Refrigerant shut-o valves
Shut-o valves N640, N641, N642 and N643 are arranged in a
compact valve block and are activated by control unit J1024 via
LIN.
The switching positions of the valves define how the system
operates. The following valves are also integrated:
• Electronic expansion valve N636 with LIN interface from
thermal management control unit J1024
• Refrigerant shut-o valve V424 for shutting o the evaporator.

Non-return valves
The non-return valves ensure that the refrigerant flows in the right
direction in the various operating modes.

Electrical AC compressor V470
The electrical AC compressor V470 is the core element of the
vehicle air conditioning system and has been redeveloped for use in
the AudiQ7e-tronquattro. The electrical AC compressor draws in
the cold, gaseous refrigerant at low pressure. The refrigerant is
compressed inside the compressor, increasing the pressure. The
temperature of the refrigerant increases.
The compressed, hot refrigerant flows in a gaseous form from the
AC compressor in the valve block and then, depending on operating
state, on to:
• In cooling mode: the condenser
• In heat pump mode: the heat exchanger for heat pump opera-
tion
The electrical AC compressor V470 can, if required, be used both
for heating and cooling the cabin and hybrid battery unit AX1.
