How Long Does a Car Air Conditioning Compressor Last?
1 Answers
Car air conditioning compressors typically last around 10 years. The replacement interval for a car AC compressor is determined by the compressor's quality and frequency of use. The functions of the compressor include: regulating the start-stop state of the air compressor, allowing the air compressor to shut down and rest by adjusting the pressure in the air storage tank, which helps maintain the engine. Types of compressors include: swash plate compressors, vane compressors, scroll compressors, and reciprocating compressors. Their working principle involves drawing refrigerant from the low-pressure area, compressing it, and then sending it to the high-pressure area for cooling and condensation. The heat is dissipated into the air through the radiator, and the refrigerant changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state, with increased pressure.
