AC Assembly Complete If you are looking to take a car that does not have air conditioning to one that does you would need the Complete AC Assembly as listed here. This would involve several parts like the compressor, condensor, evaporator and ac lines and in most cases it can work. It would be a labor intensive process but the benefits are obvious. Driving around in warm weather with no AC is no fun at all. Its best to either first see if you can find a new complete kit or just buy the main components used and then piece together the minor components like hoses and lines from either a new part dealer or aftermarket supplier. Take you time and see if you can find a repair manual that will show you how it all works.



AC Condensor The Condensor is a main part of the air conditioning system. It aids in the cooling process and drying of the air that passes into your cars interior. It is a non-moving part unlike the compressor that simply channels the charged compressed air over its coil system to cool the air. It is usually in the same place of the AC Evaporator. Keep in that this whole system is responsible for keeping your vehicle cool especially during the gruling summer months. So get out of the heat and into your car and be cool!

AC Condensor Fan The electric cooling fan for your AC Condensor Very easy to confuse with the radiator cooling fan. This part was designed to increase cooling to the refrigerant which usually gets hot in the operation of keep you cool in the cabin of your vehicle. If asked R12 or R134a be sure to know the answer because you'd want to maintain this maintain this part in a working condition. If you're sitting at a red light or waiting for the drive through to finish, you'll find that you want to stay in the cooling of your vehicle.

AC Compressor If you have ever had your air go warm in your vehicle's interior cabin you'll most likely be familiar with the term AC Compressor. In most cases when the air starts warming up its due to either a leaking or faulty AC Compressor. There are additional parts like the AC Condenser, AC Evaporator and temperature control head (in newer electronic versions) that can control and affect the cooling process but the belt-driven ac compressor is a most common culprit. It contains a fluid called Freon that aids in the process of cooling the air that is pumped into your interior. The compressor can normally be re-charged if the leak is not too bad but in the event the compressor will not hold a charge for an extended period of time it normally means it needs to be replaced.




AC Compressor Clutch A clutch assembly is the component that sits outside the compressor that controls the turning on and turning off of the compressor which ultimately decides how long the cooled, dehmidified air runs through the vents in your car. If tihs component fails you'll have infrequent or overly frequent engagements of your compressor which could damage it or seriously impair its long term functionality.

In order for your compressor to function correctly this device, paired up with the pulley system has to function or all the Freon, evaporator and condensor work simply will not be benefitted from.

If you are having issues with this part you may want to consider a complete new or used unit as this can be a problem with installation or even cost that would offset the cost of a nice used OEM one or rebuilt compressor.

AC Evaporator A small part located just behind your dashboard, the AC Evaporator is responsible for maintaing your compartment's air at a comfortable temperature and humidity level. The evaporator takes in coolant, and evaporates it to chill the air before it is blown into the car. In a reverse fashion, it condenses any unwanted moisture and funnels it out of your car - this is that clear stream of liquid you may see when you park your vehicle on a hot day. You should be aware that in cold temperatures, this liquid can freeze to the coils and can cause problems for your AC system.
