The expansion valve for the A/C (air-conditioning) system, designed to regulate refrigerant flow into the evaporator core. Positioned between the condenser and evaporator, it drops refrigerant pressure and allows the refrigerant to expand - thus enabling effective cooling.

• Position on Vehicle: Located in the A/C refrigerant line, typically near the evaporator housing inside the HVAC unit or just downstream of the condenser, depending on model variant.
• Cross-Reference / Alternative Numbers: OEM part number: 970 573 621 00 (Sometimes printed as 970-573-621-00)
• Applications: Replacement valve for faulty or failing expansion valves in the A/C system — often necessary when cooling efficiency drops, or when other major A/C components are being replaced, to ensure the whole system operates correctly.
The expansion valve plays a critical role in the A/C system by controlling refrigerant flow and pressure drop into the evaporator. If the valve becomes clogged, sticky, or malfunctions, the result can be reduced cooling performance, erratic temperature control, or even damage to other A/C components. Replacing a worn or failing valve restores correct refrigerant metering, improves cabin comfort, and extends the life of the A/C system.
When and why to replace:
• A/C blowing warm air despite compressor and condenser functioning.
• Symptoms of frost build-up or long cooling times indicating restricted refrigerant flow.
• After replacement of condenser, evaporator or compressor - fitting a new expansion valve ensures the system is fully refreshed.
• Visible leaks or corrosion around the valve body or refrigerant line.
• When the vehicle has high mileage or original A/C components that may be nearing end-of-life.

Porsche Heating & Air Conditioning Housings | Precision Airflow & Climate System Integrity
The heating and air conditioning housing is the core structure that contains and directs airflow through your Porsche’s HVAC system. It houses essential components such as the blower motor, evaporator, heater core, and flaps — ensuring proper distribution of warm and cool air throughout the cabin. A well-sealed, correctly aligned housing maintains efficiency, airflow balance, and consistent cabin comfort.
At Design911, we offer high-quality heating and air conditioning housings designed to meet or exceed original performance standards. Built from durable, heat-resistant plastics or composite materials, these housings ensure perfect fitment, secure sealing, and long-term resistance to vibration and temperature changes.
Whether you’re restoring a classic air-cooled Porsche or maintaining a modern climate control system, our HVAC housings deliver dependable performance, improved air circulation, and precise climate regulation.
What Do Heating & Air Conditioning Housings Do?
The housing acts as the backbone of the HVAC system — securing and protecting the main components while directing air to the appropriate zones inside the cabin.
Core Functions:
- Encases the heater core, evaporator, and air distribution components.
- Directs airflow between heating, cooling, and defrosting circuits.
- Maintains system pressure and ensures efficient air movement.
- Prevents temperature loss and air leaks within the ventilation system.
- Supports the integration of climate control sensors and actuators.
Without a properly sealed housing, the HVAC system cannot deliver balanced airflow or maintain temperature consistency, reducing comfort and efficiency.
Why Do Heating & A/C Housings Fail or Degrade?
Although built for durability, housings are exposed to constant vibration, temperature fluctuations, and moisture — all of which can lead to wear or structural failure over time.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
- Cracked or warped plastic due to heat cycles.
- Damaged mounting points or seals causing air leaks.
- Corrosion
around metal fasteners or brackets.
- Blockages or debris buildup restricting airflow.
- Misalignment from improper servicing or accident damage.
- Blockages or debris buildup restricting airflow.
- Misalignment from improper servicing or accident damage.
A damaged housing can cause weak airflow, inconsistent heating or cooling, and unwanted cabin noise.
Why Replace Your Porsche Heating / A/C Housing?
Replacing a cracked or leaking housing restores correct airflow, seals, and structural integrity within your HVAC system — ensuring reliable temperature control and quiet operation.
Key Benefits:
- Restores efficient airflow and proper temperature regulation.
- Prevents air leaks and loss of heating or cooling performance.
- Ensures secure mounting for HVAC components.
- Reduces cabin noise and vibration.
- Compatible with Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, Panamera, Macan, Cayenne, and classic models.
- Ideal for restorations, climate system rebuilds, or preventative maintenance.
Upgrading to a new housing ensures the internal components operate within proper tolerances and extends the lifespan of blower motors, evaporators, and heater cores.
