1.2 Refrigeration system
The refrigeration system of the loader circulates in the system by using refrigerant, turns into
gaseous state from liquid state when passing through evaporator and absorbs plenty of latent heat in
cab, then it releases the heat in condenser through compressor and blows off the heat to outside air
through the fan to reduce interior temperature of the cab. It can be divided into five processes:
1. Compression process: compress low temperature and low pressure gas refrigerant flowing
through the evaporator into high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant and covey it to the
condenser.
2. Condensation process: cool the high temperature and high pressure gas refrigerant off to
produce intermediate temperate and high pressure gas refrigerant and convey it to a drying bottle.
3. Drying process: filter intermediate temperate and high pressure gas refrigerant to remove
impurities and water in it, convey it to a throttle valve and store a fraction of refrigerant.
4. Expansion process: transform the filtered intermediate temperate and high pressure gas
refrigerant into low pressure vaporous liquid/gaseous state mixture by taking advantage of throttling
principle, then convey it to the evaporator.
5. Evaporation process: low pressure vaporous liquid/gaseous state mixture flows into the
evaporator, absorbs surrounding heat and vaporizes for the purpose of refrigeration, then draws in
from low pressure intake tube of the compressor to proceed to next cycle and so forth.

indicating start of refrigeration. The temperature sensor detects cab temperature, the indicator lamp
is off and the compressor stops working when the temperature falls to required temperature,
temperature in the cab at present is set temperature. When indoor temperature exceeds this
temperature, the indicator lamp is on, the compressor starts automatically and the system starts
refrigeration; when indoor temperature is lower than this temperature, the indicator lamp is off and
the system stops working;

2. Correct steps of starting air conditioner system: turn off air volume switch of evaporator fan and
adjust refrigeration knob to 0 position before starting the engine; first turn on air volume switch of
evaporator fan and then adjust refrigeration knob after starting the engine.
3. Models with air conditioner filter element shall be cleaned on a regular basis according to
operating condition. Clean the filter element when the air volume reduces significantly. Filter
element replacement is recommended when the air volume still reduces significantly after cleaning
filter element.
4. To guarantee refrigeration performance of air conditioner, clean condenser core on a regular basis
to keep the condenser clean and give full play to its heat dissipation performance.
5. Refrigerant charging shall be completed by professionals in accordance with specified process.
6. LG918 and higher level SDLG loaders provide reserved installation interface of air conditioner
and supporting optional air conditioner modules for users.
7. Reserved power interface must be used when installing the air conditioner system, do not alter
original circuit without authorization.
8. Do not remove sealing elements mounted at pipeline joints of the new reservoir before
connecting pipeline to protect service life of the air conditioner system from being affected by dryer
failure.
9. Try not to dissemble pipeline and discharge refrigerant when repairing parts of the air conditioner
system. Repairable parts are not recommended to be replaced. The assembly is not recommended to
be replaced if secondary parts can be replaced. Parts maintenance and replacement should be
operated in strict accordance with technological requirements, otherwise secondary failures may be
caused.

and turn on the pressure gauge knob. Vacuumize it
on high and low pressure sides simultaneously again
for 15 to 20 minutes. In case of high ambient
humidity (rainy days), extend vacuumizing by 20-30
minutes.
f) Maintain pressure again. Turn off the knob
switch of pressure gauge and then the vacuum pump
to maintain pressure for 5 minutes.

refrigerant, the integrated high and low pressure gauge indicates almost equal high and low
pressure. Deal with it by replacing the compressor or dissembling it for repairing.
Following items shall be noted when overhauling the refrigeration system
1. Wear protective glasses or face shield as far as possible during overhaul. Wear gloves to
prevent refrigerant from spilling on the skin and causing skin frostbite.
2. First switch off the diesel engine, then connect the integrated high and low pressure gauge to
the compressor for detection.
3. Do not touch hot and moving parts of the diesel engine
4. Ensure that system joints and inner chamber are clean when replacing components for the
system. Paint seal ring of the joints with a layer of refrigerator oil before pipeline mounting.
Use a torque wrench when tightening pipeline joints. Tightening torque is as shown in the table
below. Supplement refrigerator oil when replacing parts and components for the system.
