    1.1 Purpose 
     
    The purpose of this System Service Manual is to provide detailed instructions for 
    the servicing, troubleshooting, checking and maintaining of the Air Comm 
    Corporation, Inc. air conditioning systems using R134a refrigerant.  It is intended 
    to be used for all Air Comm Corporation air conditioning systems using R134a 
    refrigerant that do not contain separate maintenance instructions.  The System 
    Service Manual supplements the Maintenance Manual supplied by Air Comm 
    Corporation for your particular aircraft type.  For the latest revision of this 
    document, please visit www.aircommcorp.com. 
     
    1.2 Scope 
     
    The scope of the System Service Manual provides the maintenance technician 
    with detailed information covering: 
     
    -  Overall system level description and theory of operation. 
     
    -  Component level description and theory of operation. 
     
    -  System level checking and troubleshooting procedures. 
     
    -  Procedures for servicing the air conditioning system refrigerant. 
     
    -  The identification of special equipment to accomplish the specific tasks. 
     
    1.3 Arrangement 
     
    This System Service Manual is arranged similar to Air Transport Association 
    (ATA) Specification 100 and provides general servicing and maintenance 
    instructions.

    2.0  AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM – SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 
     
    2.1  Vapor Cycle System Description 
     
    The Air Comm Corporation, (ACC), vapor cycle air conditioning system uses 
    liquid refrigerant R134a to cool the aircraft cabin.  The major components for the 
    R134a air conditioning system consist of a receiver/dryer, expansion valve, 
    evaporator, compressor and condenser to cool the aircraft cabin.   Figure 1 
    shows an operational schematic of the air conditioning system. 
     
    The receiver/drier stores liquid R134a refrigerant under pressure.  The drier 
    portion of the assembly removes any traces of moisture that may have 
    accumulated in the system.  Liquid refrigerant flows from the receiver drier 
    through the expansion valve where the refrigerant pressure is reduced, allowing 
    it to spray into the evaporator.  At the same time, a blower driven by an electric 
    motor passes air over the evaporator.  This air is cooled since heat is removed 
    from the air by the evaporation of the refrigerant in the evaporator.  The 
    evaporator produces water due to condensation.  This water drains overboard 
    through a line attached to the evaporator cover. 
     
    The refrigerant leaves the evaporator as a gas.  This gas is pumped by the 
    compressor, raising its pressure and temperature.  This high temperature gas 
    then flows to the condenser.  Cooling air, driven by another electric blower motor, 
    passes over the condenser, cooling and therefore condensing the refrigerant to a 
    liquid.  The liquid refrigerant then enters the receiver/drier, repeating the process. 
     
    The plumbing which connects the compressor, condenser and the evaporators, 
    consists of rubber based hoses with a nylon barrier.  The fittings are permanently 
    swaged onto the hoses. Some systems that have been converted from R12 to 
    R134a refrigerant use Barb Lok hose fittings.  Fittings are either o-ring type or 
    use flared connections.  Sealant is used on the fitting mating surfaces to prevent 
    refrigerant leaks.  Two R134a service valves are sized differently to avoid 
    incorrect cross-connecting when gaining access to the plumbing for system 
    recharging. 
     
    The compressor on ACC air conditioning systems is driven either by an electrical 
    motor, or by the engine.  Listed below is a more detailed description of electric 
    and engine driven compressor systems.
