Chevy AC Compressor
A house is said to be a comfortable refuge
when it is equipped with enough lighting system, soft and smooth seats,
properly working appliances like fridge, television, and of course an
air conditioning system that provides the entire house with cool or
warm air whenever it is needed. This is also true to our cars. Many of
us today can still enjoy the same comfort levels that we are used to at
home. That is because of our car’s air conditioning system.
Air conditioning units can be added to most vehicles on the road, if
they did not come so equipped from the factory. A complete air
conditioning system is composed of a compressor, a condenser, hoses,
vents and a controller. In a human’s circulatory system, the heart
sends the oxygen-rich blood to every cell in the body. Blood flows
continuously through the circulatory system. The heart muscle is the
pump which makes it all possible.
In your Chevy A/C system, the Chevrolet A/C compressor plays the role
similar to heart muscle. The Chevrolet A/C compressor is a type of pump
that is driven by a belt connected to the vehicle’s engine. The Chevy
A/C compressor has intake and discharge sides. From the outlet of the
evaporator, the suction side (or intake) draws in the refrigerant gas.
The gas drawn will be compressed and will be sent to the A/C condenser.
When the hot compressed gasses enter through the top of the condenser,
simultaneously it starts to cool off. When the process of condensing is
done, the gases will exit and will be transformed into a high pressure
liquid. The process will then release cool air into the interior of
your car. This process is now the reason why you and your passengers
are kept comfortable while inside your vehicle. |
