Piston-Type Compressors

The automotive air conditioning compressor is a crucial component of the AC system, responsible for compressing and circulating the refrigerant. It consists of several key parts that work together to achieve effective cooling.

1. Compressor Housing: The outer shell of the compressor, designed to enclose and protect the internal components.

2. Compressor Pulley: A pulley attached to the front of the compressor, connected to the engine via a belt. It transfers power from the engine to drive the compressor.

3. Clutch Assembly: The clutch allows the compressor to engage and disengage as required. It consists of an electromagnetic coil, friction plates, and a hub.

4. Swash Plate: This component converts the rotational motion of the compressor shaft into a reciprocating or up-and-down motion. It is responsible for compressing the refrigerant.

5. Piston: Linked to the swash plate, the piston moves up and down within the compressor cylinder to compress the refrigerant gas.

6. Reed Valves: These one-way valves control the flow of refrigerant into and out of the cylinder. They prevent backflow and ensure efficient compression.

7. Oil Separator: Located within the compressor housing, it separates the refrigerant oil from the refrigerant gas before it leaves the compressor.

8. Shaft Seal: This seal prevents refrigerant from leaking out and contaminants from entering the compressor. It ensures the integrity of the system.

9. Control Valve: Some compressors have a control valve that regulates the flow of refrigerant based on the cooling demands of the vehicle.

10. Mounting Brackets: These brackets secure the compressor to the engine or chassis, keeping it stable and in the correct position.

Each of these components plays a crucial role in the operation of the automotive air conditioning compressor. Their proper functioning ensures efficient cooling and overall performance of the AC system in vehicles.
