Engine Bus Air Conditioning Maintenance Note

Engine Bus Air Conditioning Maintenance
The working environment of automotive air conditioning systems is extremely harsh. Long-term vibration and corrosion can cause system leaks and decreased reliability. The compressor is a high-speed operating device in the air conditioning system. Wear and tear on high-speed rotating parts will reduce compressor performance. Simultaneously, the wear debris can contaminate the refrigerant oil, clog the system, and cause compressor and system malfunctions. Therefore, regular routine maintenance is essential. Today, let's look at the maintenance items and methods for traditional bus air conditioning systems.

2.3 Belt—Check belt tension and wear.
2.4 Bolts—Tighten any loose bolts.
2.5 Electromagnetic Clutch – Check if the clutch engages normally when the air conditioner is on; check if the clutch disengages normally when the air conditioner is off; check for severe burning, abnormal noise, oil stains, etc. on the electromagnetic clutch; replace or clean the oil stains.
3. Condenser
3.1 Clean and remove contaminants from the condenser core
3.2 Check if the fan motor is operating normally.
4. Evaporator
4.1 Clean and remove contaminants from the evaporator core
4.2 Check if the fan motor is operating normally

4.4 Clean the fresh air damper filter 
4.5 Clean the return air grille filter.
5. Electrical System
5.1 Check if the wire clamps and plugs are loose
5.2 Check the condition of electrical components and fuses in the electrical control box
5.3 Test the high-pressure and low-pressure operation of the pressure switch.
6. Engine
6.1 Check the discharge capacity of the battery
6.2 Check the belt tension and wear 
6.3 Check the engine speed and whether there is insufficient power when the compressor is working
6.4 Test the voltage at the generator output terminal. 
7. Compressor tensioner bearing – Check if the tensioning rotation is normal.
8. Air purifier – Clean the surface of the purifier.
