Minimized wear on AC components with no clutch cycling or pressure spikes
Quiet Operation
Consistent performance without temperature fluctuations
Step-by-Step Installation Guide for QiRun Valves
Pre-Installation Preparation
Before installing your QiRun AC Compressor Control Valve, follow these critical steps:
- Verify Compatibility: Cross-check your vehicle's make/model and compressor brand with our extensive OEM database
- Inspect Components: Ensure the valve housing is free of damage and solenoid connector pins are clean
Installation Best Practices
Step 1: Drain Refrigerant
Use a certified recovery machine to empty the AC system—never release refrigerant into the air.
Step 2: Remove Old Valve
Disconnect the compressor electrical harness, then unbolt the old valve. Clean the compressor valve port thoroughly.
Step 3: Install QiRun Valve
Align the valve's O-ring with the compressor port. Tighten bolts to specified torque in a crisscross pattern.
Step 4: Reconnect Harness
Plug the solenoid connector into the vehicle's ECU wiring (color-coded pins ensure correct fit).
Step 5: Evacuate & Recharge
Evacuate the system with a vacuum pump, then recharge with OE-spec refrigerant and PAG oil.
Maintenance Tips for Longevity
- Regular Inspections: Check valve connections during routine service
- Avoid Overcharging: Excess refrigerant pressure can damage the valve
- Core Exchange Program: Return old valves for a 30% discount on new purchases
