The A/C Compressor for the GMC Terrain is a component of the air conditioning system. The role of the compressor is to pressurize the refrigerant for the creation of cool air. As a result, cool air will travel into the cabin of the vehicle on hot summer afternoons. By sucking low pressure vapor from the inlet side, the A/C Compressor compresses it into a high pressure high temperature gas. Then the compressor pushes that gas to the condenser where heat leaves the system. When the refrigerant vapor cools, it again moves to the evaporator, expands back to vapor, and the blower sends cold air through the vents. The A/C Compressor receives cooled vapor after every loop in order to repeat the cycle, allowing drivers to control temperature very precisely. In the early production years, the entire GMC Terrain line utilized R12 refrigerant. These models transitioned to cleaner R134a starting in the early nineties. The swap necessitated revised seals, a different lubricating oil, and in some cases, a differently valved A/C Compressor which handled the new refrigerant. Choosing the correct A/C Compressor is therefore a matter of matching vehicle year and refrigerant type because mineral oil which resided happily in R12 circuits cannot circulate in R134a designs. An installed unit in every GMC Terrain allows steady airflow and prevents sweaty discomfort caused by a failing pump.
