The roof air conditioner supplies the interior with cool or warm dehumidified
air without dust and dirt.
LED lamps integrated in the air outlet unit provide pleasant lighting.
The roof air conditioner is operated with the remote control.
I
6.1 Components
The refrigerant circuit of the roof air conditioner consists of the following main
components (fig. 1, page 3):
Compressor (1)
The compressor draws in the refrigerant used and compresses it. This
raises the pressure and therefore the temperature of the refrigerant.
Condenser (2)
The built-in liquefier works like a cooler or heat exchanger. The air flow-
ing past absorbs the heat and the hot refrigerant gas cools down and
becomes liquid.
Evaporator (3)
The evaporators cool down and dehumidify the air flowing past them.
The refrigerant absorbs the heat and vaporises.
Blower (4)
A blower distributes the cooled air within the vehicle through an air outlet
unit.
NOTE
The roof air conditioner can lower the temperature within the
vehicle to a certain level. The temperature depends on the type of
vehicle, the ambient temperature and the cooling capacity of your
roof air conditioner.
Below an outside temperature of 16 °C the roof air conditioner
doesn’t cool anymore.
