Removal

   

• When working on high voltage system, the work should be performed by technicians who have completed the relevant training. A lack of understanding of the high voltage system can lead to serious accidents due to electric shock or electric leakage.

• When working a high voltage system, the technician must be observed and aware of "High Voltage System General Safety Information and Caution". If not, it may cause serious accidents such as electric shock or short circuit.

• When working on high voltage system, make sure to check the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and high voltage shut-off procedures.

1.Disconnect the battery negative ( - ) terminal and the service interlock connector.(Refer to Battery Control System - "Auxiliary 12 V Battery - 2WD")(Refer to Battery Control System - "Auxiliary 12 V Battery - 4WD")

2.Recover the refrigerant with recovery/recycling/charging equipment.(Refer to Air Conditioning - "Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging/Evacuation")

3.When the motor is cooled, the coolant is drained from the radiator.(Refer to Cooling System - "Coolant")

4.Remove the front trunk.(Refer to Body - "Front Trunk")

5.Disconnect the expansion valve connector (A).

6.Disconnect the 3-way valve connector (A).

7.Remove the water condenser wiring clip (A).

8.Separate the suction & liquid tube assembly (A) after removing the nuts.

Tightening torque : 8.8 - 13.7 N·m (0.9 - 1.4 kgf·m, 6.5 - 10.1 lb·ft)

9.Separate the liquid hose after removing the nut (A).

Tightening torque : 8.8 - 13.7 N·m (0.9 - 1.4 kgf·m, 6.5 - 10.1 lb·ft)

10.Separate the suction hose 1 (A) after removing the nut.

Tightening torque : 8.8 - 13.7 N·m (0.9 - 1.4 kgf·m, 6.5 - 10.1 lb·ft)

11.Disconnect the water condenser hose (A).

12.Remove the bolts (A) from the water condenser.

13.Remove the water condenser (A) after removing the nut.

Installation

   

• When working on high voltage system, the work should be performed by technicians who have completed the relevant training. A lack of understanding of the high voltage system can lead to serious accidents due to electric shock or electric leakage.

• When working a high voltage system, the technician must be observed and aware of "High Voltage System General Safety Information and Caution". If not, it may cause serious accidents such as electric shock or short circuit.

• When working on high voltage system, make sure to check the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and high voltage shut-off procedures.

1.Install in reverse order of removal.

   

Be sure to inject the specified refrigerant (R-1234yf) and refrigeration oil (POE) by using the refrigerant recovery/charging equipment dedicated to the electric compressor. Compressor damage and safety accidents may occur if refrigeration oil (PAG) of general vehicles is mixed.

   

• If a new condenser is installed, replenish the compressor oil (POE OIL).

• Replace the O-rings at each connection with new ones, and apply a few drops of compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to the O-rings before connecting hoses or lines. To avoid leakage of R-1234yf, use the specified O-ring.

• Charge the refrigerant system and test the air conditioner performance.
