A/C Compressor - Operation

OPERATION - A/C COMPRESSOR





After the Electromagnetic Clutch has produced the frictional connection between the engine and the compressor, the drive shaft (1) drives the swash plate (3). The rotation of the inclined swash plate (3) causes the pistons (4) to move in strokes. During the intake stroke, refrigerant vapor is sucked in via the inlet valve (6). If the piston (4) moves in the counter direction, it delivers the refrigerant vapor via the pressure control valve (7), with the vapor being compressed and heating up, into the refrigerant line to the condenser.
