Common Auto A/C Repair Vehicle Components:

• Vehicle A/C Compressor

  • The ac compressor is a belt-driven device that derives its name from compressing refrigerant gas and transferring it into the condenser. It acts as a simple pump to get the job done. The compressor is in fact the core of your car or truck’s air conditioning system.

• Air Conditioning Condenser

  • Specifically, the condenser’s primary function is to cool the refrigerant. It is a heat dissipating apparatus that radiates heat released by compressed gases and condenses them into high pressure liquids. The location of your condenser depends on how new your car is, but typically it’s found at the front of the vehicle, directly in front of the engine cooling radiator.

• Receiver (Drier) for Auto Air Conditioning System

  • The receiver, or the drier, is a metal container that serves as a storage receptacle for the refrigerant.  It absorbs moisture from the refrigerant and filters out particles of debris and harmful acids that would otherwise harm your A/C system. Commonly located on the liquid line of the A/C system, you should change your drier every 3-4 years to insure quality filtration and prevent any damage caused by these detrimental chemicals.

• Auto AC Orifice Tube/Expansion Valve

  • The orifice tube, or the thermal expansion valve, is a controlling mechanism that regulates the flow of refrigerant throughout the system. In addition to this, it also converts high-pressure liquid refrigerant (from the condenser) into a low-pressure liquid, so that it can enter the evaporator. Generally located at the evaporator inlet, the orifice tube could also be found between the condenser and the evaporator, or in the outlet of the condenser.

• Vehicle A/C Evaporator

  • The evaporator’s purpose is to remove heat from the inside of your vehicle; therefore it’s a heat exchanger that’s vital to your vehicle’s air conditioning system (not to mention your comfort). The evaporator allows the refrigerant to absorb heat, causing it to boil and change into vapor. The compressor removes the vapor from the evaporator. Thus cooling your car and reducing humidity. The evaporator houses the most refrigerant in this heat transfer process. Therefore, it is the most susceptible to corrosion by harmful acids. Usually, this damages the evaporator beyond repair, which is why it’s imperative you see us prevent this from happening.
