Valeo AC Compressor 699236 Citroën Xsara N1 2.0 16V

An air conditioning compressor is an essential component of an air conditioning system. It is responsible for compressing the refrigerant gas that flows through the system. When the compressor compresses the gas, it increases the temperature and pressure of the gas. This hot and high-pressure gas is then released from the compressor into the condenser unit where it is cooled and turned back into a liquid form. The liquid then flows through the system to absorb heat from the air and keep your home or office cool.

The compressor is the heart of the air conditioning system. Without it, the refrigerant could not be compressed and circulated throughout the system, and your air conditioner would be unable to cool the air in your home. When the compressor is running, it puts a lot of strain on the system, so it's essential to maintain it properly to ensure it lasts for many years. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the coils and air filters, ensuring proper refrigerant levels, and checking the electrical connections. By ensuring your compressor is well maintained, you will extend the life of your air conditioning system and ensure it is energy efficient and working correctly when you need it most.
