Air conditioning and heating systems – original parts for BMW, Audi, Mercedes and more
Compressors, heaters, hoses and regulators – comprehensive solutions for your comfort
Air conditioning and heating systems ensure comfortable travel regardless of weather conditions. Air conditioning cools the vehicle's interior on hot days, while the heating system provides warmth in winter. In modern cars, these systems are integrated, offering both comfort and safety, improving visibility by defogging windows. At the Global Parts automotive store, you'll find a wide selection of used car parts. for air conditioning and heating systems, such as compressors, evaporators, heaters and condensers, perfectly suited to the brands BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and many more. We also offer components for specialized models, such as the BMW E60 manual air conditioning, the Mercedes W202 air conditioning, and a full range of heating and air conditioning systems for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Each part is tailored to a specific model, ensuring compatibility and correct installation while maintaining optimal system performance.
How do air conditioning and heating systems work?
Air conditioning and heating systems are advanced systems that work together to provide ideal interior conditions. Key components of these systems include:
- Air conditioning compressors and clutches – They are responsible for compressing the refrigerant and maintaining the efficient operation of the air conditioning system.
- Air conditioning hoses, pipes and connectors – They ensure tight transport of the refrigerant between individual system components.
- Air conditioning regulators – They control the operation of the cooling and heating system, enabling precise temperature setting in the cabin.
- Evaporators – They are responsible for heat exchange and cooling the air before it enters the vehicle interior.
- Cabin filters, pollen filters – They protect the vehicle interior from pollution, dust and allergens, improving air quality.
- Condensers (coolers) – They are responsible for removing heat from the air conditioning system, enabling its efficient operation.
- Temperature sensors – Monitor the vehicle’s interior and exterior temperatures, ensuring automatic adjustment of the air conditioning.
- Expansion valves – They regulate the flow of the refrigerant and its pressure in the air conditioning system.
- Pressure switches – They are responsible for controlling the refrigerant pressure level, protecting the system against damage.
- Blowers and fans – They are responsible for air circulation in the cabin and even distribution of cool or warm air.
- Heating control valves – They control the flow of coolant to the heater, ensuring efficient heating of the cabin.
- Heat exchangers – Elements responsible for efficient heat exchange between various systems in the vehicle.
- Servo motors – They control the air flow in the air conditioning system, allowing precise regulation of the temperature in the cabin. An efficient air conditioning and heating system guarantees comfort and safety during every journey.
Examples of parameters and compatibility
| Element | Typical parameters | Sample models | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compressor | 120–160 cm³, 12V, cools 2–3 l/min | BMW E60, Mercedes W202 | OEM and aftermarket air conditioning systems |
| Heater | 20–25 kW, aluminum | BMW E90, Audi A4 | Manual and automatic heating installations |
| Evaporator | 30–50 kPa, copper | Volkswagen Passat B6, Mini Cooper | Standard air conditioning systems |
Why is it worth taking care of air conditioning and heating installations?
Regular maintenance and replacement of worn-out air conditioning and heating system components is essential for comfort and reliability. A neglected system can lead to:
- Inefficient cooling or heating of the vehicle interior.
- Excessive window fogging, which reduces visibility and safety.
- Unpleasant odors caused by impurities in the system. At the Global Parts store we offer original used car parts , which have passed rigorous quality tests, ensuring their full functionality. Modern vehicle air conditioning and heating systems often incorporate automatic temperature control, meaning sensors monitor not only temperature but also humidity and sun exposure. Examples include the BMW E60's manual air conditioning with automatic adjustment of vents to interior temperature, or the Mercedes W202's air conditioning system with adjustable airflow based on the selected program.
How to choose the right parts for air conditioning and heating installations?
When choosing parts for air conditioning and heating installations, such as compressors, heaters or evaporators, it is worth paying attention to:
- Vehicle-specific fit – Every car model has its own technical specifications. At Global Parts, you'll find air conditioning and heating system parts perfectly suited to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini, and many others.
- Technical condition – Used parts, such as air conditioning compressors or condensers, should be fully functional and ready for further use.
- Component Type and Capacity – For example, air conditioning compressors should be sized to suit the vehicle size and expected performance. Additionally, it's worth considering the type of system: manual, automatic, or hybrid . Manual systems, such as the BMW E60 manual air conditioning, require simpler controls, while automatic systems, found in the Mercedes W202, integrate temperature sensors, variable-speed fans, and electronic control valves. Installation and compatibility with other components (e.g., HVAC, vents, blowers) are crucial to the system's efficiency.
Why choose used parts for air conditioning and heating systems?
Used car parts This is a perfect solution that combines savings with high quality. By choosing used components such as heaters, condensers, or fans, you gain:
- Lower costs – Used parts are much cheaper than new ones, but offer just as high quality.
- Ecology – You support recycling by reducing the amount of automotive waste.
- Wide availability – We offer parts for the most popular car brands, making it easy to find the right components. Thanks to used parts, you can also easily replace less common air conditioning and heating system components, such as those for BMW E36 bumpers, BMW E46 M Package bumpers, BMW E90 M Package bumpers, or Peugeot 307 bumpers. Maintaining full compatibility with HVAC systems allows for efficient system operation and cost savings.
How to take care of air conditioning and heating installations?
To ensure that air conditioning and heating systems operate efficiently for years, it is worth remembering a few rules:
- Change cabin filters regularly – This ensures clean cabin air and more efficient system operation.
- Check the condition of evaporators and condensers – Contaminants can reduce the efficiency of the air conditioning system.
- Service air conditioning compressors – Regular inspection and refilling of the refrigerant are crucial for the efficiency of the system. If you have any problems with your air conditioning or heating systems, Global Parts has the right used car parts to restore your vehicle to full functionality.
