System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit With Electrically-Driven A/C Compressor (With Or Without Battery Cooling Module)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S6, 2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2018 Audi A6, 2017 Audi S6, and 2017 Audi A6 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The arrows indicate the refrigerant flow direction.
The following illustration shows a refrigerant circuit with an expansion valve and a second evaporator for cooling the battery and an inner heat exchanger as an example.
The layout of the refrigerant circuit is vehicle-specific. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT [For engine(s) CTUA, CAED, CREH, CEUC, CTGE, CREC, CYNB, CPNB]
HD = High Pressure Side
ND = Low Pressure Side
