A/C Compressors for Cars
The A/C compressor is the driving element of the cold A/C loop and
is also the most technically complex component.
There are Three main car compressor technologies:
1.Piston-Type Compressors
The piston type is the most common. This type contains swash plate
technology and wobble plate technology.
2.Rotary-Type Compressors
Rotary-type compressors main axis of the rotor coincides with the
center.
3.Scroll-Type Compressors
Scroll-Type Compressors dislocation creates pressure to achieve
high-speed rotation.
Compressor Clutch Issues
Compressor clutch issues can cause problems with the functioning of
the AC compressor. The compressor clutch is connected to the engine
by a belt and pulley and allows the compressor to cycle on and off
as needed. This helps to reduce wear on the compressor and improve
fuel economy by allowing the engine to disengage the compressor
when cool air is not required.
However, there are issues that can arise with the compressor
clutch. One potential problem is the failure of the clutch to
disengage, causing the compressor to constantly run while driving.
Conversely, the clutch may also fail to engage at all, resulting in
no operation of the compressor. Both of these scenarios are
undesirable.
While it is sometimes possible to repair the clutch, it is
generally recommended to replace the entire compressor and clutch
unit as a solution. This ensures optimal functioning and
performance of the AC system.
The compressor, which is responsible for drawing in the refrigerant
gas from the evaporator, plays a crucial role in the cooling
process. As the refrigerant gas enters the compressor, the pressure
in the evaporator decreases, thus causing a drop in pressure. This
lower pressure allows the refrigerant to evaporate at lower
temperatures, resulting in the formation of cold vapor.
The A/C compressor then comes into action by compressing this cold
vapor. During the compression process, the refrigerant gas gets
warmed up. To dissipate this heat, the warmed refrigerant gas is
transported through pipes to the condenser. In the condenser, the
refrigerant liquefies once again, releasing heat in the process.
After liquefaction, the refrigerant is directed to the area that
requires cooling. In this area, typically the passenger
compartment, the refrigerant absorbs the heat from the incoming
air. This absorption of heat causes the refrigerant to turn back
into a gas once again, completing the cycle.
Subsequently, the gas refrigerant returns to the evaporator to be
drawn in by the compressor for the next round. The compressor then
repeats the compression process to maintain the cooling cycle.
Throughout this process, the refrigerant undergoes various changes
in state, from gas to liquid and vice versa, as it continuously
absorbs and releases heat to provide cooling.
