What does a car's AC compressor do

A car's AC compressor is responsible for the proper functioning of the car's air conditioning system. Its main function is to compress and circulate the refrigerant gas within the system. The compressor draws in low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator and compresses it into high-pressure gas.

By compressing the refrigerant, the AC compressor increases its temperature and pressure. This allows the refrigerant to release heat more efficiently when it reaches the condenser. The condenser helps to dissipate the heat, converting the high-pressure gas into a high-pressure liquid.

The high-pressure liquid refrigerant then travels to the expansion valve, where it undergoes a pressure drop, allowing it to convert back into a low-pressure gas. This low-pressure gas is then sent to the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the surrounding air, cooling it down.

The compressor plays a vital role in the cooling process by continuously circulating the refrigerant through the entire system. It maintains the proper pressure and flow of the refrigerant, ensuring efficient cooling performance in the car's air conditioning system.

Emergency situations

Some emergency indicators that something is wrong with your compressor include:

• Weird noises: This could be caused by a worn or broken belt/pulley. There are several other issues that may need to be addressed immediately.
• Burning smell: The compressor wiring may be damaged or burned.
• Leaking dashboard: It could be caused by a clogged hose or drain. Age and moisture can also cause your system to leak.

If you notice any of these issues, it's important to fix the problem as soon as possible.

General system

Each system may vary slightly per vehicle. For example, some may include an orifice tube whereas others have an expansion valve. This means the system has up to 7 components including:

• Compressor: compresses cool refrigerant gas into hot refrigerant gas
• Condenser and fan: converts hot refrigerant gas into a hot liquid at high pressur
• Receiver Dryer: temporarily stores refrigerant when not needed by the system
• Expansion (TX) Valve / Orifice Tube: regulates refrigerant flow / creates pressure drop
