What is the AC Compressor?

AC compressor is one of the core components to realize the necessary circulation of AC system.  Its main role is to apply the necessary pressure (compression) to the refrigerant of the car to activate its heat transfer characteristics and change the temperature. This allows you to stay cool in the warmer months.

Four signs of AC compressor failure:

--Hot Air

The purpose of turning on a car's AC is to let cold air pass through the vents. However, if your AC system is not maintained, you may find that there is hot air in the car. Hot air is a sign of AC compressor failure, and may also be a sign of insufficient refrigerant. You'll notice that the air seems to be getting warmer over time.

--Fluid Leaks

AC compressors have internal bearings that prevent refrigerant from leaking out of the compressor. The compressor's job is to pressurize the refrigerant to help it cool. Due to the constant pressurized environment inside the compressor, this will wear out the bearings over time. Worn or damaged bearings can leak refrigerant.

--Strange Sound

When you turn on the AC in your car, you may hear some strange sounds, if you hear it, it may be a problem with the compressor. Once this part starts to fail, it may make a grinding or whining sound when it starts. These sounds are caused by damage to internal parts such as bearings. Turn off the AC to see if the sound stops, then turn it back on to see if the sound returns. If so, there's something wrong with the AC.

--Stuck Clutch

The AC compressor has a clutch, which is connected to the vehicle's engine to obtain power from the engine. The compressor uses power only when needed, but if the AC compressor clutch or its pulley is stuck, the compressor will not work because it will not gain any power. The clutch itself cannot be replaced. If it gets stuck, you have to replace the compressor.
