Let the summer come: Bosch prepares the workshop for air conditioning service. Be cool in air conditioning service: The new ACS devices from Bosch allow you to benefit from the comfortable user interface, precision design and fully automatic work procedures. Air conditioning service from Bosch Air conditioning service benefits mainly workshops with special knowledge and correct devices. Air conditioners in the vehicle require regular maintenance. Therefore, there is a fast growing potential for competent air conditioning service. Driving comfort and safety through air conditioners Air conditioners are standard vehicle equipment: Nowadays over 60 percent of small cars and over 90 percent of middle class and premium range models are fitted with air conditioners. And the share increases every day. u For most small cars, an air conditioner can at least be retrofitted as an option. u The trend is increasing, both for passenger cars as well as commercial vehicles. u Sooner or later there will be no more vehicles without an air conditioner. Calculation example for turnover with air conditioning service Vehicle throughput per year 600 Total number Air conditioner fitting rate 70 % Potential annual air conditioning service 378 Vehicles with A/C Air conditioning service every 2 years 189 Assumed invoice value for air conditioning service 65.00 Turnover per year 12,285 Assumed investment Turnover investment 8,085 Services performed 4,200 Air conditioning service equipment * ACS amortized after 65 Services performed * Air conditioning unit, special accessories, UV additive, oil High turnover, very low manpower requirements: Air conditioning service with Bosch ACS The calculation at the side shows: If a workshop uses all options in a professional manner, it can make a turnover of up to 12,000 euros during the 4-month season of air conditioning service. The device pays for itself even during the first season. The fully automatic air conditioning service equipment from Bosch makes air conditioning service easy and profitable for the workshop. Bosch has more know-how in this area than any others. 3

How the air conditioner works: Functions for comfort and safety Air into the vehicle interior Expansion valve The compressor draws cold, gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator and forces it into the condenser. Service connection Low pressure Evaporator Fresh air blower Service connection In the condenser the gas is cooled under pressure by the head wind and is thus liquefied (condensed). In the dryer and collector cleaning and drying of the refrigerant takes place Compressor Refrigerant pressure sensor Condenser Head wind High pressure Dryer The expansion valve injects the cleaned refrigerant into the evaporator. The evaporator removes the evaporation heat from the circulating air. As it flows through, the air cools down and is directed into the vehicle interior. The air conditioner in the vehicle and its components The air conditioner: The working principle When the air conditioner is switched on with the engine running, the compressor draws cold, gaseous refrigerant out of the evaporator and forces it into the condenser. When compressed, the refrigerant heats up to approx. 60-100 C. The hot gas, which is now highly compressed, is cooled down in the condenser by the external air (head wind or additional blower) that flows past. When the pressure-dependent dew point is reached, the refrigerant condenses and is liquefied. Coming from the condenser, the completely liquefied refrigerant enters the fluid tank where it is collected. The refrigerant flows through the dryer, where any existing moisture and contaminants are filtered out. From the fluid tank, the refrigerant flows on to the expansion valve. Here, the highly pressurized, liquefied refrigerant is injected into the evaporator. In the evaporator, the liquefied refrigerant pressure drops and it evaporates. The evaporation heat is drawn from the air flowing past via the evaporator fins, causing it to cool. The refrigerant, which is now completely gaseous again, is drawn by the compressor again and compressed. Of interest to your customers: 4 good arguments for regular air conditioning service 1. Driving comfort and safety: A good climate in the vehicle interior allows you to concentrate fully on driving. 2. Environmental protection: Detection of defective air conditioners prevents loss of refrigerant. 3. Cost savings: Scheduled maintenance prevent complex repairs. 4. Pure air: During regular air conditioning service, also change the cabin filter. 7
