Compressor Without A/C Clutch






A/C Refrigerant System Component Description

Compressor without A/C Clutch





The compressor is driven continuously via a belt on the engine.

Low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator is compressed by the compressor. After compression, the refrigerant gas (now high-pressure) flows to the condenser.

Refrigerant system pressures and A/C outlet temperatures are regulated by external control of A/C Compressor Regulator Valve ( N280).
