The engine driven refrigerant compressor (2) sucks
in gaseous refrigerant from the suction accumulator
and compresses it. The temperature of the
refrigerant rises to a value between 70 °C and 110
°C. It passes to the condenser (1) under high
pressure.
At this point heat is drawn from the refrigerant by
the air being forced past the cooling fins. Because
of this heat loss, the refrigerant liquefies and leaves
the condenser.
A fixed orifice tube (6), which separates the
refrigerant at high pressure from that at low
pressure, is located between the condenser and
the evaporator (5). This fixed orifice tube slows
down the flow of the refrigerant from the compressor, so that pressure builds up in the
condenser.
After passing through the fixed orifice tube the
liquid refrigerant expands in the circuit to the
evaporator, where it becomes gaseous. This
causes heat to be extracted from the air coming
into the vehicle. The air cools down, and excess
moisture contained in it is condensed and is
drained off. The refrigerant coming from the
evaporator flows into the refrigerant accumulator
and is again sucked in by the refrigerant
compressor.
The system is protected by a high-pressure limiting
switch, in order to prevent damage by excessive
pressure (e.g. because of overfilling with
refrigerant). If the pressure exceeds the maximum
