1986 Chevrolet Caprice Air Conditioning Parts

GM Genuine Parts A/C Orifice Tubes are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors. These tubes, which separate the high and low pressure sides of the air conditioning system, control the flow of low pressure liquid refrigerant into the evaporator. The orifice tube is essentially a calibrated restriction located at the inlet to the evaporator. This causes the necessary pressure drop to allow the liquid refrigerant to evaporate within the evaporator and absorb heat. Since the orifice tube is fixed, the system is regulated by either cycling the compressor clutch or by a variable displacement compressor. GM Genuine Parts are the true OE parts installed during the production of or validated by General Motors for GM vehicles. Some GM Genuine Parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco GM Original Equipment (OE).

Product Features:

• Restores A/C performance due to restricted orifice tubes
• Some GM Genuine Parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco GM Original Equipment (OE)
• GM Engineers design and validate OE parts specifically for your Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac vehicle
• Original equipment parts are designed to work with your GM vehicle safety systems — aftermarket replacement parts may not meet the same OE safety regulations, depending on the part type
• GM regularly updates production and service part designs to integrate new materials and technologies

Carquest Orifice Tubes are designed to regulate the flow of refrigerant through the air conditioning system to provide optimal cooling to the passenger compartment. Each orifice tube is manufactured to original equipment specifications to perform its function even in the harshest climates. Each part is supplied with the necessary gaskets and o-rings for installation.

Product Features:

• Each orifice tube is tested for function and leakage according to OEM specifications to ensure optimal performance of the air conditioning system.
• O-Rings necessary for installation are included.
• Color coded

Carquest New Compressors are designed, manufactured and tested to meet or exceed strict original equipment specifications for superior quality and performance. Each new compressor is tested to provide durable life to the vehicle’s air conditioning system. All new compressor components are assembled using state of the art equipment and techniques to ensure smooth operation. Each part is equipped with a clutch and connector that matches the original equipment part and provides an exact replacement to your vehicle’s part. All compressors are supplied with the necessary gaskets and o-rings for installation.

Product Features:

• Each new compressor design undergoes rigorous life cycle testing at high RPMs and pressures to ensure that they can withstand years in the harshest conditions.
• New compressors are designed with utmost precision using 3D coordinate measuring machines to ensure a perfect fit.
• The production process contains automated controls at every stage that alerts and halts production in case of an error, assuring that the finished product will always be flawless.
• All new compressors must pass a helium leak test and pump up function test prior to packaging.
• O-Rings and gaskets necessary for installation are included.

GM Genuine Parts A/C Compressors are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors. These compressors pump refrigerant through the system. The compressor is typically engine driven via the accessory belt, and a clutch on the compressor is used to engage and disengage the compressor. Hybrid vehicles are typically equipped with an electric motor driven compressor. The compressor is lubricated by refrigerant oil. GM Genuine Parts are the true OE parts installed during the production of or validated by General Motors for GM vehicles. Some GM Genuine Parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco GM Original Equipment (OE).

Product Features:

• Visual and leak-tested to help ensure the component’s quality and durability
• The oil separator is part of the compressor and removes oil from the refrigerant to help keep system efficiency
• GM meets an aggressive engineering requirement for compressor clutch durability and corrosion resistance. Together, these help ensure long-term quality and durability
