[W126 Coupe] AC Compressor, heating

[PONDERSOA at aol.com]

the compressor  is a pump that compresses a low temp/ low pressure gas in to 
a high temp /high pressure gas, this gas passes in thru a heat exchanger (a 
condenser looks like a radiator and is in front of the radiator in modern cars) 
and cools into a high pressure liquid 
 it then goes thru a small opening  some times called an orifice tube  where 
the liquid  expands back to a gas  and gets cold .this cold now gas  basicly 
squrits into the evaporator where a second heat transfer takes place removing 
heat from the cabin air  this air is delivered in side the car 
 its really simple  some systems use a few types of controls to achieve the 
system form freezing up but they all operate on the same principals and this is 
how an all systems that get cold work i.e. refrigerators home ac water 
coolers ect ....) OK now  what i just told you took me 2 years to master ...lol
