Flushing Circuit Block Diagrams: Notes
NOTE:
- The arrows in the following illustrations show the direction of refrigerant flow during flushing (refrigerant flows in opposite direction of flow when A/C system is in operation while flushing, therefore the high pressure side of the A/C service system is connected to the low pressure connection of the refrigerant circuit to the A/C compressor).
- These block diagrams show a refrigerant circuit with restrictor and reservoir, refer to Refrigerant Circuit with Restrictor and Reservoir and a refrigerant circuit with expansion valve, fluid reservoir and a second evaporator (optional equipment on certain vehicles), refer to Refrigerant Circuit With Expansion Valve, Fluid Reservoir and Second Evaporator .
- Depending on the construction of the A/C service station, check-valves may be installed between the refrigerant circuit and the A/C service station (to guarantee correct direction of refrigerant flow during flushing).
