The coolant vapor will be compressed by the compressor as the high-temperature, 
high-pressure gas which enters into the condenser. In the condenser, the coolant is cooled by 
the ambient air, and condensed into the fluid after emitting its heat outwards, then the 
moisture content is filtered and removed from the fluid via the fluid reservoir. The 
high-temperature, high-pressure coolant fluid is throttled down through the expansion valve 
(installed in the inlet pipe of evaporator) to reduce its pressure and temperature, and then the 
fluid enters into the evaporator. The low-temperature and low-pressure coolant fluid also 
absorb the heat from the inside of vehicle, and gasifies again to the low-temperature and 
low-pressure coolant vapor, and then is inhaled into the compressor. In such a manner, the 
coolant cycles recurrently to make the indoor temperature of vehicle reduce. The pipelines 
for coolant are shown in the figure below:
 

2. Heating system   It adopts the engine coolant as the heat source and introduces the 
coolant into the radiator located at the compartment to heat the indoor air via the blower, and, 
at the same time, it is also used to defrost and defog the front windscreen.Chery A15LHD’s 
air conditioning unit adopts the reheating mixed type unit, the heating system of which is 
used not only to individually heat the circulating air from the inside of vehicle or the fresh air 
from the outside, but also to firstly cool these two kinds of airs and then heat the whole or 
part to obtain the air temperature required. It is available to dehumidify the air, and also to 
filter the air so as to get the clean air with desired humidity.

3. Ventilation system   Apart from the cool and heat the air inside the vehicle, the 
centrifugal blower is also used to change and ventilate the air inside the vehicle. The 
ventilation system consists of the air filter, air inlet, air duct, vent and etc. The system 
introduces the fresh air from the outside of vehicle into the inside while the ventilation and 
discharge port extracts the vitiated air from the inside to the outside. Chery A15LHD adopts 
the natural ventilation and forced ventilation. The open/close fresh air inlet is controlled by 
the fresh/circulating air vacuum valve. 

During the natural ventilation, the fresh air enters into the vehicle from the air inlet fixed 
under the front windscreen (positive pressure area), and gets into the trunk from the seat belt 
notch on the trunk cover, then passes across the vents (negative pressure area) on the body 
rear skirt, trunk lining, rear side beam and finally discharges to the atmosphere. Due to the 
movement of air in the rear body compartment, it plays a good role to defrost the rear 
windows. In addition, the whole process is conducted without pressure, so the air changing 
doesn’t create any noise and has nothing with the driving speed. 

And during the forced ventilation, in case that the fresh air doesn’t pass through the heating 
radiator (the mixed gate closed) after the air is pressurized by the blower, the air will enter 

into the vehicle via all air ducts, and then discharge along the same route as that of natural 
ventilation to the atmosphere.

4. Control system   The control system mainly consist of the electrical component, vacuum 
hose and control mechanism. On one side, it is available to control the temperature and 
pressure of refrigeration and heating system, and, on the other side, it is also used to control 
the temperature of air inside the vehicle, the blowing rate and direction. 

5. Air purification system   The air purification system mainly indicates the dust filter, 
which is used to filter the outside air inhaled, and continuously discharge the vitiated air 
generated inside the vehicle to make the air inside the vehicle clean and hygienic.

REFILLING OF REFRIGERANT AND REFRIGERANT OIL 

Caution: 

· If there are some moist materials or other 
foreign materials circulating in the 
refrigeration system, the cooling 
performance of the refrigeration system will 
considerably decrease and generate the 
abnormal noise. So, after any refrigeration 
and circulation part is removed, the 
openings shall be immediately plugged to 
avoid the entrance of moist materials or 
other foreign materials. 

· If the service reservoir is used to refill the 
refrigerant, it is very dangerous to open the 
valve located at engine high pressure side. 
During the operation, the pressure inside the 
service reservoir will rise, which may cause 
the explosion of the reservoir, what’s more, 
the metal fragment from explosion and the 
refrigerant sputtered will be serious harmful 
to the operators. Thus, it is recommended to 
pay more attention to the close of the 
high-pressure-side valve during the course 
of engine operation. 

Caution: 

· Take care not to exceed the starndard 
value(s) specified in the technical 
specification during refilling the

 

refrigerant 

into the refrigeration system. If exceeding 
the standard values, it will considerably 
reduce the efficiency of the A/C system, and 
even damage the refrigerant recirculation 
parts. 

· In accordance with the regulation, the 
refrigerant shall be refilled from the 
high-pressure side at all time. If it is refilled 
from the low-pressure side, the valve leaf of 
A/C compressor will loosen and give off the 
abnormal noise.
