System Overview - Refrigerant Circuit With Electrically-Driven A/C Compressor (With Or Without Battery Cooling Module)

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 (vehicle-specific repair information).

HD = High Pressure Side

ND = Low Pressure Side
