COOL RUNNINGS
NISSENS shares some points about AC components and their
latest range updates to keep customers cool over the warmer months.
With hotter days soon approaching, attention on automotive air
conditioning (AC) systems will be gaining traction once again. Nissens
air conditioning components now cover over 1,900 references across
compressors, condensers, dryers, evaporators and blower motors.
Currently, more than 600 references covering over 85% of Nissens
condenser sales feature protection coating for extended durability. With
the correct O-rings in the product box (First Fit), perfect finish and
product fit in accordance to OE requirements, Nissens condensers are
manufactured for smooth and convenient installation.
QUALITY THROUGH DESIGN
Designed, manufactured and tested according to match OE quality,
Nissens goes to extensive lengths to ensure that their components
maintain extended durability. To serve the aftermarket better, Nissens
harnesses their wealth of experience and expertise to continue
developing quality components that are easy to install.
MAINTAINING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
The air conditioning system should be used year-round and serviced
once every two years with an oil change and a new receiver dryer to
maintain optimum performance (More than 580 Nissens condensers
now come with integrated dryers). This provides an upsell opportunity
to motor factors as garages will not need to purchase two separate items
for the job.
The First Fit concept also ensures that all compressors in range are
equipped with O-rings and pre-filled with PAG Oil. However, it is
important for installers to always check the oil level before fitting the
unit to ensure proper lubrication and avoid the pistons and other
moving parts from seizing.
DID YOU KNOW?
A growing range of Nissens products come with
‘First Fit’ features. This means that they come
with auxiliary items that an installer would need
to fit the part easily and correctly.
To help ensure that technicians maintain best replacement practices,
Nissens will also offer training on air conditioning servicing. More
information is available on their website:

PROTECTED QUALITY FROM THE START
When Nissens introduced corrosion protection, it was well received
by the aftermarket as it improved the general service lifespan of the
condenser and connected AC components.
The condenser is particularly susceptible to corrosion which impacts
the integrity of its construction. Corroded or missing fins significantly
reduce the performance of the condenser which will compromise the
reliability of the general air conditioning system. When the condenser is
faulty, it can lead to an excessive overload of the compressor, causing it
to overheat and seize up.
CATERING FOR AFTERMARKET DEMANDS
Nissens continually develops its air conditioning range to meet the
demands of the aftermarket. With more than 100 NTR references due
for launch across the air conditioning programme this year, the range
will soon cover over 4 million vehicles across the UK.
Fully catalogued on the F:Drive and MAM Autocat, Nissens air
conditioning components are available from FPS via same/next-
day delivery. For more information, please speak to your local FPS
