DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

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
compartment. 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 to a 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.
Located
inboard
of
the temperature control
is
the fan speed switch and
the
air
conditioning ON-OFF switch. The fan can be operated independently
of
the
air
conditioning. However, it must be
on
for
air
conditioner operation.
Turning either switch off will disengage the compressor clutch
and
retract
the condenser door. Cooling
air
should be felt within one minute after the air
conditioner
is
turned on.
NOTE
If the system
is
not operating in 5 minutes,
turn
the system
OFF
until the fault
is
corrected.
