2.0 R12 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SUBTASK 21-00-22-99F-006
2.1 General:
2.1.1 The air conditioning system installed on the Pilatus PC12 Aircraft is not considered a
primary flight system. However, an air conditioning system does perform the important
function of providing passenger and flight crew comfort during aircraft movement on the
ground and while in flight. Aircraft air conditioning systems not only provide effective
passenger cooling, but must also maintain a high level of reliability to minimize aircraft
downtime due to unscheduled repairs.
2.1.2 In order to ensure component reliability and achieve a long service life for which the system
is designed, periodic inspection and preventive maintenance must be performed. Failure to
complete periodic inspections, service, or maintenance schedules may reduce product life
and potentially void manufacturer’s warranty.
2.1.3 Inspections, servicing, and/or maintenance schedules are presented in the following
sections. This will ensure component and/or system reliability and performance are
maintained when performed at the specified intervals.
WARNING: SERVICE TECHNICIANS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVE STANDARD SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS, SUCH AS WEARING PERSONAL SAFETY GEAR, TO PREVENT INJURY WHILE
PERFORMING SERVICE TO THE UNIT. LIQUID REFRIGERANT CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE AND/OR
BLINDNESS.
WARNING: PROPER VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. KEEP REFRIGERANTS AND OILS AWAY FROM
OPEN FLAMES. REFRIGERANTS CAN PRODUCE POISONOUS GASSES IN THE PRESENCE OF A
FLAME. WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA AND AVOID BREATHING REFRIGERANT /LUBRICANT
VAPOR MIST IF ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OCCURS.
WARNING: AVOID USE OF COMPRESSED AIR. DO NOT INTRODUCE COMPRESSED AIR OR
OXYGEN INTO AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM OR REFRIGERANT CONTAINER. R12 IN THE
PRESENCE OF AIR OR OXYGEN ABOVE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MAY FORM A COMBUSTIBLE
MIXTURE.
2.1.4 Do not discharge R12 refrigerant into the atmosphere. Although its ozone depletion
potential is zero, it can have an effect on global warming. In the United States recovery and
recycling are mandated by the Clean Air Act.

2.1.5 Refrigerant recovery/recycling service equipment must be approved for use with R12
refrigerant. Recycling machines must be approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and
meet SAE standard J2210 and SAE standard J2099 for refrigerant purity.
SUBTASK 21-00-22-99F-007
2.2 System Description and Operation:
2.2.1 The cabin cooling system installed in the Pilatus PC12 Aircraft operates using a closed
vapor cycle concept using refrigerant R12 as the heat absorption media. The R12 air
conditioning system cools the aircraft in a similar manner as systems found in an
automobile or home. However, aircraft air conditioning systems contain components which
are designed to be light weight, compact, provide high performance, and provide the ability
to operate at extreme altitudes and ambient temperatures.
2.2.2 The concept of air conditioning a room, cabin or cockpit is straight forward. An example of a
system is shown in Figure 2 (refer to Schematic and Wiring Diagrams, Section 4).
Refrigerant is the media which absorbs and rejects the room or cabin heat. By continuous
recirculation of the warm cabin air, heat is absorbed in the evaporator module(s) and is
rejected to the outside through the system condenser. When the system is turned on, the
electric motor drives the R12 compressor at a constant speed and capacity which
compresses the R12 refrigerant gas to a high pressure. The hot, high pressure gas then
passes through the condenser coil where it is cooled and condensed into a warm liquid at
constant pressure. The warm liquid is then routed into a receiver-dryer container where the
liquid and any remaining gas are separated and any moisture is absorbed. The warm, dry
liquid is then directed to the evaporator module expansion valve where the high pressure
liquid is expanded to a low pressure. The expansion process creates a super cool gas
which passes through the evaporator coil and absorbs heat from the warm cabin air passing
over the coils. The warm low pressure refrigerant then enters the R12 compressor where
the process starts all over again. In addition to cooling the cabin air, a refrigerant type
system also removes a large percentage of the moisture in the air as well as removing dust
and pollen particles in the air. Thus, the system conditions the air as well as cooling it. As a
safety feature, the unit is also equipped with a binary pressure switch. This switch prevents
the unit from operating if the discharge pressure becomes excessively high. The switch
also prevents the unit from operating if the internal pressure is very low due to leakage or
low ambient temperatures.

Receiver Dryer Assembly
Binary Pressure Switch
2.3.3.1 COMPRESSOR DRIVE MOTOR: The compressor drive motor has a double-ended
shaft and operates on 27.5 VDC power with a rated current draw of 115 AMPS max.
One output shaft drives the R12 compressor and the other end drives the motor
cooling fan. The motor design power is 3.2 HP at 5000-5250 RPM and is specially
designed to provide a high starting torque to overcome the compressor startup
requirements. The motor is a brush commutated permanent magnet design and was
selected for its efficiency, excellent controllability, long life, and low vibration. The
shaft is supported on high speed ball bearings for reliability and friction reduction.
2.3.3.2 COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY: The compressor assembly contains an R12
compressor and 5.01 inch pitch diameter pulley assembly. The compressor also
features a five piston wobble plate design as well as anti-slugging features that
eliminate the need for a suction trap/accumulator. The compressor has a light-weight

2.3.3.3 CONDENSER COIL ASSEMBLY: The condenser coil assembly is a copper tube and
aluminum fin configuration with 6061-T6 aluminum support brackets. The coil heat
rejection is 26,000 BTUH based on a 117°F ambient day. Condenser cooling airflow
and coil sizes are based on the design cooling capacity and compressor input
horsepower. This assembly requires an airflow of 900 CFM for proper operation.
2.3.3.4 RECEIVER DRYER ASSEMBLY: The receiver-dryer assembly consists of a
refrigerant container, Schrader valve, high pressure charging port and a binary
pressure switch. The receiver-dryer is constructed of aluminum alloy and contains a
standpipe, wire filter, and desiccant. The receiver dryer assembly is provided with a
corrosion resistant baked enamel finish. The receiver volume is approximately 40
cubic inches and can store up to 1.8 pounds of refrigerant at 240 PSIG. The Schrader
valve located in the container inlet port allows for the binary pressure switch to be
removed without venting the system refrigerant charge.
2.3.3.5 BINARY PRESSURE SWITCH: The binary pressure switch performs two major
functions. The first function prevents the R12 compressor from operating if the
system charge is lost or the ambient temperature is too low. The second function
stops the compressor from operating if the head pressure increases to an unsafe
level. The high pressure cutout is at 305 PSIG on rise and the low pressure cutout is
at 22 PSIG falling.
2.3.4 The EVAPORATOR MODULE ASSEMBLY (PN 1250200-42 (L) /-43 (C,R)) has a rated
cooling capacity of 7000 BTUH at an ambient air temperature of 80° F (db), and 50% RH
(relative humidity). The assembly provides an air flow of 200 CFM (cubic feet per minute) in
order to maintain these performance specifications.
2.3.5 The Evaporator Module Assembly is packaged to meet the aircraft installation requirements
and contains the following major components (refer to Figure 10002):
Coil Assembly
Blower Motor
Blower Wheel
Blower Scroll
Expansion Valve
Evaporator Housing
2.3.5.1 COIL ASSEMBLY: The evaporator coil assembly contains the evaporator coil,
mounting hardware, and refrigerant plumbing connections. The coil is constructed of

2.3.5.2 BLOWER MOTOR: The blower motor (1250210-1) operates on 24 VDC with a
current draw of 5 amps and has a design RPM of 5225. The blower motor is a four
brush design with an integrated controller and was selected for its efficiency, excellent
controllability, long life and low vibration at high speeds. The motor has two speeds,
low speed designed for the heating recirculation requirement and high speed
designed for maximum system cooling.
2.3.5.3 BLOWER WHEEL: The blower wheel is the component that is used in concert with
the blower motor and provides for the movement of air. It is made of light weight
aluminum that provides superior strength and durability.
2.3.5.4 BLOWER SCROLL: The blower scroll is constructed of high impact, fire retardant,
self extinguishing, and corrosion resistant, lightweight polycarbonate material . It is
nickel plated to give it superior strength and durability qualities. The blower scroll has
successfully passed blower wheel containment testing.
2.3.5.5 EXPANSION VALVE: The expansion valve is an automatic thermostatic type. The
valve provides the proper refrigerant flow while maintaining constant return gas
superheat at all evaporator heat load conditions. Controlling the evaporator
refrigerant flow based on cooling demand prevents coil freeze up. This allows the
system cooling capacity to best meet transient aircraft heat load demands.
2.3.5.6 EVAPORATOR HOUSING: The evaporator housing is constructed of high impact, fire
retardant, self extinguishing, and corrosion resistant, lightweight polycarbonate
material.

Verify that there is a distinct and noticeable change in sound of blower motor when changing
from low to high speed positions. This indicates that the cockpit selector switch is functioning
properly and that the blower motor is responding accordingly.
Verify that there is a smooth transition when changing from low to high speed positions, and
that there is no excessive noise or vibration coming from the blower motor during the change.
Excessive noise could indicate that the blower wheel is rubbing against the blower scroll.
3.3.3 If there is excessive noise and/or vibration coming from blower motor/wheel assembly
during this test, please refer to Fault Isolation, Section 3.6, Disassembly procedures in
section 5 and Inspection procedures in section 7.
3.3.4 Verify that the system is cooling properly. If not, the expansion valve(s) might need
aligning. Refer to Special Procedures, Section 12, for Expansion Valve Alignment
procedures.

3.4 System Leak Check Testing Procedure:
3.4.1 A leak check of the refrigerant plumbing system is important to ensure the system maintains
its charge to provide the designed performance and reduce damage to system components.
A periodic check of the system charge is required to determine if any loss of refrigerant has
occurred.
3.4.2 A system leak check is required any time one or more of the following conditions occur:
New system plumbing installation
Component replacement in the plumbing system
Line or hose rupture
3.4.3 Special Tools and/or Equipment Required:
Gaseous dry nitrogen, regulated source (0-500 psig)
R12 refrigerant charging manifold with gauges and hoses (low pressure gauge, 0-300 PSIG),
(high pressure gauge, 0-600 PSIG)
Leak check fluid (soap solution), (Spec MS-SNOOP-GAL)
Assorted hand tools
Hand and eye protection
Thread sealant primer, PN 7471 (Loctite)
Thread sealant, PN 569 (loctite)
Hose adapter (1/2 in. male acme to ¼ in. female flare)

3.4.3.1 Remove, if required, all panels, doors, shrouds, etc, to gain access to
system/component being leak checked (refer to aircraft maintenance manual).
3.4.3.2 Remove, if required, any enclosures or access doors to expose all tubing, hoses,
fittings, etc. to the system components.
3.4.3.3 Verify all plumbing connections are tight.
3.4.3.4 Verify that power is removed from aircraft. If it is not practical to remove aircraft
power, technician must pull and collar applicable circuit breakers.
CAUTION: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE (RED) IS CONNECTED TO PORT MARKED “D” AND THE LOW
PRESSURE HOSE (BLUE) IS CONNECTED TO THE SERVICE PORT MARKED “S”. INCORRECT
CONNECTION COULD RESULT IN MANIFOLD DAMAGE AND/OR INCORRECT PRESSURE READINGS.
3.4.3.5 Remove service port caps from the A/C system. Service ports are located on the
compressor.
3.4.3.6 Close all manifold gauge valves and verify hose connections are tight.
3.4.3.7 Connect R12 refrigerant charging manifold. R12 service gauges contain quick-
connect fittings to minimize refrigerant loss. To install quick-connect, push on firmly
until locked (a "clicking" sound is heard). Hold the grip ring and pull to remove quick-
connect fittings.
3.4.3.8 Connect yellow charging hose to a regulated dry nitrogen source
NOTE: An adapter is required to connect yellow charging hose to the nitrogen source.
CAUTION: APPLY NITROGEN PRESSURE SLOWLY DURING THIS PROCEDURE OR DAMAGE TO
SYSTEM COULD RESULT.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED 200 PSIG NITROGEN PRESSURE DURING PROCEDURE OR DAMAGE TO
EXPANSION VALVE WILL RESULT.
3.4.3.9 Slowly regulate nitrogen source to a pressure of 200 PSIG maximum.
3.4.3.10 Slowly open high pressure (red) manifold valve and allow system pressure to increase
gradually until a pressure of 200 psig is achieved. Allow time for system pressure to
equalize across expansion valve and note final system pressure.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY LEAK DYE IN R12 SYSTEM OR DAMAGE TO SYSTEM MAY RESULT.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN PLUMBING CONNECTIONS. STRIPPED THREADS OR CRACKED
FLARES MAY RESULT.
3.4.3.11 Apply soapy leak check fluid to each fitting connection. If leaks are detected, attempt
to tighten fitting without over tightening. If leak cannot be corrected with tightening,
system must be evacuated (refer to Servicing, Section 13) and then fitting must be
disconnected and new thread sealant applied.

3.4.3.12 Using a wire brush and cleaning solvent, completely remove old thread sealant. Apply
a thin layer of thread sealant primer to fitting threads.
CAUTION: WHEN APPLYING THREAD SEALANT, TAKE EXTREME CARE TO KEEP SEALANT OFF
FIRST 2 OR 3 THREADS.
3.4.3.13 Apply Loctite thread sealant on all male fitting threads sparingly.
CAUTION: WHEN APPLYING R12 OIL TO FLARE AND O-RING, TAKE EXTREME CARE TO KEEP OIL
AWAY FROM FITTING THREADS
3.4.3.14 Apply a light coating of R12 refrigerant oil to flare and/or o-ring to prevent metal galling
or o-ring damage.
3.4.3.15 Tighten joints as required to stop leaks (refer to Table 1, Section 1.3 for torque
values).
CAUTION: VENT SYSTEM PRESSURE VERY SLOWLY TO ASSURE COMPRESSOR OIL IS NOT
VENTED WITH THE NITROGEN. DO NOT LET AIR ENTER THE SYSTEM.
3.4.3.16 After leak check is finished and system integrity is sound, turn off nitrogen source,
disconnect yellow charging hose from nitrogen source and slowly release nitrogen
pressure to zero.
3.4.3.17 Close manifold valve.
3.4.3.18 System is now ready for charging (refer to Servicing, Section 13).
