68292169AB Automotive AC Compressors For Jeep Wrangler3.6WXCK033

The compressor is the power unit of the air-conditioning system that puts the refrigerant under high pressure before it pumps it into the condenser, where it changes from a gas to a liquid. A fully functioning compressor is necessary for the air-conditioning system to provide peak performance. On most cars, A/C compressors are driven by an engine-accessory belt. If the belt is worn and slips, the compressor won’t operate at full strength. Compressors can also leak refrigerant, resulting in less cold air going into the interior. Internal parts can also fail, leading to no cold air. Not all air-conditioning problems are because the system is low on refrigerant. Some are caused by issues with system parts, such as the compressor.

 Precaution

There are some steps you can take to extend the lifespan of your AC compressor:

1. Maintain your car's cooling system: Regularly flush the radiator and change the coolant fluid to prevent any buildup or clogs that can affect the performance of the AC compressor.

2. Avoid driving in excessive heat or traffic: High temperatures and heavy traffic can put extra strain on your AC compressor. Whenever possible, try to park your car in the shade and avoid driving during the hottest parts of the day.

3.Get regular AC inspections: Have your air conditioning system inspected at least once a year by a professional mechanic. They can identify any potential issues early on, allowing you to address them before they become major problems and potentially damage the compressor.

4.Look out for warning signs: If you notice any warning signs like weak airflow, strange noises, or unpleasant smells coming from your AC system, it's important to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

Ignoring these issues can lead to more significant damage and higher repair costs. By following these tips, you can help ensure that your AC compressor remains in good condition and functions optimally for as long as possible.

Working Principle

The basic working principle of the automobile air conditioning compressor is to suck low-pressure cold gas (usually refrigerant) into the compressor cavity through the driving device, and then compress it into high-pressure and high-temperature gas. Compressors usually use piston or screw compressors. In a piston compressor, the piston moves up and down in the cavity, and the cold gas is compressed by the movement of the piston. In a screw compressor, the screw compresses the cold gas.

The compression process of the compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the cold gas. The high-pressure and high-temperature gas will then enter the condenser and be converted into high-pressure hot gas through heat dissipation, then cool and expand through the expansion valve, and finally enter the evaporator to prepare for circulation again.

Throughout the process, the compressor provides compression and conversion capabilities and is one of the key components to realize the automotive air conditioning refrigeration cycle.
