Evaporator Core: Testing and Inspection

EVAPORATOR

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. Check quantity of refrigerant gas during refrigeration cycle.
2. Install manifold gauge set.
3. Run the engine at 2,000 rpm at least 5 minutes.
4. Read the manifold gauge and check the gas leakage from the evaporator by using gas leak detector.
1. If the expansion valve is clogged low pressure reading will drop to 0 kg/Sq.cm, otherwise it is OK.
2. If the expansion valve is clogged or gas leak from the evaporator, then repair or replace as necessary.
