What does a car AC compressor do?
How does the compressor actually work?
The compressor is powered by a belt connected to the engine, and it operates by compressing low-pressure refrigerant gas into high-pressure gas, which then gets sent to the condenser to release heat and become a high-pressure liquid. From there, it goes to the evaporator where it absorbs heat and becomes a low-pressure gas again, and the cycle continues.
