and refrigerant oil, and are different
dimensions to the black refrigerant O-rings. Use only
green/blue genuine Ford refrigerant O-rings for
replacement in these locations.

A/C Orifice Tube Assembly
2003 (BA-19C808-B, post December 2003) has a
different mounting to the earlier version of BA Falcon
accumulator (BA-19C808-A, pre December 2003).
Both the later level accumulator bracket and the
welded body apron brackets have been revised, and
the later level accumulator bracket cannot be fitted to
the earlier level body bracket.
The suction accumulator is mounted via the A/C
accumulator bracket onto the LH body apron. The
inlet tube of the suction accumulator is connected to
the A/C evaporator outlet tube. The outlet tube of the
accumulator is connected to the A/C suction
hose/tube assembly.
After entering the inlet of the suction accumulator,
