What is the purpose of the air conditioning compressor in a car?

The air conditioning compressor is a mechanical pump that compresses the refrigerant and allows it to circulate through the system, cooling the vehicle's interior.

What is an air conditioning compressor clutch?

The air conditioning clutch is the component that engages or disengages the engine-driven compressor. This ensures the compressor operates only when needed, reducing fuel consumption.

What types of car compressors are there?

The most commonly used compressors are piston, spiral (scroll), and axial. Each has different operating parameters and is tailored to the vehicle model.

How do you know if your air conditioning compressor is faulty?

Symptoms include lack of cooling, unusual noises (grinding, squeaking), and oil or refrigerant leaks.

Are air conditioning compressors the same in all cars?

No – they differ in design, performance, and mounting method. You'll find a different compressor in an Audi A6 than in an Opel Corsa.

Is it possible to replace the air conditioning clutch separately?

Yes, on many models you can replace just the compressor clutch without having to replace the entire assembly.

How do I choose the right compressor or clutch for my car?

It is best to use the VIN or OEM number – then you can be sure that the part will fit and ensure full compatibility.

Efficient AC compressors and clutches – perfectly matched to your vehicle

Proven air conditioning compressors and clutches – a guarantee of quality and compatibility

Air conditioning compressors and clutches are essential components of the air conditioning system, responsible for compressing the refrigerant and efficiently distributing it throughout the system. Their efficient operation ensures the air conditioning maintains a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle, regardless of outside conditions. At Global Parts, you'll find a wide selection of used car parts. , including air conditioning compressors and clutches, ideal for BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others .

Definition and types of automotive compressors

Automotive air conditioning compressors come in several designs. The most common are piston, scroll, and axial compressors. A piston compressor uses a system of pistons moving within cylinders – it is popular in older car models, such as the Volkswagen Passat B5. Scroll compressors, found in newer cars, such as the BMW 5 Series (G30), are characterized by quieter operation and higher efficiency. Axial compressors, on the other hand, are used in more compact systems, often in smaller city cars, such as the Opel Corsa.

What are the functions of air conditioning compressors and clutches ?

Air conditioning compressors and clutches play a key role in the proper operation of the air conditioning system: Refrigerant Compression – The air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant, raising its temperature and pressure, which enables efficient heat exchange within the system. Power Transmission – The compressor clutch connects and disconnects the compressor shaft from the engine drive shaft, controlling air conditioning operation. Efficient temperature control – Thanks to the cooperation of the compressor and clutch, the air conditioning system ensures quick and efficient cooling of the vehicle interior.

Why is it worth taking care of air conditioning compressors and clutches ?

Damage or wear to air conditioning compressors and clutches can lead to problems with air conditioning operation. Typical symptoms include: No cooling – A damaged compressor or clutch prevents the air conditioning system from working properly. Air Conditioning Noises – Grinding or squeaking noises may indicate worn compressor bearings or clutch problems. Refrigerant Leaks – A leaking compressor can cause a loss of refrigerant, reducing the efficiency of the system. At Global Parts, we offer original used air conditioning compressors and clutches that have undergone extensive quality testing, ensuring their durability and reliability.

How to choose the right air conditioning compressors and clutches ?

When selecting air conditioning compressors and clutches, there are several key aspects to consider: Vehicle-specific fit – Every air conditioning system has its own specific technical requirements. At Global Parts, you'll find air conditioning compressors and clutches perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini , and more . Technical condition – Used compressors and clutches should be free from leaks, mechanical damage and play in mechanisms. Compressor Type – Depending on your vehicle model, you may need a piston, scroll or axial compressor.

Comparison of air conditioning compressor types

Compressor type	Characteristic	Application	Advantages
Piston	Movement of pistons in cylinders, classic design	Older models, e.g. VW Passat B5	Simple construction, easy regeneration
Spiral (scroll)	Two spiral elements compressing the medium	More modern models, e.g. BMW G30, Audi A6 C7	Quiet operation, high efficiency
Axial	Axially moving pistons, compact design	Small city cars, e.g. Opel Corsa	Small size, space saving

When selecting an air conditioning compressor and clutch , matching them to the specific vehicle model is crucial. Differences include the pulley diameter, the number of V-belt grooves, and the type of refrigerant used (e.g., R134a vs. R1234yf). Therefore, the best way to select parts is to use the vehicle's VIN or the manufacturer's catalog number (OEM). This ensures the compressor is 100% compatible and ready for installation without any additional modifications.

Why choose used air conditioning compressors and clutches ?

Used car parts , such as air conditioning compressors and clutches, are a practical solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used air conditioning compressors and clutches, you gain: Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality. Ecology – Recycling car parts supports environmental protection and reduces waste. A wide range – In our store you will find air conditioning compressors and clutches for the most popular car brands.

How to take care of air conditioning compressors and clutches ?

To ensure that air conditioning compressors and clutches function reliably for a long time, it is worth following a few rules: Check the refrigerant level regularly – a lack of it can put a strain on the compressor and cause damage. Keep your air conditioning system clean to prevent contaminants from entering the compressor. Check the operation of the compressor clutch, looking for any noise or rough operation. If you need a replacement, you'll find the right used car parts at Global Parts that will restore the full functionality of your air conditioning system.
