For over 15 years, Bosch has been supporting workshops with fully automatic A/C service units and accessories for the maintenance of air conditioning systems in vehicles. In order to also provide support in case of repairs, Bosch is now expanding its workshop offering across with the essential components of air conditioning systems. 

From now on, in addition to A/C compressors and condensers, the range of replacement parts also includes dryers, expansion valves and evaporators. The programme covers vehicles from different manufacturers and is continually being expanded.

Before being selected for the programme, the A/C components undergo extensive endurance and leak tests, to ensure reliable performance and a long service life. In addition, corrosion tests ensure a high weather resistance.

Thanks to precisely fitting connections and the compressors coming pre-filled with oil, mechanics can install the spare parts easily and quickly. Also comprehensive online installation instructions are available. 

In addition to the new A/C components, the Bosch range already includes products such as drive belts, cabin filters, cabin blowers and engine cooling fans for working around the A/C system. For maintenance work it is complemented by A/C units from the ACS series, accessories, and oils for the air conditioning circuit. Bosch service training workshops also offer a certificate of competence for working on A/C systems.

It is also important for garages to remember that with increasing vehicle electrification, A/C will be a key business area in the future. The air conditioning cycle is even more vital in electric cars. It plays an important role in the thermal management of EV’s well beyond previous requirements. As well as interior cooling, the A/C circuit is also used to cool the powertrain components of hybrid and electric vehicles. This keeps the battery, electric motor, and power electronics within the optimum temperature range to ensure reliable operation.

Bosch A/C components are available from Bosch stockists nationwide.
