Remove the desiccant (A) from the condenser using a long
nose plier. Check for crumbled desiccant and clogged bottom cap filter.
3.
Apply air conditioning compressor oil along the O-rings and threads of the new bottom cap.
4.
Insert a new desiccant into the receiver drier tank. The
desiccant must be sealed in vacuum before it is exposed to air for use.
5.
Install the new bottom cap to the condenser.
•
Always replace the desiccant and bottom cap at the same time.
•
Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a
thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the
right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.
•
Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
•
Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
•
Charge the system, and test its performance.
[With Heat Pump]
•
Be sure to read and follow the “General Safety Information
and Caution” before doing any work related with the high voltage
system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious
electrical injuries.
•
Be sure to shut off the high voltage before doing any work
related with the high voltage system(Refer to "High Voltage Shut-off
Procedure"). Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in
serious electrical injuries.
1.
Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/ recycling/ charging station.
•
Do not use the same A/C recovery / charging station as conventional belt-driven compressors.
•
Since the electric compressor uses high-voltage, you should use POE oil which have high volumetric resistivity.
•
If PAG oil mixes into the POE oil of the system, dielectric
breakdown may occur due to decreased volumetric resistivity and the A/C
compressor may not work.
2.
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
3.
Shut off the high voltage circuit. (Refer to EV Battery System - "High Voltage Shut-off Procedure")
4.
Remove the front bumper cover.
(Refer to Body - "Front Bumper Cover")
5.
Remove the receiver-drier (A) after loosening the mounting bolts.
6.
Install in the reverse order of removal.
7.
Apply air conditioning compressor oil along the O-rings and threads of the new bottom cap.
8.
Insert a new desiccant into the receiver drier tank. The desiccant must be sealed in vacuum before it is exposed to air for use.
9.
Install the new bottom cap to the condenser.
•
Always replace the desiccant and bottom cap at the same time.
•
Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a
thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the
right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.
•
Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
•
Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
Inspection
1.
Check the condenser fins for clogging and damage. If clogged,
clean them with water, and blow them with compressed air. If bent,
gently bend them using a screwdriver or pliers.

Rapid charge charges the battery using high voltage on a quick charge stand.
The electric power goes directly to the battery through the
rapid charge port. To protect the battery, it is charged up to 84% in
the first charge, and this can be recharged upto 95% in the second
