Compressors

A compressor is the heart of the air conditioning system. It pumps the refrigerant throughout the air conditioning system. The compressor is mounted to the engine and mostly driven by the crankshaft with a belt. It is mostly switched on and off by an electromagnetic clutch. The compressor comes in different types: a piston compressor, as fixed or variable displacement type and rotary-vane and scroll compressor. Being a high technologic product it will suffer as first from lack of maintenance and bad repair.
