Air Conditioner Compressor Parts 4471501702 For Benz C350 W204 WXMB112

The AC compressor is responsible for reducing the volume of the refrigerant gas, compressing it in order to complete the refrigerant cycle in the system. It can be thought of as the component that does all the heavy lifting. In order to perform this task, it requires energy, which it obtains from the engine through a pulley and shaft.

How the A/C Compressor Works 

To start, it's important to understand the connection between your A/C compressor and refrigerant. Freon is a commonly used refrigerant that turns hot air into cold air. The compressor and refrigerant work together to achieve this. In your car, the engine powers the A/C compressor, which compresses the refrigerant to absorb the hot air inside the cabin of your vehicle.

The most common type of A/C compressor is the swash plate type. It is driven by a pulley and V-belt attached to the engine block. When you turn on the A/C system, an electromagnetic clutch activates the belt drive. The swash plate moves six double-ended pistons that handle intake and compression. Reed valves control the flow of refrigerant. The refrigerant is mixed with a thin mist of oil for lubrication.

Next, the A/C compressor takes in gas from the refrigerant through the evaporator, causing a drop in pressure. This leads to the refrigerant evaporating at a low temperature. The A/C compressor then takes this cold vapor and compresses it. As a result, the refrigerant gas is warmed and pushed into the condenser through pipes. In the condenser, it becomes a liquid again and releases heat before moving to a cooling area. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the passenger compartment and returns to a gaseous state in the evaporator before being sucked in by the A/C compressor.

A/C Compressors for Cars

The A/C compressor is the driving element of the cold A/C loop and is also the most technically complex component.

There are Three main car compressor technologies:

1.Piston-Type Compressors
The piston type is the most common. This type contains swash plate technology and wobble plate technology.

2.Rotary-Type Compressors
Rotary-type compressors main axis of the rotor coincides with the center.

3.Scroll-Type Compressors
Scroll-Type Compressors dislocation creates pressure to achieve high-speed rotation.

Find Problem

Inspect air flow problems: If you're experiencing insufficient air flow from your vents, ensure that there are no blockages. Your cabin air filter might be dirty or completely obstructed. While the engine air filter is well-known, the cabin air filter can also impede air flow. Another potential cause is a malfunctioning blower motor. Before jumping to replace the AC compressors, always check the fuse box for air flow issues.

Conduct a comprehensive check: If you're unsure about the problem with your AC system, perform a thorough inspection. This is a cost-effective method that could save you money in the long term. Start by turning on your car's AC and eliminate any other distracting noises. Listen for any abnormal sounds from behind the console panel or within the engine. Additionally, assess the cooling efficiency of the AC. Look out for unusual odors as well, as they could indicate faulty components or blown fuses. Therefore, it's important to inspect the fuses too.

Monitor your AC's temperature: Similar to measuring internal body temperature with a thermometer during a fever, diagnosing potential issues with your car's AC compressor requires checking its temperature. Specifically, pay attention to the AC compressor clutch. While the AC is running, locate the compressor and identify the clutch, which appears as a small circular gear responsible for engaging the compressor belt. If the AC compressor clutch remains still despite the AC running, it indicates a problem with the compressor. You can try adjusting the belt tension or opt for a complete replacement of the AC compressor.

Detect refrigerant leaks: Just like a closed brake system in your car, any leaks in the AC system can have a detrimental impact. This can result in temperature fluctuations or even complete failure of the system. Although refrigerant leaks can sometimes be caused by a faulty AC compressor, it is not always the case. AC compressors, like any other car part, can eventually fail. While some are manufactured with the highest quality standards and rarely require replacement, most AC compressors will eventually fail.
