The AC compressor is referred to as the heart of the air conditioning system. Its prime function is to compress and transfer that liquid refrigerant through a pipe. The AC compressor fulfills the pumping task assigned to it thereby enabling the flow of the liquid refrigerant from the evaporator towards the condenser and then moving it towards an expansion valve and finally sending it back to where it came from—the evaporator.

Ordinarily, AC compressors come in three main types namely the two cylinder reciprocating piston type, the four cylinder radial type and the six cylinder axial type. Two sides subdivide the AC compressor. They are known as the high pressure side and the low pressure side or oftentimes called as the discharge and intake parts. The job of drawing the refrigerant gas out of the evaporator is tasked to the high pressure or intake side. Meanwhile, as the low pressure refrigerant has been taken out of the evaporator, it is then compressed by the AC compressor clearly taking note of the speed and the air temperature. And because the processed refrigerant is being compressed, the temperature now rises. After which, the refrigerant is sent to the condenser.

Ever wondered how an AC compressor works? Featured in an AC compressor are the clutch and the drive rings on which the procedures of task-implementation depends upon. This electromagnetic clutch is able to connect and disconnect the compressor pulley which continuously rotates when the engine is in action. Only when the pulley is attached to the engine will the AC compressor work. On the other hand, the drive ring is located inside the AC refrigerant compressor. The drive ring is comprised of a friction material which makes possible the pushing of the ball bearing back and forth in time when the swash plates spin.

Saturn AC compressors may be craftily engineered to be the best and the finest in town. They may have been specifically incorporated with the most reliable materials. However, they are still machines which are mechanically operated. Thus, they become subject still to wear and tear. It is in this matter that a routinely check up is best to ensure if the Saturn AC compressors are still in the best state of condition.
