Air Conditioning Compressor

Air Conditioning Compressor




The "clutch free" A/C compressor is manufactured by Denso. It functions continuously with the engine running. The compressor is a 7-cylinder swash plate type. The displacement can be reduced to less than 3% when air conditioning is not requested (no refrigerant is supplied to the refrigerant circuit).

There is an internal compressor refrigerant circuit to maintain lubrication. The IHKA electronics regulate the compressor output via an external control valve (1).
