AC COMPRESSOR PROBLEMS & WARNING SIGNS

One of the most common problems is that the clutch will burn our or sometimes the bearings will fail. If the bearings or clutch is shot it is usually necessary to replace the AC compressor. In most cases it is more cost effective to replace the compressor instead of trying to order parts and repair one. Other problems that AC compressors have is bad Ac seals which will leak AC oil or refrigerant. There is no way to replace seals on an AC compressor, so replacement is necessary if this is the problem. There are signs that point to AC compressor problems such as sludge or debris in the AC system. A flush might remove the sludge or debris but if it can’t a replacement may be best. There are 11 common signs that are common with AC compressor issues, read about them below.

AC COMPRESSOR PARTS

The AC Compressor is made up of various parts such as pistons and valves. Over time wear will cause these parts to stop working and your AC compressor to need repair or replacement. For an AC compressor to function properly you need an electrical connector, clutch, and bearing that’s in good working condition. A serpentine belt controls the clutch which engages the AC compressor when you turn on your vehicle’s AC system.

AC COMPRESSOR

The compressor is the very beating heart of your car air conditioning system. Its job is to compress and transfer the refrigerant through the system. It’s fastened to the engine and is driven by the serpentine belt or chain, depending on your vehicle model. AC systems are divided into high and low pressure sides. The AC compressor functions as a pump in your car’s air conditioning system and therefore must have an intake and a discharge side. The intake of the AC compressor pulls the refrigerant in from the evaporator. The compressor then takes the refrigerant that came from the evaporator and compresses it into the condenser for heat transfer from the vehicle.

AC CONDENSER

The condenser is where heat dissipation happens. The condenser resembles in a lot of models of cars the radiator. They have about the same function to dissipate heat, one from the engine, the other as part of the AC system. In some models the condenser sits in front of the radiator, but not always. It’s important for the condenser to always have sufficient air flow either by air moving through the engine bay or with electronic fans. The job of the condenser is to take the hot refrigerant gas from the compressor and cool them off. As the refrigerant gases cool it condenses back into a high pressure liquid and exists the bottom of the condenser.

AC EVAPORATOR

The AC evaporator is inside your car and functions to absorb heat. It has several important functions as part of your AC system. The main focus of the evaporator is to take the heat out of your car. Another job the evaporator does is to remove humid air. As the warm air travels through the evaporator the moisture condenses on the evaporator coil’s aluminum fins. Pollen and dust also get removed via the evaporator and are drained outside your vehicle. The ideal operating temperature for the evaporator is freezing, or 32°F. The refrigerant that’s been condensed and cooled enters the evaporator as a low pressure liquid and quickly boils when it is exposed to the warm air from the vehicle. The boiling point for refrigerant is extremely low and it does the job of absorbing immense quantities of heat from the system.

AC COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT PROCESS

The process to replace an air compressor may vary some depending on make and model, but there are some common steps between almost all vehicles. Read about the process below. These are the general steps that our technicians follow when replacing an AC compressor. Some models and makes may have slight variations for the steps or extra steps. We stay current on all types of refrigerant, AC compressors, and equipment for all brands of cars, trucks, suvs, and vans.

STEP 1 – CHECK AC SYSTEM PRESSURE
STEP 2 – CHECK FOR POWER AND GROUND ON COMPRESSOR
STEP 3 – REMOVE ALL REFRIGERANT FROM A BAD COMPRESSOR
STEP 4 – UNINSTALL THE COMPRESSOR, TUBES, DRIER, & EXPANSION VALVE
STEP 5 – FLUSH THE SYSTEM OF DEBRIS AND SLUDGE

STEP 6 – INSTALL NEW COMPRESSOR AND PARTS
STEP 7 – RECHARGE THE SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT
STEP 8 – VERIFY THERE ARE NOT LEAKS
STEP 9 – TEST THE AC SYSTEM FOR COLD AIR AND GOOD FLOW
