FAQ'S

What types of compressors do you offer for heavy-duty trucks and equipment?
We carry a variety of compressor types — including scroll, piston, swash plate, and variable-displacement compressors — compatible with many makes and models of trucks, buses, and heavy machinery.

How do I choose the correct compressor for my application?
Match the compressor to your engine HP, displacement, drive type (belt or gear), and refrigerant system (e.g., R-134a, R-245fa). Use OEM part numbers or match mounting geometry, shaft size, and pulley configuration for proper fit.

Are your compressors new or remanufactured?
Our catalog includes both all-new aftermarket compressors and remanufactured units, depending on availability. Each compressor is fully tested for performance, leak tightness, and cooling output before shipping.

What warranty coverage do you provide for AC compressors?
We offer warranty protection that covers manufacturing defects and performance failures for a defined term (e.g., 1 year). It’s important to follow proper installation and use OEM-rated oil, refrigerant, and system cycling to maintain coverage.

What can cause compressor failure, and how can I prevent it?
Common causes include incorrect oil levels, debris or moisture in system, improper refrigerant charge, misalignment, belt tension issues, or electrical faults. Prevent failure by conducting full system flushes, replacing filters and driers, correct charge, and proper belt tension during installation.
