A/C System: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The A/C refrigerant system is a clutch cycling orifice tube type. The system components are:
- A/C compressor (19703).
- A/C clutch (2884).
- A/C condenser core (19712).
- A/C evaporator core (19860).
- Suction accumulator (19C836).
- Connecting refrigerant lines.
The refrigeration system operation is controlled by the:
- A/C evaporator core orifice (19D990).
- A/C cycling switch (19E561).
- A/C compressor pressure relief valve (19D644).
- A/C pressure cutoff switch (19D594).
The refrigerant system incorporates an A/C compressor controlled by an A/C cycling switch.
The A/C cycling switch senses evaporator core pressure to control A/C compressor operation.
An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is installed in the compressor manifold and tube assembly (19D734) to protect the refrigerant system against excessively high refrigerant pressures.
An A/C evaporator core orifice is installed in the evaporator core inlet tube to meter the liquid refrigerant into the evaporator core.
