5.1 Important instructions for working with
the A/C Service station
For operating the A/C service stations (currently available A/C
service positions see ⇒ Catalogue of factory equipment ) the fol-
lowing must be observed:
- The installed filters and dessicators must be replaced at the
latest after reaching the operating time specified in the related
operating instructions.
- If the A/C service station is also used for the flushing of the
refrigerant circuit, the installed filters and dessicators must be
replaced within short periods of time.
- Only fill in refrigerant oils which are approved for the refrigerant
circuit specifically designed for vehicles.
- If there is any doubt about the composition of the refrigerant,
the refrigerant which was suctioned out of the refrigerant cir-
cuit must not be re-used even after it has been cleaned in the
A/C service station.
• In this case the A/C service station must be drained
⇒ page 41 , if necessary the system must be cleaned, the
filters and the dessicators as well as the filled-in refrigerant oil
must be replaced.
• Contaminated refrigerant can be returned to the supplier of the
refrigerant, e.g. in the Federal Republic of Germany, in so-
called recycling bottles for preparation or ecological disposal
(different or additional directives may apply in certain coun-
tries).
The commercially available A/C service stations can be sub-divi-
ded into 2 groups:
♦ A/C service stations which clean drained refrigerant for re-use
(so-called extraction and recycling stations).
♦ A/C service stations which fill drained refrigerant into recycling
bottles (in order to then treat it commercially), these systems
are known as extraction systems.
