In a closed AC system, the cooling of freon in the evaporator
occurs due to a sharp change in pressure: liquid freon under high
pressure passes through a narrow opening, atomizing and instantly
cooling.
The task of the compressor is to pump refrigerant (freon) from the
low-pressure circuit (from the condenser radiator) to the
high-pressure circuit (to the evaporator radiator) with its
simultaneous compression, which means an increase in temperature.
In the condenser, the freon is cooled and turns into a liquid
state, after which it enters the condenser again.
The AC compressor is sometimes referred to as the "heart" of the
system, so its smooth operation is so important for the normal
operation of the air conditioner. At the same time, the compressor
is also heavily loaded.
Goods Picture
When an automotive air conditioning compressor is damaged, it can
manifest in various signs and symptoms. Here are some common
indications of compressor damage:
1. Lack of cooling: One of the primary signs of a faulty compressor
is a decrease in the cooling capacity of the air conditioning
system. The air blown into the cabin may not be as cold as it used
to be. This can be attributed to a lack of compression and reduced
refrigerant circulation.
2. Loud noises: A damaged compressor may produce unusual and loud
noises during operation. These noises can include grinding,
squealing, or rattling sounds. Such sounds indicate internal
mechanical issues or loose components within the compressor.
3. Leaking refrigerant: If you notice refrigerant leaking from the
compressor or any other component of the AC system, it can indicate
compressor damage. Leaks are often caused by worn-out seals or
cracks in the compressor housing, resulting in a loss of
refrigerant.
4. Excessive vibration: A damaged compressor may cause abnormal
vibrations in the vehicle. These vibrations can be felt through the
steering wheel, dashboard, or entire cabin. Excessive vibration can
indicate internal damage or misalignment of compressor components.
5. AC system failure: In severe cases, a damaged compressor can
lead to a complete failure of the air conditioning system. The
compressor may seize, preventing any refrigerant circulation and
resulting in no cooling at all.
If any of these signs are observed, it is advisable to have the
compressor inspected and repaired by a certified technician. Prompt
attention to compressor damage can prevent further damage to the AC
system and ensure optimal cooling performance in the vehicle

Refrigerant Leaks
As time passes, the seals in your AC system may deteriorate,
leading to refrigerant leaks. These seals are essential for keeping
the AC system tightly sealed, and when they wear down, refrigerant
can escape, reducing your AC's cooling performance.
Additionally, accidents or impacts to your vehicle can cause damage
to AC components, leading to leaks. Even small collisions or debris
hitting the AC parts can result in refrigerant leaks, eventually
affecting the compressor.
Contaminants
Moisture can infiltrate the AC system, causing corrosion and
potentially damaging the compressor. Moisture is harmful to the AC
system as it can chemically react with the refrigerant, forming
corrosive acids that harm the compressor. Furthermore, dust, dirt,
or debris can accumulate within the system, affecting compressor
function. These contaminants can block filters, obstruct expansion
valves, and lead to poor compressor performance.
Excessive Pressure
Blockages in the expansion valve or orifice tube can create
high-pressure conditions that put stress on the compressor. When
these parts become blocked, refrigerant flow is restricted, causing
pressure buildup in the system that can harm the compressor.
Additionally, adding too much refrigerant can result in excessive
pressure, which can also damage the compressor. Overcharging often
occurs due to DIY refrigerant additions or unskilled service work.
Without proper lubrication, compressor components can experience friction and wear. The compressor relies on a specific type and amount of oil for smooth operation. Insufficient oil levels can lead to premature wear and failure. Leaks in the oil supply can also deprive the compressor of essential lubrication. Oil leaks within the AC system can reduce lubrication, causing damage to moving parts within the compressor.
Like all mechanical parts, AC compressors have a finite lifespan and can wear out due to regular use. Over time, the compressor’s internal components can experience wear and tear, leading to decreased efficiency or outright failure.
Issues with the AC clutch, such as a worn-out clutch plate or faulty wiring, can prevent the compressor from engaging. The clutch is responsible for engaging and disengaging the compressor. If it malfunctions, the compressor won’t function properly.
Neglecting to change the cabin air filter or clean AC components can lead to compressor strain. Accumulated dirt and debris within the system can impede airflow, causing the compressor to work harder. Failing to check and replace refrigerant as needed can affect the compressor’s performance. Regular refrigerant checks and maintenance are essential to keep the compressor operating optimally.
Running the AC system at high settings and for extended periods can lead to premature compressor wear. Prolonged use at high cooling levels can stress the compressor more, potentially reducing its lifespan.
Very hot or cold weather conditions can place additional stress on the compressor, impacting its performance and longevity. Extreme temperatures can cause the compressor to work harder, potentially leading to wear and tear.
