Chevrolet Cruze 2012 AC Compressor: A Comprehensive Guide

This detailed guide explores the Chevrolet Cruze 2012 AC compressor, part number 96484932. This genuine V5/OEM component, manufactured in Korea, offers guaranteed quality and is 100% new.

The AC compressor, sometimes referred to as the AC block or simply the compressor, is a critical part of your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Its primary function is to pressurize the refrigerant, initiating the cooling cycle. This is a significant component, representing a substantial portion of the overall AC system’s cost.

The process begins with the compressor drawing in low-pressure refrigerant gas. This gas undergoes compression, transforming it from a gaseous to a liquid state. This high-pressure liquid then flows to the condenser. After heat dissipation in the condenser, the refrigerant transitions back to a gaseous state via the expansion valve, before finally reaching the evaporator. Within the evaporator, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the cabin air, delivering cool, comfortable air to the passengers. This entire cycle is activated when the AC system is switched on, engaging the electromagnetic clutch that links the compressor to its power source.

The compressor’s operation hinges on its core components: the electromagnetic clutch, cam rotor, rotating disc, connecting rod, and piston. These components work in concert, driven by a belt connected to the engine. Upon activation of the AC switch, the electromagnetic clutch engages, initiating the compression cycle. Low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, undergoing compression before exiting as high-pressure refrigerant, destined for the condenser to complete the cooling process. Essentially, the compressor acts as a pump, facilitating the refrigerant’s state change, a vital step in the cooling process.

While various compressor types exist, piston and vane compressors are prevalent. This specific model is compatible with various vehicles.
