Functionality air conditioning

The air conditioning compressor is an important component of a vehicle's air conditioning system. It has the task of compressing the refrigerant and directing it through the system. In the compressor, the gaseous refrigerant is put under high pressure, which increases its temperature.

This hot, compressed refrigerant is then transported to the condenser, where the refrigerant gives off its heat to the ambient air and liquefies in the process. The now cold, liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the vehicle's interior air and evaporates again. In the process, it cools the interior air. In this way, the air conditioning compressor enables effective climate control in the vehicle.
