| 1) |
Pressure in refrigerant circuits is maintained at
approximately 2 bar (29 psi), regulated by A/C compressor, even though
heat transfer changes and engine speeds vary. However, this applies only
within the performance range of the A/C compressor; if the performance
limits of the A/C compressor are exceeded, the pressure increases. Refer
to
→ Chapter „Pressures, Checking“. |
| 2) |
Within the control range of the A/C compressor,
temperature in the refrigerant circuits is maintained, regulated by A/C
compressor, even though heat transfer changes and engine speeds vary.
However, this applies only within the performance range of the A/C
compressor; if the performance limits of the A/C compressor are
exceeded, the temperature increases. Refer to
→ Chapter „Pressures, Checking“. |
| 3) |
Measured values for A/C systems with two evaporators |
 Note
| A/C compressors which do not regulate their performance are
switched off by the respective control module via the A/C
Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- at an evaporator temperature
below 0 °C (32 °F). |
| In vehicles with A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-, the
pressure is modified on the low pressure side by the valve. |
