AC compressor is a crucial component of an air conditioning (AC) system, responsible for compressing and circulating refrigerant through the system. It plays a key role in the cooling process by maintaining the refrigerant's pressure, which allows the system to absorb and release heat effectively.

Compressor Types

Types of Compressors:

• Reciprocating Compressor: Uses a piston to compress the refrigerant. Common in residential AC units.
• Rotary Compressor: Uses a rotating mechanism to compress the refrigerant, often found in compact and quieter AC units.
• Scroll Compressor: Uses two interleaved spiral-shaped components to compress the refrigerant, known for being energy-efficient and quiet.
• Centrifugal Compressor: Uses a high-speed rotating impeller to increase the velocity of the refrigerant, typically found in large commercial or industrial systems.
