Nissens 92177 A/C Evaporator Core

Nissens 92177 A/C Evaporator Core

The Nissens 92177 A/C evaporator core is an aluminum replacement component for BMW HVAC systems that use R134A refrigerant. Built with brazed cooling fins, it supports efficient heat transfer inside the climate control system for BMW X3, 325Ci, 330Ci, M3, 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi, 323Ci, 323i, 328Ci, and 328i applications.

Key Features

• Aluminum evaporator core construction for corrosion resistance and thermal efficiency
• Brazed cooling fins for consistent airflow and heat exchange performance
• Designed for R134A refrigerant systems
• Direct replacement style for select BMW HVAC applications
• Nissens part number 92177 for catalog and cross-reference lookup

Product Details

Nissens develops thermal management components with a focus on OE-style fit and material quality. The 92177 evaporator core is built to serve as the in-dash heat exchanger in the air conditioning system, where refrigerant absorbs cabin heat before returning to the compressor circuit. Its aluminum construction and brazed fin design support stable performance in BMW climate control systems, including BMW X3 and BMW 3 Series coupe, sedan, and M3 applications listed below. This part cross-references Spectra Premium 1010138 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Refrigerant-side leaks caused by a worn evaporator core
• Reduced HVAC efficiency from internal corrosion or fin damage
• Air conditioning performance loss in BMW X3 and BMW 325i/330i platforms
• Service replacement for aging R134A evaporator assemblies

Installation Notes

Verify refrigerant type, core dimensions, and vehicle-specific HVAC configuration before installation. The evaporator core is located inside the climate control housing, so access typically requires dash or HVAC case disassembly. Inspect seals, lines, and related A/C components during service, and evacuate and recharge the system according to BMW service procedures after installation.
