Red Dot A/C Clutch and Compressor

About Red Dot

Founded during the late 1950s, Red Dot Corporation has established itself as a global company that heavy-duty commercial vehicle owners can trust when it comes to premium mobile HVAC units. It has surely come a long way since Harcourt G. “Harky” Runnings started it as a sideline heater-making business at his automotive radiator repair shop in West Seattle. Today, it has facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia that allow it to ship its products to hundreds of aftermarket distributors and OE customers worldwide.

Incorporated in 1965, Red Dot Corporation is now one of the industry leaders in the design and manufacture of not just mobile HVAC systems but also replacement parts. The company knows that these HVAC systems will require replacement components to restore their like-new condition over time. So, it invests heavily in engineering tools and trained personnel to deliver only the best quality products, unrivaled performance, and excellent service to its customers worldwide.

Red Dot is currently headquartered in Seattle, Washington. And all Red Dot parts are manufactured in its ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-certified facilities in Memphis, Tennessee and Ipswich, England.

Replacement Parts

Red Dot's replacement parts are engineered to help existing Red Dot unit owners with their maintenance and repair tasks. From fittings, valves, motors, and actuators to air filter, evaporator, heater core, switch, and cables, Red Dot has got you covered. All these are made following Red Dot's strict quality control standards and are designed to fit and function like the original components for easy installation and seamless performance.

The availability of the Red Dot replacement parts is supported through a global dealer network and regional warehousing. So wherever you are in the United States, you have easy access to these parts. Here are some of the replacement parts that you can easily purchase from one of Red Dot’s partner suppliers:

Compressors

The compressor is the one responsible for taking in the low-pressure, vaporized refrigerant. You can think of it as the heart of the air conditioning unit and the refrigerant as the blood. It moves the refrigerant between the evaporator and condenser coils, allowing the refrigerant to change to liquid or gas as needed.

If you’ve got a malfunctioning compressor, the overall performance of your air conditioning system is greatly affected. Red Dot has got a wide range of compressors for your repair and replacement needs. These compressors are built to exacting standards to ensure they fit and function properly.

Condensers

The condenser is what receives the high-pressure gas from the compressor. Its main function is to convert the said gas to liquid. It does this by heat transfer, wherein the heat moves from a warmer to a cooler substance. When this becomes defective, Red Dot has got the replacement you need.

Expansion Valves

Once the refrigerant is turned into a liquid form, it will then pass through a variable(or sometimes fixed) orifice known as the Red Dot expansion valve. This component is smaller than the hoses and lines the refrigerant passes through. Because of its reduced size, the pressure of the liquid refrigerant passing through is also reduced, which then lowers the boiling point forcing it to evaporate.

Evaporator Coils

The Red Dot evaporator coil is a critical component of the air conditioning system’s evaporator. While the evaporator’s job is to harness the cold refrigerant in its liquid state, what the evaporator coil does is collect the heat from the air that passes through it and make it cool.

Heater Cores

The heater core is a part of the truck’s heater. It is where engine coolant is circulated. Once it becomes clogged with rust or sludge, you will no longer have heat. And when it leaks, all the more you need to replace it with a new one. Red Dot has got available heater cores. They are made using premium-quality materials to ensure they won’t leak and get clogged easily.

Receiver Driers

The Red Dot receiver drier works with all of the other A/C components to produce cold air for your truck. It functions as a temporary storage container for the refrigerant and a filter that removes contaminants, moisture, and other debris from the system.

Filters

Removing contaminants from the air that is ventilated through the truck's air conditioning system is the function of the Red Dot filters. However, just like the receiver driers, these too can get clogged over time. When this happens, you must replace them right away—filter replacement is a fairly easy task to perform, so this won’t take too much of your time.
