Vehicle air conditioning compressor is located in the engine compartment, usually below the generator near the engine belt. The car air conditioning compressor is installed on the engine and is driven by a belt between the compressor and the engine. You can locate the specific position of the car air conditioning compressor by finding the belt. The car air conditioning compressor is the heart of the car air conditioning refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and transporting refrigerant vapor. Compressors are divided into two types: fixed displacement and variable displacement. According to different working principles, air conditioning compressors can be classified as fixed displacement compressors and variable displacement compressors. The car air conditioning system is relatively large in a vehicle. Besides the compressor, it also includes components such as the evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, and condenser.
