Air conditioning systems with refrigerant R1234yf - General information - Edition 07.2017
Note
♦ If the air conditioner compressor control unit - J842- is defec‐
tive, the amount of refrigerant oil in the new air conditioner
compressor must be adjusted. The refrigerant circuit must not
be cleaned (flushed) with R1234yf.
♦ The control unit for air conditioner compressor - J842- and the
electrical air conditioner compressor - V470- are one compo‐
nent and can currently not be separated.
♦ There is no -N280- installed in the electrical air conditioner
compressor. The power of the air conditioner compressor is
regulated externally by the speed of the air conditioner com‐
pressor ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and
Fitting locations and ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided
Fault Finding” mode - air conditioning system and battery reg‐
ulation.
♦ The electrical air conditioner compressor currently works in
the same way as a spiral or scroll-type charger (similar to a G-
Lader).
♦ The air conditioner compressor contains refrigerant oil, which
can be mixed with R1234yf refrigerant at any temperature.
♦ The identification plate states the refrigerant for which the air
conditioner compressor is suitable.
♦ The integrated electronics regulate the performance of the air
lk
conditioner compressor via the speed (and thereby the pres‐
sure on the low-pressure side) within the specific target range
(control characteristic).
♦ The engine should be started only when the refrigerant circuit
has been fully assembled.
♦ The air conditioner compressor has an internal oil circuit to
ensure that the air conditioner compressor is not damaged
when the refrigerant circuit is empty. This means that approx.
40 to 50 cm3 of refrigerant oil remain in the air conditioner
compressor.
♦ Just like the mechanical air conditioner compressor, the elec‐
trical air conditioner compressor has a pressure relief valve.
♦ On vehicles with battery cooling, electric and hybrid operation
is only possible with the air conditioning system charged and
no faults stored in connection with the air conditioning system
⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided Fault Finding” mode -
air conditioning system and battery regulation.
♦ First bring the electrical air conditioner compressor into oper‐
ation after installing the air conditioner compressor and charg‐
ing the refrigerant circuit via the “Compressor run-in” function
in basic settings. Should there be an accumulation of refriger‐
ant oil in the compression chamber of the air conditioner
compressor before installation owing to unfavourable storage,
damage could be caused to the air conditioner compressor

air conditioning system and battery regulation.
♦ An electrically driven air conditioner compressor may only be
activated when the refrigerant circuit is charged. Running the
air conditioner compressor with the refrigerant circuit empty
could lead to compressor damage ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester
in “Guided Fault Finding” mode.
