Air distribution (page 2 of 2)

The climate control system consists of the following components:

• a variable flow rate compressor (SKROLL for 1242 16v and 1910 JTD versions - NIPPONDENSO TV 12SC for other versions) which is fixed to the engine by brackets;
• a condenser which is a heat exchanger fitted in front of the engine coolant radiator;
• a drier filter which is located near the left side of the condenser;
• an evaporator which is the second heat exchanger for the system and is located in the above mentioned assembly;
• an expansion valve which is fitted on the evaporator inlet duct;
• various rigid and flexible pipes which connect the various system components;
• a threee stage pressure switch which is fitted on the drier filter.

There are two small pipes, fitted to the high and low pressure pipes, with a needle valve which is designed to drain and repressurize the system.
