Compressor Valve

A clutchless compressor similar to the one used in E60/65 is used. The compressor has a swash plate that can vary the amount of compression on the refrigerant.

The compressor valve is controlled and powered by the junction box. Activation requests are sent via the K-CAN from the IHKA control module.

The signal path is:

IHKA => K-CAN => JBE => Refrigerant valve
