Check Valves
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Audi SQ5, 2024 Audi Q5 e, 2024 Audi Q5, 2023 Audi SQ5, and 2023 Audi Q5 e. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The check valves disconnect in different areas of the refrigerant circuit. Refer to Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific Service Information).
NOTE:
The illustrated check valve -3- is installed for example on a Audi Q7 e-tron. Refer to Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific Service Information).
The check valves in the refrigerant circuit in the flow direction have a specified residual pressure (approximately 0.1 bar (1.45 psi) or 100 mbar (1.45 psi)). So that the refrigerant circuit can be completely evacuated (residual pressure less than 5 mbar (0.07 psi)) all electrically activated valves must be opened.
Depending on the version, the flow direction may be marked with a sticker.
