IHR, IHKR and IHKA in E81, E82, E87, E90, E91, E92, E93
The IHR, IHKR and IHKA are heating and air conditioning systems that regulate the temperature of the air.
The IHKA has separate settings for the driver's side and passenger side.
> E81, E82, E87
The E81, E82, E87 are equipped as standard with the integrated heating control system (IHR).
The integrated automatic heating/air-conditioning system (IHKA) is available as special equipment (option 534).
-
From 12/2004, the integrated heating / air-conditioning regulation (IHKR) is available as special equipment for all
four-cylinder models (option 530).
The IKHR is the standard equipment for the six-cylinder models.
> E90, E91, E92, E93
The E90, E91, E92, E93 are equipped as standard with the integrated heating and air-conditioning control (IHKR).
The integrated automatic heating/air-conditioning system (IHKA) is available as special equipment (option 534).
New features of the IHR/IHKR/IHKA:
-
An electric auxiliary heater working on the PTC principle (positive temperature coefficient) is installed on
vehicles with diesel engines.
The electric auxiliary heater is a separate component and is installed in the heater/air conditioner. The electric
auxiliary heater consists of electrically heated heating chains. Air is heated directly by these heating chains and
is then fed through the air vents into the vehicle interior. In principle, the electric auxiliary heater works like an
electric radiator.
The electric auxiliary heater accelerates the heating of the vehicle interior, especially at low ambient
temperatures and during the cold-start phase.
-
LIN bus (Local Interconnect Network bus)
A LIN bus serves to actuate flap motors and the electric auxiliary heater in the heating/air-conditioning system.
-
Convertible program (E93 only)
When the convertible top is opened and the air-conditioning system is in automatic mode, the convertible
program is automatically activated.
The convertible program adapts the air-conditioner settings (blower, airflow, temperature) to the conditions
created by the open top. The settings do not have to be changed when the top is opened or closed.
The convertible program is stored in the IHKA control unit.
-
Air distribution flap motor and microswitch (IHR, IHKR only)
The air distribution flap motor replaces the mechanical actuation of the central kinematics with a cam disc. The
central kinematics are still used to mechanically adjust the air distribution flaps. Air distribution (defrost,
ventilation, footwell) is selected with the air-distribution control wheel in the IHR/IHKR control panel.
The microswitch records the current position of the cam disc and thus the position of the air distribution flap
motor.
