1998 Subaru Legacy Brighton Wagon AWD F4-2.2L SOHCSECTION General



The vane rotary type compressor has five vanes fitted in the rotor mounted on the shaft. The centrifugal force produced by rotation of the rotor in the elliptical cylinder causes the vanes to move out and change the volumes in the areas surrounded by the rotor and cylinder. Suction, compression and discharge take place 10 times per rotation. A roll type valve is used on the discharge side only. Shaft seals are provided for the shaft and front head to maintain air tightness in the compressor. A trigger valve is provided in the front head to apply a back pressure to the vanes. The compressor is charged with the specified quantity of compressor oil which is forced to all the parts for lubrication by the discharge pressure of the refrigerant.
