CONDENSER.
The condenser is mounted in a frame assembly located in the bottom of the fuselage between stations
156.00 and 191.00.
CONDENSER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL.
1. Discharge the system. (See Special Servicing Procedures and Discharging.)
2. Remove access panel from the aft bulkhead of cabin.
3. Remove the forward cover panel.
4. Uncouple the suction and discharge hoses at the condenser fitting. (See Special Servicing Procedures,
B-7.) Remove the hose clamps holding the hoses to the condenser frame.
5. Remove the AN-3 bolts from the upper ends of the side hinges and rod ends.
6. Support the condenser assembly and remove the bolt attaching the actuating rod to the condenser
assembly.
7. Lower the aft end of the assembly on the piano hinge at the forward end of assembly.
8. Remove the eight screws attaching the piano hinge to the condenser frame assembly and remove from
aircraft.
9. To remove condenser core from assembly, remove the screws in the side mounting frame.
CONDENSER INSTALLATION.
1. Install the condenser core to the frame assembly with the hose fitting forward and up.
2. Place the condenser and frame assembly to the fuselage frame mounting bracket and insert the screws
into the piano hinge.
3. Attach the side hinges and actuating rod and rig per Condenser Assembly Rigging Instructions.
4. Seal and couple the hose fittings (seal with Loctite refrigerant sealant applied to flanges only).
5. Adjust the condenser in accordance with Condenser Assembly Rigging Instructions.
6. Seal all around forward cover panel (and aft cover panel if removed) with Permagum Bead No. 576
purchased from Prestolite Engineering Company. (See Figure 21-17.)
Whenever it is necessary to remove and replace the cabin rear
panel, it should be replaced and sealed in the original manner to
prevent exhaust gases from entering the cabin. After removing
and replacing the rear panel, conduct a carbon monoxide test on
ground and in flight with and without the air conditioner
operating. Presence of CO2 shall not exceed 1 part in 20,000.
CONDENSER DOOR ACTUATOR.
The actuator is on a bracket mounted between two bulkheads in the tail cone. It is coupled to the condenser
assembly through a bellcrank mounted to a bracket on the bulkhead aft of the condenser. The actuator travel is
controlled by two limit switches. Both the up and down switches are located on the actuator. (Refer to Figure
21-17 for the switch locations.)
