1.6 Dust and pollen filter with activated char‐


coal inlay
♦ The filter with activated charcoal inlay adopts the roll of the
dust and pollen filter. But it can also filter harmful gasses such
as ozone, benzene, nitrogen dioxide etc. out of the air flow
♦ The task of the activated charcoal is to absorb gaseous im‐
purities from the air flow until the fresh air flap is closed and
the system is operating in air recirculation mode. In vehicles
with Climatronic, the Climatronic control unit - J255- switches
from fresh air to air recirculation as soon as the air quality
sensor - G238- detects gaseous impurities in the air. The func‐
tion “automatic air recirculation” must be selected.
♦ The activated charcoal layer in the dust and pollen filter reacts
with noxious substances in the air in different ways:
- Certain noxious substances are stored permanently in the acti‐
vated charcoal layer.
- Others are converted into harmless compounds in a manner
similar to that of a catalytic converter.
- For the remaining substances, the activated charcoal functions
like a condenser. As noxious substances increase, initially they
are stored until a certain level of saturation is achieved. As the
portion of noxious substances in the air decreases, the activated
charcoal layer gradually releases the particles.

10 Rep. gr.80 - Heating


Amarok 2011 ➤
Heating, air conditioning - Edition 04.2013

♦ Because the activated charcoal layer permanently stores part


of the noxious substances, renewing the dust and pollen filter
before the prescribed renewal period would be advantageous,

mode” switched off. AG. Volkswagen n AG do

conditioner compressor cannot always be identified by visible
deformations in the poly V-belt pulley and overload protection.
Another indication is abraded rubber material around the poly
V-belt pulley or overload protection.
♦ The air conditioner compressor has an internal oil circuit to
ensure that the air conditioner compressor is not damaged
when the refrigerant circuit is empty. This means that about
40 to 50 cm3 refrigerant oil remain in the air conditioner com‐
pressor.
♦ The engine may be started only when the refrigerant circuit is
properly assembled. If, for example, the refrigerant lines are
not connected to the air conditioner compressor and the en‐
gine is running, the compressor may heat up so much through
internal warming that it will be destroyed.
♦ The air conditioner compressor regulating valve - N280- is not
activated when the refrigerant circuit is empty. The air condi‐
tioner compressor idles with the engine.
♦ If it is necessary to start engine with an empty refrigerant cir‐
cuit:
♦ The refrigerant circuit must be fully assembled.
♦ At least ¼ of the quantity of refrigerant oil specified for this
refrigerant circuit must be in the air conditioner compressor.
♦ The engine speed must not exceed 2500 rpm.
♦ Run engine only as long as absolutely necessary.

Note the following when starting engine for first time after filling
refrigerant circuit:
– Switch on ignition.
– Select “ECON” function on Climatronic operating and display
unit - E87- .
– Start engine.
As soon as the idling speed stabilizes.
– Open dash panel vents.
– Set temperature to “Lo” on Climatronic operating and display

– Now switch to “Auto” mode and let the air conditioner run for
at least 5 minutes with the engine at idling speed.

At an ambient temperature of less than approximately +3 ℃, air Prote AG.
recirculation is not actuated until there is a strong increase in
noxious substances in the outside air, and only for approximately
15 seconds. The air conditioner compressor is not actuated.
When the concentration decreases, the air conditioning system
is switched back to fresh air mode.
♦ The “automatic recirculation mode” can be switched off at any
time.
♦ So that the air conditioning system does not operate continu‐
ally in air recirculation mode in areas with consistently high
levels of pollutants, the "intelligent" sensor adapts its sensitiv‐
ity to the prevailing environmental pollution. It adapts its sen‐
sitivity to the environmental pollution.
♦ If the level of pollutants in the outside air remains high over a
longer period the intelligent sensor starts to adapt to the
change in environmental conditions. Therefore the require‐
ment for recirculated air in an uniformly polluted outside air
environment usually less than 12 minutes. If a series of pollu‐
tion peaks occur, the air conditioning system may operate over
a longer period of time in air recirculation mode.
♦ A certain amount of time is required for repositioning of the air
conditioning system flaps. To prevent noxious substances
from entering the passenger compartment while the flaps are
closing (e.g. when driving through a cloud of diesel smoke), a
dust and pollen filter with an activated charcoal layer is instal‐
led. A saturated filter cannot perform this task and should be
renewed ⇒ page 9 .
♦ To prevent frequent operation of the recirculation/fresh air flap,
the flap is not actuated immediately if there is a nominal in‐
crease in harmful substances in the outside air. The sensor
does not send a request to the Climatronic control unit - J255- .
The effect of the activated charcoal filter in the dust and pollen
filter is adequate for this.

♦ To prevent frequent operation of the air recirculation/fresh air


flap, the request from the “automatic recirculation mode” sen‐
sor continues for at least 25 seconds (minimum waiting peri‐
od). This also applies when the concentration of noxious
substances in the air has reduced to a level where the air re‐
circulation mode is no longer required.
♦ If the air conditioner compressor is switched off (e.g. in ECON
mode), the maximum period of “automatic air recirculation” is
limited to approx. 15 seconds by the Climatronic control unit -
