2892643 - E6021 COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT - Functional description (Air Conditioner)

Functional description

The relay J20 controls the compressor engagment circuit. The relay is supplied by relay R1: line controlled by the ignition INT/A, protected by fuse F15: both are housed in the junction unit B1. The supply for the relay R1 comes from the direct line of the maxifuse J/B1 of B5, whilst the coil is supplied by the line (INT/A) protected by fuse B26. The relay J20 coil is always supplied by the line controlled by the ignition (INT/A) protected by fuse B27: this line also supplies the switch unit H80.

Pressing the button in group H80, sends two signals:

  • one to the electronic frost thermostat K86 which, if the temperature of the evaporator is not too low, sends another signal to the 3 stage pressure switch K5 . This, in turn, if the pressure in the circuit is correct, does not interrupt the signal which reaches the engine control unit M10 . Control unit M10 uses its own internal software to send an (earth) signal to activate the compressor which energizes the relay J20 . The relay operates the solenoid valve, at 12 V, which switches on the air conditioning compressor L20 .
  • a second signal energizes the relay J34 coil which activates the first speed for the fan N85 , according to the description ( See E6020 AIR CONDITIONING ).
The fan operates at the first speed if the button for engaging the compressor is pressed, even if the control knob H81 is in position "0".
