Sometimes it is also found in electrically driven A/C compressors (please see the relevant usage overview). It can replace various PAG oils and can be used in air conditioning systems with R134a and, in some cases, R1234yf. In contrast to other oils, PAO 68 is not hygroscopic-i.e., it does not absorb any moisture from the ambient air. We particularly recommend the PAO 68 oil, which has been used effectively for more than 20 years and helps increase the performance of the air conditioning system. MAHLE offers a range of synthetic compressor oils. The use of low-grade or incorrect oil results in increased wear and may lead to premature failure of the A/C compressor. The quality of the A/C compressor oils used is crucial for ensuring that the air conditioning can be used safely and for a long time. MAHLE Aftermarket’s range of high-quality A/C compressors is extensive and includes the latest generation of electrically driven, vehicle-specific units. MAHLE is also the competent technology-partner for all leading OE-manufacturers when it comes to vehicle cooling and climate control. With the acquisition of the thermal management activities from Delphi Automotive PLC and the resulting integration of the new air conditioning compressor product group into the MAHLE Group, MAHLE has further expanded its leading position as an original equipment manufacturer. The size of the A/C compressor varies according to the size of the system. For lubrication, the A/C compressor is filled with a special oil, some of which circulates through the air conditioning system with the refrigerant. The unit is generally driven by the engine via a V-ribbed belt. The refrigerant passes via the intermediate stops of the A/C condenser and the evaporator, where the required evaporation cooling for the cabin is produced, and it is then returned to the A/C compressor-and the cycle starts all over again. The following products complement the product range since 2020:Īn A/C compressor is indispensable for temperature management in a passenger car: It compresses the gaseous refrigerant, heating it up in the process. The products are sold under the BEHR sales brand and the portfolio will be continuously expanded. For MAHLE customers, this means access to a broad portfolio of thermal management products for passenger cars and trucks as well as agricultural vehicles and construction machines. Since the acquisition of the entire shareholding in Behr Hella Service (BHS) by MAHLE Aftermarket, all existing activities of BHS was transferred to MAHLE on January 1, 2020.
