8832050030 Car Air Conditioner Compressor For Lexus LS400 WXLX003
The AC compressor is responsible for reducing the volume of the
refrigerant gas, compressing it in order to complete the
refrigerant cycle in the system. It can be thought of as the
component that does all the heavy lifting. In order to perform this
task, it requires energy, which it obtains from the engine through
a pulley and shaft.

AC compressor replacement process.
1. Drain the refrigerant: Before starting the disassembly, the
technician needs to use special equipment to drain the refrigerant
from the entire air conditioning system to ensure work safety. This
is very important because refrigerants are toxic and harmful to the
environment when released into the atmosphere.
2. Remove the drive belt: The technician will remove the drive belt
from the AC compressor clutch pulley and separate the clutch from
the wires. This makes it easier to remove and replace the
compressor.
3. Disconnect the refrigeration lines: The technician will need to
disconnect the low-pressure and high-pressure refrigeration lines
that are connected to the compressor body. These lines are usually
connected by quick connectors that technicians can remove using
special tools.
4. Replace the compressor: The technician will unbolt the damaged
compressor and remove it. They will then install a new AC
compressor and re-tighten it.
5. Reconnect lines and drive belts: Once the new compressor is
installed, technicians will reconnect the low-pressure and
high-pressure refrigeration lines. They will then reattach the
drive belt and wires, making sure everything is connected
correctly.
6. Refrigerant charge: After replacing the compressor, the
refrigerant in the air conditioning system has been drained, so the
technician needs to recharge the refrigerant according to the
manufacturer's specifications. This often requires the use of
special tools and equipment to ensure proper filling.
7. Verify system operation: Once the refrigerant charge is
complete, the technician will test and confirm that the AC system
is operating properly. They will check various functions of the air
conditioner, such as the amount of air being blown out and the
temperature, to make sure everything is working properly.
This is the rough AC compressor replacement process. Remember,
before any air conditioning system repair or replacement work is
performed, it is best to have it performed by a professional air
conditioning technician to ensure the work is done safely and
correctly.
Identify The Problem
There are many AC compressor problems and solutions, but by
properly identifying the source of the problem, we can narrow down
the possible causes. The AC compressor is powered by a drive belt,
which means it has a pulley to transfer power to the unit. Since
the AC does not need to be running all the time, the compressor has
a clutch that allows the pulley to spin freely without powering the
unit. When you turn on the air conditioner, the electromagnetic
compressor clutch receives a start signal. The component mounted on
the compressor generates a magnetic field current that attracts the
external clutch disc toward it. The disc then merges with the
compressor shaft and the pulley begins transmitting power to the
compressor. You can tell by looking at the compressor pulley and
clutch plate - if both are turning, that means the clutch is
working properly and the compressor is receiving power. However, if
the pulley rotates and the clutch plate remains stationary, the
clutch is not working properly.
