Product Description

Car Air Conditioner Compressor 5S14 Model AC Compressor For Universal Truck 508

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.

General system

Each system may vary slightly per vehicle. For example, some may include an orifice tube whereas others have an expansion valve. This means the system has up to 7 components including:

1. Compressor: compresses cool refrigerant gas into hot refrigerant gas
2. Condenser and fan: converts hot refrigerant gas into a hot liquid at high pressur
3. Receiver Dryer: temporarily stores refrigerant when not needed by the system
4. Expansion (TX) Valve / Orifice Tube: regulates refrigerant flow / creates pressure drop
5. Evaporator: cools air before entering cabin
6. Heater Core: warms air before entering cabin (uses engine coolant rather than refrigerant)
7. Blower Motor: fans hot or cold air into the cabin

Main problem

Poor AC performance can often be attributed to either compressor failure or low refrigerant levels. Unfortunately, these components work closely together, making it difficult to determine the exact cause of your AC troubles. So how can you determine if it is a compressor issue? There are a few subtle symptoms to be aware of:

1. Insufficient Cooling: If your AC system is not producing cold air or if it takes a long time to cool the cabin, it could be a sign of compressor dysfunction.

2. Unusual Noises: If you hear unusual noises, such as grinding or squealing, coming from the engine area while the AC is running, it may indicate a problem with the compressor.

3. AC Clutch Problems: If the AC clutch does not engage or disengage properly or if it constantly cycles on and off, it could be a sign of compressor malfunction.

4. Refrigerant Leaks: If you notice a decrease in the amount of refrigerant in your AC system, it may be due to a compressor issue.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is advisable to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified technician to properly diagnose and resolve the problem.
