Compressor
Definition:
The refrigeration system component that pumps refrigerant and increases the pressure and temperature of refrigerant vapor. The compressor is belt driven via a magnetic clutch, and may be a piston or scroll type design. A compressor failure can throw metallic debris into the A/C system that can damage a replacement compressor unless the condenser is cleaned by flushing or replaced.
