If repair work in the vicinity of high-voltage components and ca‐  
bles is necessary, inspect high-voltage components and cables  
for damage ⇒ page 4 ⇒ Electrical system; Rep. gr. 93 ; General  
warnings for work on the high-voltage system .

sary, ensure that the high-voltage system is de-energised ⇒ Rep.

– For testing and measuring work that requires the vehicle's  
drive system to be active (READY) or the ignition to be switch‐  
ed on, move the selector lever to position “P”, activate the  
parking brake, and arrange the tools needed so that they can‐  
not come into contact with moving components of the engine  
and so that they cannot even come near to components that  
turn when the engine is running.

NOTICE  
Risk of irreparable damage to electrical air conditioner com‐  
pressor from short circuit.  
– Never touch the air conditioner compressor when switching  
on the ignition or starting the drive machines.  
♦ The air conditioner compressor draws refrigerant gas from the  
lk  
evaporator, compresses it and sends it to the condenser.  
♦ The electric motor of the air conditioner compressor is sup‐  
plied with power e.g. from the power and control electronics  
for electric drive - JX1- ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault  
finding and Fitting locations.  
♦ The control unit for air conditioner compressor - J842- inte‐  
grated in the air conditioner compressor regulates the speed  
and thereby the performance of the air conditioner compressor  
( electrical air conditioner compressor - V470- ) according to  
the request received via the data bus ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic  
tester in “Guided Fault Finding” function of air conditioning  
system and battery control system  
♦ There is no air conditioner compressor regulating valve -  
N280- in the electrical air conditioner compressor.  
♦ The bolting points of the air conditioner compressor and the  
bracket must be checked prior to installation. The contact sur‐  
faces must be free of dirt, rust and grease. Otherwise, repair  
contact surfaces using contact surface cleaning set - VAS  
6410- ⇒ Electrical system; General information; Rep. gr. 97 ;

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  
⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided Fault Finding” mode -  
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.

1.2.4  
Condenser  
♦ The condenser -A- transfers heat from the compressed refrig‐  
erant gas into the surrounding air.  
♦ When this happens, the refrigerant gas condenses to liquid.  
Note  
Depending on the design of the refrigerant circuit, the receiver  
may be attached to the condenser or integrated in the con‐  
denser ⇒ Heating, air conditioning system; Rep. gr. 87 ;  
Refrigerant circuit (vehicle-specific workshop manual) and ⇒  
Electronic parts catalogue .  
There are different versions of the condenser; from the outside  
these versions can only be identified by their part number.  
Version -1- of the condenser is split into two sections (“two-  
pass condenser”). Version -2- of the condenser is split into four  
sections (“four-pass condenser”).  
This illustration shows a condenser with the receiver -C- at‐  
tached.  
The gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser at connection  
-A-; the refrigerant is then cooled down in the condenser and  
turns into liquid.  
The liquid refrigerant accumulates in receiver -C- (with dryer)  
and flows through the bottom cooling section to connection  
-B-.  
The refrigerant capacity in a refrigerant circuit may differ de‐  
pending on the design of the condenser (internal volume, flow,  
etc.). Therefore, always ensure the version and allocation of  
the condenser are correct ⇒ Heating, air conditioning system;  
Rep. gr. 00 ; Technical data (vehicle-specific workshop man‐  
ual) and ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue .  
1.2.5  
Evaporator  
There are different types of evaporator. Depending on the design  
and function, the thermal energy that is needed to evaporate the  
refrigerant is drawn from the air flowing through the system (e.g.  
with the evaporator in heater and air conditioning unit or in the  
battery cooling module) or the coolant flowing through the system  
(e.g. with the heat exchanger for the high-voltage battery) ⇒

manual).
