Receiver Drier / Accumulator

Protects the system by trapping water and retaining impurities and particles.

If the Receiver Drier / Accumulator is not replaced, it is highly likely that an underlying A/C issue will damage your new replacement compressor and lead to another failure.

Expansion Valve / Orifice Tube

Controls the amount of refrigerant flow into the evaporator.

Acts as a filter for the evaporator, preventing clogs from any sediment in the system. Will collect shrapnel from previous failed compressor.

O-rings and PAG Oil

Special lubricant that goes inside of a compressor.

There are metal ball bearings moving inside of the compressor, gliding along a metal cylinder. PAG oil prevents metal from grinding on metal which would otherwise lead to compressor failure.

When replacing new parts in the A/C system, you need to replace the seals. These O-rings and gaskets connect all the parts together. Old seals become brittle and may have cracks.

Performance Testing

UAC is recognized by professional mechanics as a premium A/C replacement brand because of our superior quality and industry low warranty rates. Each compressor is performance tested before it leaves our factory. UAC also has an in-house Testing Lab at our distribution facility in Texas where products are tested here in the United States. Our customers can rest assured they are buying a quality product.

Life Cycle Testing

UAC compressors are subjected to various testing conditions simulating extremely harsh environments. Life Cycle testing allows us to accelerate the use of the compressor to make sure it will last.

Protective Packaging

Compressors are the heart of your A/C system and need to be packaged properly. In receiving the UAC box, you will notice the attention and concern that has gone into the protection of your order.
