How Often Should a Car Air Conditioning Compressor Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The lifespan of a car air conditioning compressor is generally around 10 years, but the exact replacement interval depends on the quality of the compressor and the frequency of use. Below is some relevant information about the air conditioning compressor: 1. The main maintenance and care for a car air conditioning compressor involve checking the tension of the compressor belt. The car air conditioning compressor is the heart of the car's air conditioning refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and transporting refrigerant vapor. 2. The function of the compressor is to compress gaseous refrigerant, increasing its pressure. During this process, the refrigerant remains in a gaseous state, but with increased pressure and slightly elevated temperature. The gaseous refrigerant then passes through a condenser to become liquid, and then through an expansion tube, where the high-pressure liquid refrigerant expands and absorbs heat, turning back into a gaseous state and lowering the temperature, thereby achieving the cooling effect.
