Let the summer come. Bosch prepares the workshop for air conditioning service.

Air conditioning service benefits mainly workshops with special knowledge and correct devices. Air conditioners in the vehicle require regular mainte-nance. Therefore, there is a fast growing potential for competent air conditioning service.

DrivingcomfortandsafetythroughairconditionersAir conditioners are standard vehicle equipment: Nowa-days over 60 percent of small cars and over 90 percent of middle class and premium range models are fitted with air conditioners. And the share increases every day. u For most small cars, an air conditioner can at least be

retrofitted as an option.u The trend is increasing, both for passenger cars as

well as commercial vehicles.u Sooner or later there will be no more vehicles without

an air conditioner.

Highturnover,verylowmanpowerrequirements:AirconditioningservicewithBoschACSThe calculation at the side shows: If a workshop uses all options in a professional manner, it can make a turnover of up to 12,000 euros during the 4-month season of air conditioning service. The device therefore pays for itself even during the first season. The air conditioning service workshop equipment makes comfortable and fully auto-matic work possible. Bosch has more know-how in this area than any others.

FullyautomaticperformanceofallworkstepsThe units perform a wide range of functions fully auto-matically: refrigerant extraction and recycling, used oil drainage, evacuation and leak testing, fresh oil and UV additive feeding as well as precise refrigerant feeding. Air conditioning service units from Bosch recognize auto-matically if sensors for pressure or load cells are missing or defective. They then interrupt the current operation immediately – before further damage is caused.

The air conditioner in the vehicle and its components

Theairconditioner:TheworkingprincipleIf the air conditioner is switched on with the engine run-ning, the compressor draws cold, gaseous refrigerant out of the evaporator and forces it into the condenser. When compressed, the refrigerant heats up to approx. 60 - 100 °C. The hot gas, which is now highly compres-sed, is cooled down in the condenser by the external air (head wind or additional blower) that flows past. When the pressure-dependent dew point is reached, the refri-gerant condenses and is liquefied.

Coming from the condenser, the completely liquefied refrigerant enters the fluid tank where it is collected.

The refrigerant flows through the dryer, where any existing moisture and contaminants are filtered out.

From the fluid tank, the refrigerant flows on to the ex-pansion valve. Here, the highly pressurized, liquefied refrigerant is injected into the evaporator. In the evapo-rator, the liquefied refrigerant pressure drops and it evaporates. The necessary evaporation heat is drawn from the air flowing past via the evaporator fins, caus-ing it to cool. The refrigerant, which is now completely gaseous again, is drawn by the compressor again and compressed.

interior allows you to concentrate fully on driving.2. Environmental protection: Detection of defective air condi-

tioners prevents loss of refrigerant.3. Cost savings: Scheduled maintenance prevent complex

repairs.
