An A/C compressor is a mechanical pump driven by a belt that separates the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the air conditioning system. This belt, also known as the A/C compressor pulley, is engaged and disengaged to the compressor by an electromagnetic clutch. Pumping the refrigerant in a closed loop system, the A/C compressor plays a very important function of controlling the flow of refrigerant throughout your vehicle's system.
The A/C compressor draws refrigerant from the evaporator in the low-pressure side, then compresses and pumps at high pressure to the condenser. If your A/C compressor is having problems, you may notice symptoms such as the sound of the belt slipping or even a burning smell coming from the clutch under the dashboard.
