Compressor Control Valve Assembly: Description and Operation

A/C Compressor Regulator Valve N280







The regulator valve is installed in the compressor. It is actuated by the A/C Control Head E87 or the Climatronic Control Module J255. The pressure on the low pressure side is influenced by way of the regulator valve, thus regulating the temperature in the evaporator.

NOTE: The A/C Compressor Regulator Valve N280 is part of the compressor and cannot be replaced separately.
