Automobile Ac Compressor

By: Sudarshana Home | Automotive


The south was a viable place to start inventing car air conditioners. It is a very lucrative place to do business. The ac system looks very complicated but it is a simple thing.

A gas like Freon is the gas that all automobiles use for their car ac systems. The gas is then pressurized using a compressor. Then this gas goes through a belt and rings and then runs through the whole ac system which gives the cooling effect to the cabin of the car. When you look at it scientifically, the gas removes the heat rather than add cool. When you reduce the pressure, the gas can get really cold. This gas becomes a liquid when it cools.

At the start, a license was required to have an ac in the car. Now that refrigeration is a common thing, license is not required.

In general, the bell turns a pulley with an electric clutch and the ac and the clutch engages and starts pumping the compress the refrigerant. So it is simple as that. Of course, there are other items that go to make the ac work smoothly.

In this traditional approach there are two drawbacks. They are the compressor needs a fair amount of power and the ac compressor will produce low flow when the engine is idling.

If you install a variable displacement pump, you can eliminate the clutch. In order that the compressor does not do anything when it rotates, the swash plate on the compressor can be set to a flat position.

Finally, when you look into a car ac system the most important things are AC compressor, evaporator, condenser, receiver/dryer (or accumulator) and the thermal expansion valve (or orifice tube).
This is a brief description about the automobile AC system.
