Airtex Automotive Division 3545086 A/C Expansion Valve Orifice Tube

The Airtex Automotive Division 3545086 is a precision-engineered air conditioning expansion valve, also known as an A/C orifice tube. This critical component regulates refrigerant flow within your vehicle's air conditioning system, controlling the pressure drop as refrigerant passes from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side of the A/C system.

Key Features:

• Essential component for proper A/C system operation and cooling performance
• Regulates refrigerant flow and pressure for optimal system efficiency
• Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for reliable performance
• Designed to prevent system contamination and refrigerant flow restriction
• Direct replacement for Volvo OEM part number 3545086

The orifice tube is a wear component that can become clogged with debris or contaminants over time, resulting in reduced cooling performance or warm air from the A/C vents. Regular replacement during A/C system service helps maintain optimal cooling efficiency and prevents strain on other system components like the compressor. Airtex delivers quality aftermarket air conditioning components backed by extensive OEM supplier experience.
