Evaporator -13-, from inlet to outletVapourapprox. 1.2 bar1)approx. -7 °C 2)
Expansion valve -12-Liquid, released in vapourapprox. 14 barapprox. +55°C (high pressure side), reduced to -7°C (low pressure side)
High pressure switch / high pressure sender -6-Liquidapprox. 14 barapprox. +55 °C
Service connection - high pressure side -10- and fluid reservoir -9-Liquidapprox. 14 barapprox. +55 °C
Condensor -8-from gas (at the inlet) via vapour to liquid (at the outlet)approx. 14 barfrom approx. +65°C (at the inlet) to approx. +55°C (at the outlet)
Pressure relief valve -5- and air conditioning compressor - high pressure side Gasapprox. 14 barapprox. +65 °C
Air conditioning compressor - low pressure sideGasapprox. 1.2 bar1)approx. -1 °C 2)
Service connection - low pressure side -14-Gasapprox. 1.2 bar1)approx. -1 °C 2)

1) In refrigerant circuits with regulated AC compressor, the pressure is maintained at approx. 2 bar absolute pressure (corresponds to approx. 1 bar overpressure) despite the varying heat transfer and different engine speeds. This is only valid within the performance range of the AC compressor; in the event the performance range of the AC compressor is exceeded, the pressure rises → Chapter.
2) In refrigerant circuits with regulated AC compressor, the temperature is maintained within the performance range of the AC compressor despite the varying heat transfer and 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, the temperature rises → Chapter.
