97701H6100 Auto Air Condition Compressor For KIA K2 For Rio 1.4 WXKA024

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.

AC compressor replacement process.

1. Drain the refrigerant: Before starting the disassembly, the technician needs to use special equipment to drain the refrigerant from the entire air conditioning system to ensure work safety. This is very important because refrigerants are toxic and harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere.

2. Remove the drive belt: The technician will remove the drive belt from the AC compressor clutch pulley and separate the clutch from the wires. This makes it easier to remove and replace the compressor.

3. Disconnect the refrigeration lines: The technician will need to disconnect the low-pressure and high-pressure refrigeration lines that are connected to the compressor body. These lines are usually connected by quick connectors that technicians can remove using special tools.

4. Replace the compressor: The technician will unbolt the damaged compressor and remove it. They will then install a new AC compressor and re-tighten it.

5. Reconnect lines and drive belts: Once the new compressor is installed, technicians will reconnect the low-pressure and high-pressure refrigeration lines. They will then reattach the drive belt and wires, making sure everything is connected correctly.

6. Refrigerant charge: After replacing the compressor, the refrigerant in the air conditioning system has been drained, so the technician needs to recharge the refrigerant according to the manufacturer's specifications. This often requires the use of special tools and equipment to ensure proper filling.

7. Verify system operation: Once the refrigerant charge is complete, the technician will test and confirm that the AC system is operating properly. They will check various functions of the air conditioner, such as the amount of air being blown out and the temperature, to make sure everything is working properly.

This is the rough AC compressor replacement process. Remember, before any air conditioning system repair or replacement work is performed, it is best to have it performed by a professional air conditioning technician to ensure the work is done safely and correctly.

Some AC compressor problems and solutions include:

1. Clutch is not working: If the clutch is not working, you may hear the pulley turning but the compressor not running. The solution to this problem is to replace the clutch assembly.

2. Compressor failure: If the compressor itself fails, the air conditioning system will not work properly. This may require replacement of the entire compressor unit.

3. Refrigerant leakage: Once refrigerant leaks, the air conditioning system will not be able to provide cold air. Check the system for refrigerant leaks, repair and refill the system with refrigerant.

4. Electrical problems: Electrical problems may cause the clutch to not work properly, or cause the AC power to be interrupted. Check electrical connections and wiring and repair any faults.

Remember, when dealing with any AC system problem, it's best to have a professional technician diagnose and fix the problem.
