Car AC Compressor Replacement & RepairĪt Labrador Auto Electrics, we will provide you with a fast and reliable diagnosis of your broken car air conditioning. If it’s going to fail, this is most likely to happen after a vehicle has ran for 150,000km or more. In many cases, the AC compressor will continue working throughout the life of a vehicle. The AC compressor is an essential component of your vehicles air conditioning system, so if the compressor is faulty, your car air conditioning will not work. Whether it be from a defect or just general wear and tear, sometimes your car air conditioner’s compressor may not be functioning at maximum capacity or even stop working completely.

This was a prerequisite for the series installation of air conditioners in compact class cars.Your car air conditioning relies on the AC compressor to pressurise & circulate refrigerant gas throughout your vehicle’s air conditioning system. The compressors used in modern vehicle air conditioning systems are of compact, lightweight design. When the air conditioning system is switched on, the belt drive is set in motion by a magnetic clutch. The compressor is attached to the engine block and is driven by a pulley and a V-belt. It is then drawn in again by the compressor, where it is compressed. Here, the refrigerant absorbs the heat of the air flowing into the passenger compartment and turns back into gas at the evaporator. It is then routed to the area to be cooled. The refrigerant gas warmed in the course of compression is conveyed via pipes to the condenser, where it liquefies again, giving off heat in the process. The cold vapour is then compressed by the A/C compressor. The resultant lower pressure makes the refrigerant evaporate at low temperatures. This in turn leads to a drop in pressure in the evaporator. The compressor draws in the refrigerant gas from the evaporator. Overheating of the compressor on account of insufficient refrigerant or compressor oil in the system.Seizure of the compressor due to poor lubrication if viscosity is reduced for example by an excessive amount of UV contrast agent or the use of unsuitable universal oils.Poor conveying of refrigerant as a result of incorrect control valve actuation.The following are also possible causes of compressor damage: It is advisable to start by checking whether the compressor shaft is turning or whether there is a problem with the magnetic clutch or overload safeguard.
If damage occurs, the first step is to establish the cause of compressor failure.
