A/C Compressor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vehicles equipped with the 2.0 L and 2.4L Turbo engine use the Sanden TRS - 090 A/C compressor. Vehicles equipped with the 2.4L NA and 2.7L engines use the Visteon HS-15 A/C compressor.

Both A/C compressors are fixed displacement type compressors and use a high pressure relief valve to protect the A/C system from excessive refrigerant pressures. The Sanden TRS - 090 A/C compressor uses an integral thermal limiter switch to protect it from overheating and the HS-15 A/C compressor has a replaceable compressor manifold which contains the fittings for the refrigerant lines and the high pressure relief valve.

CAUTION: The refrigerant oil in the R-134a A/C system is unique depending on the A/C compressor used. Use only PAG oils that are designed to work with R-134a refrigerant and the A/C compressor in the vehicle. Always refer to the underhood A/C System Specification Label for the correct oil designation.

Both A/C systems uses Polyalkylene glycol synthetic wax-free refrigerant oil PAG (refer to the underhood A/C system label for the correct oil type for the A/C compressor used in the system (depending on engine application).
