 Recover Refrigerant
At International Components Engineering, we recognize the need to
preserve the environment and limit potential harm to the ozone layer
that can result from allowing refrigerant to escape into the
atmosphere.

We strictly adhere to a policy that promotes the responsible use and

handling of CFC/HCFC/HFC refrigerants by using approved recovery
and recycling methods and equipment that limits the loss of
refrigerant into the atmosphere.

Safety Precautions

Refrigerant

Refrigerant Oil

First Aid
Objectives of first aid for frostbite are to protect
the frozen area from further injury, to warm the
affected area rapidly, and to maintain respiration.
First Aid
EYES: For contact with liquid, immediately flush
eyes with large amounts of water and get prompt In case of eye contact, immediately flush with
medical attention. plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. CALL A
PHYSICIAN. Wash skin with soap and water.
SKIN: Flush area with large amounts of
lukewarm water. Do not apply heat. Remove
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wrap burns
Leak Detection
with dry, sterile, bulky dressing to protect from
infection/injury. Get medical attention. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse.
INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air and use
CPR or mouth-to-mouth ventilation, if necessary.
Stay with victim until arrival of emergency Check manufactures information when using leak
medical personnel. detectors. All leak detectors must detect fluorine.
Leaks can be detected by using soap bubbles and

with Halogen leak detectors such as G.E. H10G or
a portable leak detector. These are commercially
available.

 Safety Precautions

R-134a Applications Equipment for R-134a Use Only

R-134a is a Hydrofluoro-carbon (HFC) because it
contains hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon. It does
not contain chlorine.
Always use recommended procedures when
servicing equipment:
• Do not vent refrigerant to the atmosphere.
• Recover and reclaim all refrigerants.

• Gauge Manifold.
• All service hoses.
• All adaptors and fittings.
• Micron Gauge optional, but must be used with
refrigerant dedicated hoses.
• Vacuum pump. (5 cfm size [0.14 meter3/min.]
or larger recommended).
• Recovery and recycling equipment.
• Proper storage equipment for refrigerants and
oils.
• Suction service filter(s) for system clean-up (if
needed).

Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) Oil

Handling Procedures

Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) oil is a hygroscopic

oil, which means it absorbs or attracts moisture
from the air. Therefore, this oil requires special
care and handling procedures. Discard partially
used cans of PAG oil.

Introduction

Swash Plate System

The driveshaft is supported by two radial bearings
and two thrust bearings. As the swash plate
reciprocates through the rotation of the drive
shaft, the pistons are driven back and forth.

1. Radial Bearing
2. Thrust Bearing

Piston Drive System

The pistons in the cylinders are mounted on the
swash plate through a dive ball and shoe disk.
Each piston has a compression head at each end.
Swash plate rotation results in reciprocating
piston movement parallel to the driveshaft. The
cylinders are arranged at intervals around the
driveshaft, providing 5 front and 5 rear bores.

Compressor System Guidelines

• The specified rotation of the TM-08, TM-13,
Item Condition
TM-15, TM-16, and TM-21 is clockwise or
counterclockwise. Ambient Temperature Under 212 F (100 C)
Speed 6000 rpm maximum
• The specified rotation of the TM-31 is
clockwise as viewed from the clutch side. Pressure Max: 284 psig (1960 KPa)

• The compressor must be operated within the

conditions shown below.

3. Drive Pulley

• Ratio of magnetic clutch to drive pulley:

• To avoid vibration and resonance, avoid

pulley ratio ranges between 1:0.92 and
1:1.08.
• Compressor speed must not exceed the
specified speed.
• Pulley alignment tolerance is less than
0.049 in. (1 mm).
• Belt tension must be adjusted to the specified
tension. See belt manufacturer or system
specifications for tension guidelines.

Safety Refrigerant Recovery

Avoid releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere. If
you are removing refrigerant from an air
conditioning system, use a refrigerant recovery
unit.
Consult your recovery unit operators manual for
hookup and operating procedures.

compressor mounting supports and bracket
must be less than 0.004 inches (0.10 mm). Use
shims as necessary to adjust this clearance
(Shim Kit ICE No. 2570101). This reduces
stress on the compressor.
3. Pulley alignment. Maintain correct pulley
alignment for the drive belt.

• Check and adjust the oil quantity before

replacing the compressor. (see “Returning Oil
to the Compressor” on page 37.) Follow
system specifications.

revolutions before hooking the drive belt up to the

Leak Testing the Compressor

After repairs and before installation, check a
compressor for refrigerant leaks:
1. Install the discharge and suction caps on the
connector. Oil Charge Considerations
Most compressors come with a factory oil charge,
which is listed on the rear label. This oil charge is
for an average system that is already “wet.” The
actual oil charge needed is application-specific,
and may be different than the factory oil charge.
Consult your application manual for the specific
oil charge needed.
If you are replacing the compressor in an already
“wet” system which has had no leaks, follow the
procedure “Returning Oil to the Compressor” on
page 37 to determine the oil charge needed for the
new compressor.
If you are placing the compressor in a new,
“un-wet” installation, use the amount of oil
specified in the application manual. If no amount
is specified, you will have to determine the

amount experimentally. New systems require an
type used in the system) through the connector
additional oil charge to “wet” system components.
suction port. Raise the pressure to at least
70 psig (483 Kpa).
3. Check the compressor for leaks using a
reliable leak detector.
Oil Type Considerations
Your compressor comes with an oil charge that
may not be compatible with your system. Check
Compressor Oil Procedures system decals and operation manual for correct oil
type.
Compressor Oil Caution Statements
If the oil charge in a new compressor is not
compatible with your air conditioning system,
remove and replace the oil.
Compressor Oil ICE No. 2560101 (1L PAG) is
recommended for R-134a Systems.

Checking Compressor Oil for

Contamination
Figure 8: Typical Compressor Oil Fill Procedure
Inspect extracted oil for the following:
• Dirt
• Color changed to red or black
• Presence of foreign substances, metal
shavings, etc. in the oil.
Black oil indicates a severely contaminated
system. To determine the extent of contamination,
remove the filter-drier, then check if the black
colored oil is present there. If so, flush the system.
If flushing is required, use industry approved
materials.
If the oil is clean at the filter-drier, install a new
filter-drier and replace the oil with new oil. See
“Adding Compressor Oil” below.

Adding Compressor Oil

To add oil:

Clutch Test
If the field coil lead wire is broken, replace the
field coil. Check the amperage and voltage. The
amperage range should be:

System Amperage
12 Volt System 3.6 to 4.2
24 Volt System 1.8 to 2.1

Amperage indications:
• A very high amperage reading indicates a
short within the field coil.
Figure 10: Remove Drive Plate
• No amperage reading indicates an open circuit
in the winding. 3. Remove the snap ring using external snap ring
pliers. Remove the cover (if equipped).
• An intermittent or poor system ground results
in lower voltage at the clutch. Check for a

Safety Refrigerant Recovery

Avoid the release of refrigerant into the
atmosphere. If releasing refrigerant from an air
conditioning system, use a refrigerant recovery
unit to recover the refrigerant.
Consult your recovery unit operators manual for
hookup and operating procedures.

Compressor Storage
Store new and rebuilt compressors:
• With the correct oil charge.
• Within the orientation range shown in Figure
31 on page 52. If the compressor sits outside
that orientation for more than one minute, turn
compressor manually (slowly) to clear oil
from the cylinders. Figure 31: Inclination Limit
• With a holding charge of refrigerant or
nitrogen to a pressure of 7 to 21 psig (48 to
