AIR CONDITIONER
Operation and maintenance

1. COMPONENTS OF AIR CONDITIONING

1. Compressor
D Pressurizes refrigerant and makes it circulate.
D Mounted to front end of diesel engine and driven by it, using a V--belt drive.
2. Magnetic clutch of compressor
D When dead, the clutch lets the compressor idle; when live, it engages the
compressor drive.
D The magnetic clutch is controlled by the thermostat, the pressostat, and the air
conditioning fan switch.
3. Condenser
D Transfers heat to outside air, changing refrigerant vapour into liquid.
D The condenser unit comprises a cell and a fan.
D The condenser is located on the side of the hydraulic oil receiver.
4. Drier
D The purpose of the drier is to remove moisture from the system (danger of
freezing).
D Refrigerant flows through a particle filter and moisture absorbing medium. The
drier is provided with a sight glass in the top cover for checking refrigerant flow.
D The drier must always be replaced if it has been empty longer than 30 minutes; long
exposure to air destroys the drier
5. Pressostat
D Functions as a pressure switch, cutting off electricity to the compressor’s magnetic
clutch if the system pressure drops too low or rises too high.
D Located with the drier in the condenser housing.
6. Evaporator cell
D Absorbs heat and condenses humidity from the ambient air.
D Turns liquid refrigerant into vapour.
D Located in the cabin.
7. Expansion valve
D Regulates the refrigerant flow into the evaporator.
D Located in the evaporator cabin, connected to the line from the drier.
D The valve has a spindle, controlled by a membrane, that regulates the flow to the
evaporator according to a sensor.
D The liquid-filled sensor is connected to the line coming from the evaporator.
D If too much refrigerant flows through the evaporator, the liquid in the sensor cools
down (volume decreases), and the valve closes -- the operation is reversed if too
little refrigerant flows through.

Operation and maintenance

8. Fan
D Blows air through the evaporator into the cabin.
D Located in the evaporator housing in the cabin.
D The fan switch controls the magnetic clutch of the air conditioner compressor; air
conditioning operates only if the fan is in operation.
9. Thermostat
D Controls cabin temperature when air conditioning is on.
D The regulating switch is located on the evaporator housing.
D Controls the operation of compressor magnetic clutch: turns compressor to idle
when the set temperature is reached (cuts off current to magnetic clutch).
10. Heater valve
D The valve is used for regulating the amount of water flowing through the heater cell.
D Located on the heater.
11. Heater cell
D Transfers heat to the cabin air from the hot engine coolant flowing through the cell.
D Located in the evaporator housing in the cabin.
12. Air filter
D Removes dust from the incoming air.
D Located in the evaporator housing outside the cabin.
D The air cleaner should be cleaned with pressurized air and replaced regularly; the
service interval greatly depends on the quality of the surrounding air.
13. Control switch
D The air conditioning system is turned on and off with the control switch located in
the control panel in the cabin.

AIR CONDITIONER
Operation and maintenance

2. OPERATION
The compressor circulates refrigerant R134a in a closed circuit system.
D Refrigerant vapour pressurized by the compressor is led through the condenser
(3). As the temperature of the vapour is higher than the ambient temperature, it
loses heat to the outside air. This loss of heat condenses the vapour to liquid form.
The condenser has a fan (a) to provide necessary cooling.
D The liquid refrigerant flows through the drier (4). Moisture is the severest problem
in air conditioners, and thus it must be removed as completely as possible. Water
will freeze in the circuit!
D Next, the liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion valve (7) to the evaporator
(6). The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator
cell by choking the flow.
D The refrigerant entering the evaporator absorbs heat from the surrounding air. Air
from the cabin is circulated through the evaporator by a fan (8), whereby heat is
absorbed and moisture condenses from the air to the cold surfaces of the
evaporator. Due to its low boiling point, the refrigerant again changes into vapour
in the evaporator.
D Then the refrigerant vapour enters the intake side of the compressor, and the
circulation continues as described above.

3.3. How to make the most of the air conditioner

D Fan speed and air temperature are easily adjustable. Do not use a higher fan
speed than necessary. Always reduce the fan speed first, if you feel that the cabin
temperature is too low, and then adjust the temperature of the incoming air with the
thermostat.
D Adjust the air vents so that the air flow in the cabin feels comfortable. Never direct
the air flow against yourself.
D Keep air recirculation on and the windows closed. In this way, the unit works best,
and you can avoid outside noise, exhaust fumes, dust, etc.
D Do not keep the cabin temperature too low. Remember that your body does not like
great changes in temperature. Adjust the temperature to find the temperature
difference that suits you best. The cabin temperature should not be adjusted more
than 5--7 C lower than the ambient temperature. Adjust the temperature pleasant
for yourself, not according to the thermometer reading. Using the air conditioner
simultaneously with the heater prevents the windows from becoming foggy, as the
air conditioner removes humidity from the air.
D Humid air is heavy to breathe. The air conditioner reduces the air humidity in the
cabin, and you feel more comfortable.

3.4. Periodic maintenance

The system should be checked once a week.
Points to check:
1. Set the engine speed to 1500 rpm.
2. Turn the air conditioner on.
3. Turn the fan and the thermostat to maximum.

3.5. Cold and dry spells, when the unit is rarely used
Start the cooling system, and allow the compressor to run a few minutes once a week, to
keep the connections, sealings, etc. lubricated. If a low--pressure switch is connected to
the system, it must be bypassed if the ambient temperature drops below --1 C.
Otherwise, the compressor will not start.

M
Operation
Air conditioning is switched on with the control switch (1) (located on the top of the device),
provided with an indicator light (2). However, the current to this switch comes through the
fan control switch (3); if the fan is on, the switch (1) also receives current. When the fan
switch (3) is in the 0--position, the air conditioning system does not work, because the the
switch (1) gets no current.
The fan switch (3) has three positions for different speeds. In position 1, the current to the
fan motor (5) goes through the resistor (4), whereas in position 2 only part of the current
goes through the resistor (4), and the fan speed is higher. In position 3, the current flows
directly to the fan motor (5).
When air conditioning is switched on, current flows from switch (1) to the thermostat (6).
The thermostat is used for selecting the desired temperature of the air. If the temperature
rises above the set value, the thermostat closes. The current coming from the thermostat
(6) flows to the pressostat (8). If the system has the required amount of refrigerant
(pressure is sufficient), the pressostat keeps the electric circuit closed, and current flows
to the magnetic clutch (10) of the air conditioner compressor. When live, the clutch
engages the compressor drive; the compressor drive pulley revolves always when the
engine is running, but the compressor will rotate only when the magnetic clutch (in the
pulley) becomes live and engages the drive. When the drive is engaged, the magnetic
clutch in the pulley rotates with it; when the clutch is dead, only the pulley rotates.

2. FILLING OF PUMP UNIT CONTAINER

The capacity of the pump unit tank is 2 kg.
The filling pump (Cf. Fig.) is suitable for greases of NLGI 0–2 grade. The container size
can be 10 – 20 kg. The output of the filling pump is 0.1 kg / pumping stroke.

Filling of pumping unit:

1. Place intermediate cover (10) into tank (18).
2. Fasten tank cover (11) with screws.
3. Install pump unit (12) through tank cover to intermediate cover (10).
4. Fasten filling hose (13) to pump.
5. Let air flow out of pump by holding quick coupling (14) open (e.g. with a screw
driver) while pumping in grease.
6. Connect quick coupling (14) to male coupling (15) on pump unit (1).
7. Operate pump with calm movements (90°), until pumping resistance increases.
8. Turn filling pump lever up (30°) to free the pump.
9. Disconnect quick coupling (14) and fit protective plugs to both parts of quick
coupling.
10. After filling, let pressure out of pump unit (1) by opening bleed screw (16). This is
to ensure the operation of the dispensers.

If excessive power is required to operate the filling pump, check and

clean the filling pump filter. The filter should be cleaned at least once a
year.
CAUTION

The filtering screen (17) of the pump is located in the filling line of the tank. To clean the
filtering screen, remove the quick coupling part (15).

5.5. Wire rope tensioning automatics, tramming forwards

To start unwinding of winch, move the control lever S613 forwards while depressing the
push button of joystick S604 and pushing it forwards. The coils 221a and 227b become
activated. When tramming forwards, the rig’s pulling power draws the wire rope from the
drum 224. The drum rotates the winch motor 225 through the winch drive gear, and the
motor starts operating as a pump. In this situation, the motor pumps oil through the
pressure relief valve 226 to the intake side of the motor. The non--return valve 230 remains
closed as the pressure in the line is greater than the pressure in the output line of the pump
50.

The pump 50 remains at 0 output as its pressure is directed through the directional valve
221, the shuttle valve 231, and the directional valve 227 into the tank. The pump adjuster’s
pressure is set to tank pressure, i.e. close to zero. As a result, the pump’s output line sets
to the stand--by pressure of the pump, e.g. 20 bar.
The adjustment of wire rope tensioning is carried out so that the leak oil from the x line
of the pressure relief valve 226 is directed through the directional valve 227 to the pressure
relief valve 228. The setting of the valve 228 determines the pressure level in the x line.
The valve 226 opens at the same pressure as the pressure relief valve 228 with a set value
of 25--30 bar; the pressure must be higher than the stand--by pressure of the pump. The
pressure gauge 229 indicates the pressure that determines the tensioning of wire rope.
The purpose of the restrictor 232 is to ensure thet the brake 223 is kept released.

5.6. Wire rope tensioning automatics, tramming backwards

To wind the wire rope onto the drum, the lever S613 is moved to the left while depressing
the push button of the joystick S604 and pulling it backwards. The coils 221a and 227a
become activated. When tramming backwards, the winch winds the wire rope in at the
desired speed and force. The pump 50 pumps oil through the directional valve 221 and
the non--return valve 230 to the winch motor 225. Oil returns from the motor to the tank
via the directional valve 221. The winch brake opening pressure is taken from the LS line
through the shuttle valve 231.
The x line of the pressure relief valve 226 is closed as the coil 227a of the valve 227 is
activated. The valve 226 acts as a pressure relief valve for the winch motor 225.
The winch speed is regulated so that a signal is taken from the winch pressure line to the
LS line of the pump through the shuttle valve 231 and the restrictor 232. The LS line has
a connection to the pressure relief valve 228 through the directional valve 227. The output
pressure of the pump is adjusted with the pressure relief valve 228; The output pressure
also affects the winding speed of the winch.
The wire rope tensioning force depends on the tramming speed and of the setting of the
valve 228. In this way, the winch does not pull the rig with full power when wire tensioning
automatics is on.

FLUSHING CONTROL AUTOMATICS RANGER, PANTERA

Operation and maintenance

1. GENERAL

The flushing control automatics enables drilling in areas where rock contains soft and
fragmented layers or mud and clay pockets. When drilling in such a place the drill bit easily
gets blocked. The blocked bit prevents flushing air from cleaning the hole and this leads
to jammed drill steels.

The flushing control automatics constantly monitors flushing; if air flow is insufficient
because of a clogged bit or blocked hole, the drill steels are automatically lifted up until
air flow is normal again and drilling will continue normally. Usually by lifting the steels a
little, the flushing holes in the bit will open and drilling starts again.

Flushing air flows through the venturi tube (1) on its way to the rock drill. The restriction
creates pressure difference for the air flow. The pressure difference switch (S65) is
connected to the venturi tube by hoses. When the drill bit starts to get blocked, the
pressure difference drops and contacts of pressure difference switch will close (switch
setting is 0.1 bar). Now voltage is connected through the closed contact of the switch
(S65) to the coil of the flushing controll valve (240) and the spool moves. The feed pilot
pressure gets to feed direction valve (23) port (c) and feed return starts.

When the flushing holes in the bit open, the pressure difference again increases over 0,1
bar; the pressure difference switch (S65) disconnects the voltage to the flushing control
valve (240) and the spool returns to its original position. The feed pilot pressure gets to
feed direction valve (23) port (d) and feed forwards starts.
