How an AC Compressor Works
Compression
The compressor takes low-pressure refrigerant gas and compresses it, increasing temperature and pressure.
Condensation
Hot gas moves to condenser, releases heat, and condenses into liquid.
Expansion
Liquid passes through expansion valve, cooling as pressure drops.
Evaporation
Cold refrigerant absorbs heat from cabin air, cooling the interior.
Cycle Repeats
The compressor continues circulating refrigerant to maintain cooling.
