AC Compressor

An AC compressor is a critical component of an air conditioning system, responsible for pressurizing and circulating the refrigerant to enable heat exchange. It plays a crucial role in cooling both automotive and home HVAC systems.

How It Works:

1. Compression: The compressor takes in low-pressure refrigerant gas and compresses it into a high-pressure, high-temperature gas.
2. Heat Dissipation: This hot gas then moves to the condenser, where it releases heat and turns into a liquid.
3. Cooling Cycle: The liquid refrigerant then flows through the expansion valve and evaporator coil, cooling the air before being recirculated.

Types of AC Compressors:

• Reciprocating Compressor – Uses pistons like an engine to compress refrigerant.
• Scroll Compressor – Uses two spiral-shaped scrolls to compress
