Visteon A/C Compressor






VISTEON A/C COMPRESSOR





The A/C system on models equipped with the 3.7L engine use a Visteon HS-18 A/C compressor (1). This A/C compressor is a 10 cylinder reciprocating swash plate-type compressor that uses an electrically operated clutch to engage and disengage the A/C compressor from the engine accessory drive belt.

The HS-18 A/C compressor has a fixed displacement of 180 cubic centimeters (10.9 cubic inches) and has the suction and discharge ports (2) located on the compressor cylinder head (3) at the rear of the compressor and a label which identifies the use of R-134a refrigerant.
