Pressure Gauge Display

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ7, 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi SQ7, and 2023 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  1. Temperature Scale for Refrigerant R1234yf (CF3 CF = CH2 ) in °C
  2. Pressure Scale in Bar Pressure
NOTE:

Pressure is measured in different units: 1 MPa (mega Pascal) corresponds to 10 bar (145.04 psi) positive pressure or 145 psi. 1 bar (14.5 psi) absolute pressure corresponds to 0 bar (0 psi) positive pressure and thus to the ambient pressure (atmospheric pressure).

This illustration shows the pressure gauge which shows the pressure on the low pressure side, the display here is in bar pressure (can be recognized by the display "-1")

The pressure gauge may have one or more temperature scales in addition to the pressure scale. The R1234yf scale values are allocated respectively in the vapor pressure table. Since various refrigerants create different vapor pressures at the same temperature, each temperature scale is identified for the respective refrigerant.
