Fabia Mk1
Pressures, temperatures and arrangement of the refrigerant circuit with throttle |
Component | Aggregate state of refrigerant | Pressure (bar overpressure) | Temperature in Celsius |
Air conditioning compressor - high pressure side | Gas | up to 20 bar | up to +70°C |
Condensor -7- | from gas via vapour to liquid | up to 20 bar | up to +70°C |
Throttle -11- | from liquid to vapour | High pressure side up to 20 bar, low pressure side greater than 1.0 bar | High pressure side up to +60°C, low pressure side warmer than -4°C |
Evaporator -12- | from vapour to gas | greater than 1.0 bar | warmer than -4°C |
Catch pan -15- | Gas | ||
Air conditioning compressor - low pressure side | Gas |
The „regulating“ AC compressor maintains the pressures on the low pressure side at approx. 2 bar (corresponds to approx. 1 bar overpressure) even at different engine speeds. This is only valid within the performance range of the AC compressor. If the performance ranges of the AC compressor are exceeded → Chapter. |
HP = High-pressure side |
LP = Low-pressure side |
