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.
