Compressor Technical Characteristics
The presented air conditioning compressor is an interior cooling system component, specifically designed for Mercedes CLK W203 and C209 models with diesel engines. Mounted at the front of the vehicle, it works in conjunction with engine accessories, the drive belt, and the air conditioning control system, ensuring proper refrigerant pressure.
Thanks to its construction in line with manufacturer standards, the compressor maintains correct flow and sealing parameters, which translates to stable cooling performance and proper cooperation with other system components, such as the condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve.
Application in Mercedes CLK W203 / C209 Diesel
The compressor is intended for use in Mercedes vehicles with diesel engines, where thermal and mechanical loads are higher than in gasoline units. Therefore, the compressor's design is adapted for:
- continuous operation under variable load conditions characteristic of diesel engines,
- proper cooperation with front engine accessories, including the belt drive and tensioners,
- maintaining stable refrigerant pressure across the entire engine speed range.
Such design adaptation allows for maintaining thermal comfort in the cabin, both in city traffic and during highway driving.
Benefits of Choosing an Original Used Compressor
A used air conditioning compressor for Mercedes CLK is a solution that significantly reduces repair costs while maintaining original manufacturing quality. Compared to aftermarket alternatives of unknown origin, an original salvaged part offers:
- factory fit to the air conditioning system without the need for installation modifications,
- compatibility with the control parameters of the factory Mercedes air conditioning system,
- consistency with other components of the cabin cooling system and engine accessories.
For users who value economical operation while wanting to maintain the performance characteristics intended by the manufacturer, this is a technically justified and cost-effective solution.
