Mercedes-Benz ML320. Service manual - part 678

 

 

This input information is relayed by the CDI control module (N3/9) to the integrated control module of the 
electric engine/AC intake fan with integrated control (M4/7). 

Engines 113.942 and 113.981  

The all-activity module (AAM) (N10) receives the coolant temperature via the coolant temperature sensor and 
the refrigerant pressure via the refrigerant pressure sensor (B12). 

This input information is relayed by the all-activity module (AAM) (N10) to the integrated control module of 
the engine and AC electric suction fan with integrated control (M4/7) 

There the input information is compared with the stored values and, if necessary, the speed of the engine and 
AC electric suction fan with integrated control (M4/7) is increased to 100 %. 

The engine and AC electric suction fan with integrated control (M4/7) operates with AC switched on and in the 
reheat mode for basic ventilation with a capacity of up to 20 %. 

The basic ventilation can be switched off under the following conditions: 

At an outdoor temperature of < or = 15°C the value of the outdoor temperature is transmitted from the 
outside temperature sensor (B10/5) to the AC control module (N19). 

The pressure-dependent fan speed remains the same. 

At a vehicle speed of > 75 km/h 

The vehicle speed value comes from the traction system control module via the instrument cluster (A1) 
and CDI control module (N3/9), to the control module integrated in the electric suction fan engine and 
AC with integrated control (M4/7). The pressure-dependent fan speed remains the same. 

An overrun time of 60 s can be set in order to ensure that the engine and AC electric suction fan with integrated 
control (M4/7) will continue to operate even where the refrigerant compressor is temporarily switched off by 
the icing protection. 

The engine and AC electric suction fan with integrated control (M4/7) has a power rating of 550W. 

ELECTRIC FAN, ENGINE/AIR CONDITIONING, LOCATION - GF83.40-P-2118-02GH 

The engine and AC electric suction fan with integrated control (M4/7) is located immediately in front of the 
condenser.

CONDENSER FUNCTION - GF83.40-P-2120-01GC 

Function  

The hot, gaseous refrigerant routed into the condenser passes the heat (compression heat) to the coiled pipes and 
slats. These then very quickly absorb the refrigerant's heat and transmit the heat to the outside air passing 
through. This in turn cools the refrigerant. 

By cooling down, the refrigerant is liquefied (condensed). The liquid heat refrigerant is then carried away from 
the condenser and flows into the fluid reservoir. 

CONDENSER, LOCATION - GF83.40-P-2120-02GH 

The condenser (7) is located directly in front of the radiator.

EVAPORATOR, FUNCTION - GF83.40-P-2121-01GC 

Function  

The refrigerant, which is under high pressure, is injected into the evaporator. The evaporator is a disk-type 
evaporator made of soldered semicircular disks with louvered corrugated fins by the Valeo company for model 
168 and the Denso company for model 163. 

The heat that is required for evaporation is extracted from the air flowing past the evaporator, which cools 
down. The soldered semicircular disks with louvered corrugated fins or slats provide a large evaporation surface 
and guarantee rapid heat exchange. 

The moisture that condenses when the air cools is led to the outside via condensation drain hoses. 

The condensation also binds the solids in the air and therefore cleans it. 

EVAPORATOR, LOCATION - GF83.40-P-2121-02GH 

The evaporator (1) is located in the air conditioning box.

FLUID RESERVOIR FUNCTION - GF83.40-P-2122-01GI 

Function  

The liquefied refrigerant enters the fluid reservoir under pressure and flows through a stainless-steel fabric layer 
to the filter block. The filter block's pores are matched exactly to the molecular size of the refrigerant. Thus the 
refrigerant can flow through the filter block. 

All other matter, primarily water, is held back by this molecular filter and deposited. The cleansed refrigerant 
then flows through a rising pipe to the expansion valve.
