The A/C compressor plays a crucial role in the refrigerant cycle by compressing the gas to facilitate the overall system operation. It can be viewed as the hard-working component that carries out the bulk of the work. To accomplish this function, it necessitates energy which is acquired from the engine via a pulley and shaft.

Maintaining Your A/C Compressor

1. Use the compressor regularly to ensure proper lubrication of all system components.

2. Charge the refrigerant to maintain the correct pressure levels in the air conditioning system.

3. Clean and tighten the drive belts when necessary.

4. Conduct electrical checks on switches, sensors, and the EM clutch's fuse, relay, and coil.

The most common causes of A/C compressor failure are wear-and-tear due to age or neglect. In the event of a compressor failure, it will need to be replaced. It's important to note that if you choose to replace it with a re-manufactured compressor, you will need a recovery machine to safely extract the refrigerant and protect the atmosphere.

A/C Compressor Working Principle

To start with, understanding the connection between your A/C compressor and refrigerant is crucial. Freon, a commonly used refrigerant, is a type of fluid that transforms hot air into cold air. This refrigerant and the compressor work closely together. The A/C compressor, propelled by your car's engine, has a main role of compressing the refrigerant to absorb the heated air inside your vehicle's cabin.

The most commonly used type of A/C compressor is the swash plate type, which is driven by a pulley and V-belt that connects to the engine block. When you switch on the A/C system, the electromagnetic clutch sets the belt drive in motion. The swash plate contains six double-ended pistons that oscillate to perform intake and compression. The flow of refrigerant is controlled by reed valves. Additionally, a thin mist of oil circulates and mixes with the refrigerant to provide lubrication to the moving parts.

Next, the A/C compressor takes in gas from the refrigerant through the evaporator, leading to a drop in pressure. This lowered pressure causes the refrigerant to evaporate at a low temperature before being compressed by the A/C compressor. During compression, the refrigerant gas is warmed and pushed into the condenser through pipes. In the condenser, it re-liquefies and releases heat before moving to an area for cooling. The refrigerant then absorbs heat from the passenger compartment and returns to a gas state in the evaporator before being drawn in by the A/C compressor.
