Application of BMW Air Conditioning Compressor
The BMW Air Conditioning Compressor offered here is intended for F-series vehicles, including F20/F21 hatchbacks, F30/F31 sedans and wagons, and F25/F26 SUVs. The compressor's design is tailored to specific engine units and accessory systems, ensuring correct operating pressure in the system and proper interaction with the dryer, condenser, and expansion valve.
A properly selected compressor is crucial for:
- maintaining stable refrigerant pressure throughout the air conditioning system,
- efficient cabin cooling even under high thermal loads,
- protecting other system components from overload and seizure.
Construction and Technical Characteristics
This compressor belongs to the Air Conditioning Compressors and Clutches category, meaning it works with the engine's belt drive and an electronically or electromagnetically controlled clutch (depending on the specific vehicle configuration). Using an OEM solution guarantees:
- factory mounting points to the engine block or bracket,
- correct positioning of high and low-pressure ports relative to the air conditioning lines,
- compatibility with factory air conditioning controls and vehicle electronics.
Additionally, the compressor has cross-reference numbers assigned, which facilitates verification of compatibility with specific engine versions and model years.
Benefits of Using an Original BMW Compressor
Choosing an original BMW air conditioning compressor over an aftermarket alternative offers a range of practical operational benefits:
- precise fit to the air conditioning system – no need for modifications to lines, brackets, or wiring harnesses,
- maintenance of factory cooling parameters – correct operating pressures and compression efficiency,
- reduced risk of leaks due to original-specification connections and seals,
- proper interaction with the compressor clutch, which reduces strain on the accessory belt and pulleys.
A system configured this way allows for maintaining a comfortable interior temperature while limiting excessive engine load during air conditioning operation.
Condition, Verification, and Installation
The offered BMW air conditioning compressor is a component from the used original parts category. Before being introduced for sale, such components are routinely verified for body seal integrity, clutch condition, and free shaft rotation, allowing for an assessment of their suitability for further use.
When installing the compressor, it is recommended to:
- flush the air conditioning system to remove any potential contaminants from the previous compressor,
- replace the dryer and inspect the expansion valve or throttling orifice,
- fill the system with the correct amount of refrigerant and oil according to the service documentation for the specific BMW model.
This approach enhances the durability of the installed compressor and reduces the risk of repeat failures.
Compressor Selection and Additional Information
To correctly select the BMW F20 F21 F30 F31 F25 F26 Air Conditioning Compressor 9216467 for a specific vehicle, it is advisable to use the vehicle manufacturer's designations, the OEM part number, and the cross-reference numbers visible in the technical specifications. This helps avoid errors arising from differences between engine versions, production years, or changes introduced during the model's lifecycle.
