When And Why Should You Replace Your Car AC Compressor?

 

• AC compressor is the most important part of the air-conditioning unit.
• The Car AC Compressor ensures that the unit works effectively while playing a major role in cooling.
• The compressor puts necessary pressure on the refrigerant and activates its heat transfer characteristic to change the temperature.  Keeping the insides of the car cool in the hot summer months.

What are the parts and variations of a car AC Compressor?

• The compressor has two ports, an inlet/ suction and an outlet/discharge port.
• The housing includes the compressor inlet duct, inlet for compressor wheel, oil filter and valves, refrigerant pipe connections and the connecting points. The pulley with the electromagnetic clutch.
• Compressions have different variations and though they perform the same job, they work in different ways.
• The Reciprocating AC compressor.
• The Scroll or SpiralAC compressor. 
• The Screw AC compressor.
• Rotary vane AC compressor.
• Centrifugal AC compressor.
• Compressors found in electrically driven vehicles, hybrid vehicles.
  

How does the car AC Compressor work?

• The AC compressor compresses the refrigerant when the engine is propelled. 
• The heat is absorbed from inside the vehicle cabin. 
• The compressor is driven by the pulley or V-belt in swashplate compressors, the commonly used compressor type. It is attached to the engine. 
• The six double-ended pistons responsible for intake and compressions oscillates as the AC switch is pushed and the electromagnetic clutch sets the belt drive in motion. 
• The reed valve regulates the refrigerant flow which mixes with a thin mist of oil to lubricate the moving parts. 
• As the AC Compressor takes the gas from the refrigerant, the pressure drops with evaporation. 
• The refringent evaporates at a lower temperature and the AC compressor takes that cold vapor to compress it. 
• The refrigerant gas is warmed during this compression and moves through pipes in the condenser. 
• The gas reliquefies and moves to the cooling area, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the cabin changing to a gaseous state and is sucked by the AC compressor.
  

Signs for replacement of a car AC compressor

• The first sign is that the AC is not cooling as efficiently as it did before. If the compressor is damaged, it cannot regulate the refrigerant flow properly. 
• Loud noises when the AC is switched on.
• If the car clutch breaks or fails to work, the compressor does not receive enough engine power. 
• Check the vents for obstruction, the cabin air and filter clogging can lead to imperfection in airflow. 
• AC compressors are difficult to repair, and replacement is the best option. 
• Check the fuse before you decide on a replacement. 
• A malfunction in the AC compressor can lead to refrigerant leaks. Look out for leaks.
  

What to check when buying a used AC compressor?

• Make sure that the drier and orifice tube is replaced.
• Replace the condenser/TXV and flush all the lines and evaporator core.
• It is hard to flush the condenser, but make sure the metal is washed out thoroughly as you do not want metal parts to run back on the compressor, which will cause failure again.
