A/C Compressor

rough estimate

170 for the a/c compressor

Expansion Valve

A component that controls the flow rate of refrigerant to the evaporator.

The Evaporator low

THE COMPONENT OF THE REFRIGERANT SYSTEM WHERE HEAT IS REMOVED FROM THE PRODUCT BEING COOLED, IE. WATER OR AIR IS CALLED

Compressor Clutch

The air conditioning compressor has an electromagnetic clutch that can engage or disengage the compressor pulley. The compressor pulley always turns when the engine is running, but the compressor only runs when the pulley is engaged to the compressor driving shaft.

Compressor Belt

The compressor is engine driven by a belt on the front of the crankshaft.

The Condenser high

The condenser is a long tube that goes back and forth through a multitude of cooling fins, quite similar to the evaporator in structure. The condenser is mounted in front of the radiator to take advantage of the forced air provided by the fan and the motion of the car.

A/C Compressor

The engine drives the compressor with a belt. In action, the compressor takes the low pressure refrigerant from the evaporator and compresses it according to speed and air temperature. The inlet side is known as the low (pressure) side and the outlet side is known as the high (pressure) side

the compressor

The job of the compressor is to move liquid refrigerant around in a pipe. The compressor pumps, or forces, the liquid from the evaporator into a condenser and expansion valve, and then back to the evaporator

There are three common types of compressors:

Two cylinder reciprocating piston type Four cylinder RADIAL type Six cylinder AXIAL type
