The seal on Ford Air Conditioner compressors keeps dirt and water out of the compressor housings. The housing also has grease packed around the compressor shaft that needs to be kept tightly packed or damage could occur. Over time this seal may become worn out. Rather than replacing the entire compressor, it is possible to replace the compressor seal on the Ford compressor instead. more »

A compressor increases the pressure of a gas. This means that reduces the volume of the gas and increases its density without turning that gas into a liquid. Compressors can do this in a number of ways. However, the commonality between all compressors is the fact that they all use some sort of fuel, such as gasoline or electricity, to power whatever compression method they use. Also, because the compressor increases the pressure on the gas, it increases the temperature of the gas. Many other types of compressors are used for various chemicals and fuels that require compression. more »
