7.33 AIR CONDITIONING*
The air conditioning system is a recirculating air system. The major
items include: evaporator, condenser, compressor, blower, switches and
temperature controls.
The evaporator is located behind the left rear side of the baggage com-
partment. This cools the air that is used for air conditioning.
The condenser is mounted on a retractable scoop located on the bottom
of the fuselage and to the rear of the baggage compartment area. The scoop
extends when the air conditioner is ON and retracts toa flush position when
the system is OFF.
The compressor is mounted on the forward right underside of the
engine. It has an electric clutch which automatically engages or disengages
the compressor to the belt drive system of the compressor.
An electrical blower is mounted on the aft side of the rear cabin panel.
Air from the baggage area is drawn through the evaporator by the blower
and distributed through an overhead duct to individual outlets located
adjacent to each occupant.
The switches and temperature control are located on the lower right side
of the instrument panel in the climate control center panel. The temperature
control regulates the desired temperature of the cabin. Turn the control
clockwise for increased cooling, counterclockwise for decreased cooling.
