Where is the car's air conditioning compressor located?
1 Answers
The car's air conditioning compressor is located on the engine. It is driven by a belt connected between the compressor and the engine. You can locate the compressor by identifying the belt position. The function of the car air conditioning compressor is to regulate the start-stop state of the air compressor, allowing it to rest by adjusting the pressure in the air storage tank, which has a maintenance effect on the engine. Types of car air conditioning 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.
