Proof of performance is required prior to handling air conditioners and air conditioning service units.
The proof of performance certifies that the workshop has the technical hardware and personnel
capable of carrying out maintenance and repair work on air conditioners.
This certification is issued for a limited period by an authorized organization, e.g. in the Bosch
Training Centers in the framework of a training course.
Evaporator sensor
or thermostat
controls the tempera-
ture development in or
at the outlet of the eva-
porator.
Condenser
controls the pressure
and the temperature in
the circuit and lique-
fies the refrigerant by
cooling it.

Diagnosis so-
cket
Irrespectively of whether the air conditioner is a classic model or automatic, the mechanical
! and refrigerant sections are always the same. However, there are two types of circuits.

These two circuits more or less have the same method of operation.
The two components named below have different structures and are installed in different areas of the system.
The throttle valve does not regulate the flow.
u Static pressure
u Engine and air conditioner switched off
u Provides an initial impression of the circuit's refrigerant filling level
u Allows you to determine the type of fault (refrigeration or electric
component)
u Dynamic pressure
u Engine running, air conditioner switched on
u Allows you to check the different components in the refrigerant circuit
u Engine running
u Air conditioner is switched on
u Check of effect of air conditioning system
