Toyota Solara A/C Compressor

The Toyota Solara A/C Compressor pumps low-temperature refrigerant gas until it heats up, which then travels to the condenser. This starts the loop so that when you switch your air conditioning on, air cools off before entering the evaporator, which delivers the chilling comfort you expect from an A/C system. By compressing refrigerant and converting it from a gas to a liquid and vice versa, the A/C Compressor maintains cabin temperature on a sweltering summer afternoon. The early Solara coupes and convertibles utilized an A/C Compressor designed for R12 refrigerant, containing mineral oil and complying with the standards of its era. When environmental regulations changed in the mid-1990s, Toyota changed the model to a R134a ready A/C Compressor, which has different seals and synthetic oil that cannot mix with the older formula. While the mounting points remained similar, selecting the correct version is important since each compressor is designed for a specific pressure range and lubricant. When the Toyota system works fine, it cycles repeatedly to keep every Solara interior comfortably cool without the discomfort of a failed A/C Compressor.
