Air conditioning compressor

Much like a heart in a human body, the air conditioning compressor circulates the system’s lifeblood, in this case the refrigerant, that is vital to the proper operation of the air conditioning (A/C) system; in short it moves the gas from the evaporator, compresses it, and delivers it at high pressure and high temperature to the condenser, where it is converted into a cooling gas that cools the air in the vehicle’s cabin. Because of this you’ll want to fit to a proven quality compressor, engineered to deliver faster time to comfort and better fuel economy and emissions. Rich OE heritage With more than 50 years’ expertise, Delphi has a rich heritage in A/C compressors. We introduced the first integrated compressor under the bonnet in the 1950s and were the first to integrate electronics, sensors and special algorithms into climate control systems too, making them smarter, faster and better than ever before. Today, our OE A/C compressor technology can still be found on millions of vehicles worldwide. Intelligent design The improved harmonic motion mechanism in our swash plate design reduces both weight and friction; less friction improves longevity and fuel economy and produces less noise. Combined with our hollow piston technology, integrated control valve and special reed valve and valve plate design, this makes for a fast-cooling, quiet, durable and highly-efficient air conditioning compressor. Rigorous testing Quality has always been a big part of our history. And is part and parcel of everything we do today. That’s why every Delphi A/C compressor undergoes rigorous testing including performance, durability, leakage, vibration, noise and fitment tests.
