AIR CONDITIONING

Motorcraft^® air-conditioning compressors are available as new or remanufactured as well as loaded or unloaded units.

• New compressors are the same components that were installed in the vehicle when it rolled off the assembly line
• Loaded compressors include:
  • Clutch pulley and coil for easy ordering (most assemblies are pre-charged with PAG refrigerant oil)
  • Pre-shimmed clutch/pulley assemblies to provide direct bolt-in installation
• There are two types of new loaded compressors for Ford vehicles, depending on vehicle application:
  • Scroll-type for heavy-duty applications
    • Scroll design provides high volumetric efficiency and low power consumption
    • Unique 100% ball bearing design for smooth operation and low noise
    • Variable capacity helps reduce clutch cycling which contributes to longer clutch life
    • Variable capacity compressors also reduce variations in discharge air temperature
    • Forged aluminum scrolls contribute to the strength and durability of the scroll mechanism
  • Fixed swashplate (or FS-type) for applications requiring reduced NVH
    • Oil management technology within the compressor provides improved efficiency and helps contribute to improved fuel economy
    • Forged aluminum pistons and swashplates for durability
    • Heat-resistant Teflon^® piston rings
    • Integral pulse-reduction design helps reduce NVH
    • Ball bearings are used instead of bushings to help with durability and reduced noise
  • Both types feature:
    • Hardened internal parts for durability
    • Internal parts micro-finished for efficiency
    • Dual center seams seals for excellent lead protection
    • Housing mounting bosses meet new vehicle OE specifications
    • Pulleys e-coated for corrosion resistance and a long-lasting finish
