The ring on the Pistons trap the lubricating oil forming a "seal". It's not perfect as oil and gas can still leak past the piston but it does the job. Nice video though, definitely one of the best explanations I've seen.

[@speedkar99]

That's what I was wondering too

[@harlanmcdiarmid]

Works the same as a axeual piston hydraulic pump or motor

[@beezertwelvewashingbeard8703]

I think if it had piston rings, it would build up too much pressure and blow a hose or o-ring. Probably it's a way to self regulate internal pressure.

[@teravolt6113]

+Special Ed This is a fixed displacement compressor. It can't "self regulate internal pressure" in any way except the clutch being turned off by the low pressure switch when the suction pressure goes down too much and by the high pressure switch when the discharge pressure goes up way too much. The one of this compressor is a tried and tested design, also employed for some huge compressors meant to cool city buses down, so the piston rings surely won't do any harm at all. In fact the Ford FS10 has piston rings. However piston rings aren't strictly necessary as a seal; the piston itself can be covered in Teflon for example.

[@speedkar99]

Sure do thanks

[@RJ9mech]

This may have been covered before, but here goes. You mentioned the lack of piston rings, and that is a good observation. In variable displacement hydraulic pumps of a similar but slightly different design, the leakage past the pistons is engineered to provide lubrication and cooling to the internal mechanism. In this case, I could be completely off base, but it seems that in a fixed positive displacement multiple piston pump, this may also be the case. The leakage and subsequent lubrication would likely be balanced with the required output pressure to reach the rated output while still protecting the internal mechanism. Interesting presentation! I didn't realize that there was a fwd and aft bank of pistons in an automotive A/C compressor. 👍

[@teravolt6113]

If you look carefully you'll notice the piston has a thin sleeve of something (maybe a polymer) around. This might be the actual seal. The old Delphi CVC (seemingly a Calsonic Kansei design by the way) on my Vauxhall has piston rings and it's a variable displacement compressor (pressure in the crankcase, controlled by a control valve, and in front of the piston is what controls the swash plate angle). However the pistons are only single-acting.

Aircraft hydraulic pumps work the same way, but the swash plate angle can vary from flat (no pumping) to a max angle for full flow as needed.

[@speedkar99]

Good call, thanks

[@dougankrum3328]

Back in the 1990;s I worked in an A/C shop...some of the higher end cars had a more complicated Compressor with a constant running pump, but variable swash plate...

[@teravolt6113]

The Delphi CVC compressor on my car does exactly the same thing. A valve senses the suction pressure and sets the plate angle to nearly flat when it reaches a control value (nearly flat angle is set by routing the crankcase pressure to the suction so that the pistons are pushed forwards and the plate angle increases, depressed angle is instead set by routing some of the discharge pressure into the crankcase so that the discharge pressure pushes the pistons backwards). The suction pressure control value is also influenced by discharge pressure, i.e. you get ice cold air in the summer when discharge pressures are high because it takes a low suction pressure for the compressor to destroke, and fresh dry air in the winter when the discharge pressures are low because the required suction pressure value increases. Very efficient. It makes different noises whether it's in maximum stroke or minimum stroke and it tends to be much quieter in the former case, and i can tell if a regas is needed by listening to the noise the compressor alone makes. Also the plate always starts rotating at nearly flat angle so that you never get the "bang" noise of liquid slugs. However the pistons aren't double acting.

The sensor could also be a thermal switch that opens as soon as the compressor gets too hot (for example: low lubricant return, very high head pressure, low refrigerant).

Not on that car. The thermal switches you're talking about are normally external. I see them on all the Hondas I work on. The reasonI know that speed sensor is i worked for a Toyota dealership and did the training on them.

[@teravolt6113]

@@robertrocheville7769 Well, thanks for clarifying. I know that a lot of scroll and vane compressors usually employed on Japanese cars have a thermal switch placed in series with the clutch coil, and this switch is located opposite to the clutch assembly (looks a lot like the solenoid valve of a clutchless swashplate compressor). Supposed to keep the compressor from overheating due to a low refrigerant charge, because there usually isn't a pressure switch on the low side (there's only a binary/trinary switch or a pressure transducer located on the high side; cycling is via an evaporator temperature sensor)

[@Yathuprem]

Why the vapours must pass through the compressor, why not directly from the evaporator to condenser? Is it for efficiency or something

[@jptrainor]

The refridgerant evaporates at low temp and condenses at a higher temp. The compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant vapour such that it will cool and condense back to liquid at the abient temperatures the condenser is exposed to.

[@Yathuprem]

hmm. thanks buddy

[@giovannifoulmouth7205]

I thought the refrigerant evaporates at low pressure, not low temp.

[@jptrainor]

They are both low. It drops in pressure, and therefore temperature due to expansion at the expansion valve and is in a saturated state. The remaining liquid refrigerant evaporates at that low temp. Check a saturation chart - I think it is typically down around -10 C (30 psi, 200 kpa) for R134a at the low side pressure in a car AC system. It emerges from the evaporator as a super heated gas at the same low pressure. Then the compressor boosts the pressure, it goes to the condenser, releases the heat, turns back to liquid. And the process repeats.

If you live in countries with very cold winter climate, such as Canada or Russia for example, try doing this during every warm spell.

[@GreenGuyDIY]

Great tear down and explanation. I would say that turning on the AC even in winter to "make sure it is working" is inadequate. You want to do that to circulate the oil through the system and allow the dryer to remove any water that might have condensed in the system. Letting the parts dry out from lack of oil distribution or collecting water in one place and letting set will degrade the life span of the parts in the system.

[@teravolt6113]

Anyway you will eventually need a new compressor even when it doesn't seize up... see that black jacket around the piston (likely Teflon)? It acts as a piston seal. Even if it's correctly lubed up, it wears away with use. An old compressor hasn't got the same cooling capacity of a brand new one... if you feel the air is colder while driving and you're sure that the condenser is clean, the condenser fan is properly working, the cabin air filter is clean, heater door/valve is ok, expansion valve is ok, and you have the correct charge weight inside... then you might need a new compressor... also, the original ND-8 oil sticks to the metal due to its polarity and isn't hygroscopic (just like any other double end capped PAG), so water isn't a concern.

[@speedkar99]

Usually the defroster turns on the AC to remove cabin moisture causing frost in the winter.
