Dryer Cartridge, Removing And Installing, DENSO Condenser: Removing
Remove the condenser until the dryer cartridge closure is reachable without loosening the respective refrigerant lines on the condenser. Refer to CONDENSER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
Continuation For All Vehicles:
-- Check the refrigerant circuit pressure with the pressure gauge on an A/C service station. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, DISCHARGING WITH A/C SERVICE STATION (R134a) / REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, EVACUATING WITH A/C SERVICE STATION (R134a) / REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CHARGING WITH A/C SERVICE STATION (R134a) (Refrigerant R134a Servicing, Refrigerant Circuit, Working with A/C Service Station) or REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, DISCHARGING (R1234yf) / REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, EVACUATING (R1234yf) / REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CHARGING (R1234yf) .
Danger Due To Refrigerant Coming Out Under Pressure.
Danger of frost bite to skin and other parts of the body.
- Evacuate the refrigerant and immediately open the refrigerant circuit afterward.
- If more than 10 minutes have elapsed since evacuating the refrigerant and the refrigerant circuit was not opened, evacuate the refrigerant again. Pressure in the refrigerant circuit is caused by evaporation.
-- Remove the plug -A-.
-- Remove the dryer carrier -C- with the dryer cartridge -D- upward from the condenser.
-- Remove the filter element -E- upward from the condenser using, for example, a pick-up tool.
-- Seal the open receiver/dryer with the plug -A- to prevent dirt and moisture from getting in.
