Chery A series. Manual — part 134

(1) Check the crack, damage or oily fluid leakage.

·

Replace the evaporation unit if any failure above

occurs.

(2) Check the bent of fender.

·

Use a flat headed screwdriver to straighten it if a bent

is found.

The Chery A15LHD adopts the tube-fin type evaporator
which is installed in the air conditioning unit assy. under
the instrument panel.

The function of evaporator is opposite to that of
condenser. After expanded in the expansion valve, the
coolant fluid absorbs the heat inside the vehicle from the
evaporator, and evaporates to the coolant gas, then
enters into the compressor to circulate.

Introduction to the evaporator temperature sensor
(thermostat):

The evaporator temperature sensor used by the Chery
A15LHD is the heat-sensitive tube mechanical type
temperature regulator, which is closed when the working
temperature is adjusted to 4

or more while

℃

disconnected when adjusted to 4

or below. Its

℃

installation position is just under the evaporator, as
shown in the figure.

FAILURES AND SHOOTING ANALYSIS SHEET

1. Precautions on A/C system installation

(1) For the pipes fixed using the fixing nuts, two

wrenches must be applied to ensure that the
pipes don't deform or break;

(2) Do not use the compressed air to clean the pipes,

and the nitrogen or coolant gas is available;

(3) Correctly assemble it, and check the tightening

torque of all connections as required;

(4) Check all parts to ensure that they aren’t damaged

and all adjacent parts don’t interfere each other;

(5) Conduct the leakage test to ensure there is no

leakage in the A/C system.

PRECAUTIONS ON THE SECURITY OF A/C SYSTEM

Coolant treatment

1. The operator shall pay more attention to prevent the coolant fluid from spraying into
your eye or on your skin because the fluid-state coolant is very dangerous. Only one drop
of coolant will cause your skin to be damaged partially if it drops up the skin of the skin.
You must put on your grooves and protective goggles. When the coolant sprays into your
eye or on your skin

(a) Use the cold water to clean those parts

(b) Do not wipe your eye or skin

(c) Immediately get to a hospital to have a professional personnel treat it.

It is recommended to use such equipment as the recovered, recycling, or reused equipment. If
there is any emergency system failure, it is recommended that the equipment is placed on a
ventilation treatment site before the implementation of the equipment maintenance service.

2. Do not dispose the coolant located at a closed place or near fire. If the coolant gas contacts
with sparks or the similar heat source (such as: cigarette or heater), it will generate the toxic
gas.

Storage of coolant
A6E851001039W02

1. The coolant shall be stored in the high-pressure resistance equipment, and take care to
slightly place the fluid reservoir to prevent the reservoir from being impacted by some sharp
materials. Heating the coolant fluid reservoir or taking it near the fire will make it explode,
and the metal fragment generated and the sputtered fluid-state coolant will cause the serious
injury to people. It is recommended to store the coolant under the environment of 40

0

C

(104

0

F) below.

Safety Notices

1. Do not sit inside the vehicle which operates at the idle speed for a long time, and also do

not leave a child in the vehicle.

2. Switchover the air conditioner to the external circulation mode and inhale the fresh air

into the vehicle from the outside, and change the blower switch to the High-Speed
position when the engine has operated in an unclosed environment for a long time.

3. Avoid the open of luggage boot cover during driving because the gas emitted from the

engine may enter into the vehicle. If the boot cover must be opened, please close all
windows, and change the air conditioner to the external circulation mode to inhale the
fresh air into the vehicle from the outside.

4.

Do not open the high-pressure valve of manifold pressure gauge during the operation of
compressor. If the high-pressure valve is opened, the coolant will flow in the reverse
direction and cause the fluid reservoir to be broken.

U-21

Coolant shortage treatment

·

If it is found that there is the coolant shortage during checking the failure, it is
recommended to add the coolant. The reason is: there is the difference between the pressure
values indicated by the different pressure gauges, so it is difficult to add the coolant with
accurate quantity in accordance with the pressure reading. If the coolant added is excessive
or insufficient, it may cause a series of negative effects, such as: to damage the coolant
recycling parts, or, to reduce the refrigeration effect. Thus, if it is found that the coolant is
insufficient, it is recommended to completely drain off the coolant from the coolant
circulating pipes, and then add the specified quantity of coolant.

Compressor oil treatment

·

For this model of vehicle, it is recommended to use the SP10 model compressor oil;
otherwise it may be available to regulate the compressor.

·Take care not to spray the compressor oil on the surface of the vehicle during the

maintenance operation. Thus, if this case occurs, immediately wipe and clean it, otherwise
the compressor oil will damage the paintwork on the surface of the vehicle.

·

Engine oil shall absorb the moisture.
