The compressor squeezes refrigerant into a hot, high-pressure gas, which flows to the condenser and sheds heat into the outside air, turning into a liquid. That liquid passes through an expansion valve or orifice tube, drops in pressure, and gets cold. It runs through the evaporator behind your dash, and the blower pushes cabin air across it, so the air leaves the vents cold and the refrigerant heads back to the compressor to start over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeating side\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat comes from the engine, not a separate heater unit. Hot coolant flows through the heater core, and the blower pushes air across it.

It's also smart to check the condenser and receiver-drier (or accumulator) for contamination if the old compressor failed internally, since metal debris from a dying compressor can circulate through the rest of the system and cause a repeat failure if it's not flushed out.
