Purpose and Compatibility
The air conditioning compressor for Mercedes W639 and W906 has been designed for OM646 diesel engines. The compressor's construction is adapted to the characteristics of diesel engines, allowing for the maintenance of proper pressure in the air conditioning system, even during prolonged driving under load.
Original origin from the Mercedes-Benz group means adherence to factory operating parameters, proper fit to vehicle mounts, and correct interaction with engine accessories and air conditioning control units.
Construction and Operating Characteristics
The air conditioning compressor in this model is based on a precise piston-valve system responsible for efficient refrigerant compression across a wide range of engine speeds. The design enables stable operation in both city traffic and on long journeys, where the air conditioning system operates continuously.
Key user features of this compressor include:
- Adaptation for Diesel Engines – optimized operating characteristics for higher torque and the specifics of OM646 units.
- Factory Fit – maintaining original mounting geometry and air conditioning hose connections.
- Stable Operating Pressure – maintaining appropriate cabin cooling parameters under various load conditions.
Application in the Air Conditioning System
The Mercedes W639 W906 air conditioning compressor is the central element of the refrigerant circuit, responsible for its compression and forcing circulation throughout the system. A properly functioning compressor leads to:
- Effective Interior Cooling – rapid reduction of cabin temperature after activating the air conditioning.
- Uniform System Operation – minimizing air vent temperature fluctuations and ensuring stable thermal conditions.
- Protection of Other Components – proper operating pressure reduces the load on the condenser, evaporator, and hoses.
By maintaining factory parameters, the compressor works with original accessories, which facilitates the diagnosis and servicing of the air conditioning system in Mercedes vehicles.
Condition, Installation, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Compressor
The offered component comes from the air conditioning compressors and clutches category and is intended for reinstallation in a vehicle after standard workshop verification. Choosing a used OEM compressor allows for maintaining factory build quality while reducing the cost of air conditioning system repairs.
Before installation, it is recommended to:
- Check System Tightness – inspect hoses, condenser, and evaporator for any leaks.
- Replace the Drier – to ensure adequate protection against moisture in the system.
- Proper Refrigerant Filling – in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines.
This approach increases the durability of the entire system and reduces the risk of further service interventions.
