Chery FX Cooler Compressor – Part No.: 301000131AA
Let’s keep it simple—this isn’t just a “metal box” in your Chery FX’s engine bay. It’s the core power source for the vehicle’s air conditioning (AC) cooling system: a durable, high-pressure-resistant unit made of thick aluminum alloy or cast iron (to handle intense internal pressure), with an internal motor, piston/rotor assembly, and sealed refrigerant ports. Mounted in the FX’s engine compartment—usually linked to the engine via a drive belt—it’s responsible for pushing refrigerant (the “cooling fluid”) through the AC system. Think of it as the “AC system’s ‘heart’”: without it, refrigerant can’t circulate, and your car’s AC will only blow warm air, even on hot days.
This cooler compressor is exclusive to Chery FX—always check your vehicle’s VIN to confirm fitment! It’s tailored to the FX’s specs: its refrigerant capacity matches the FX’s AC system size (no under/overcooling), its belt pulley aligns perfectly with the engine’s drive system (no squealing or slipping), and its pressure rating handles the FX’s AC operating conditions (avoids leaks or breakdowns). Grab a generic compressor or one for other models? You’ll run into trouble: wrong refrigerant type (damages the system), misaligned pulley (wears out the belt), or weak pressure resistance (causes refrigerant leaks).
1. Core Jobs: Drive Refrigerant Circulation & Cool the Cabin
As the “engine” of the Chery FX’s AC system, it does two non-negotiable jobs to keep the cabin cool:
Compress and circulate refrigerant: The compressor sucks in low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant vapor from the AC evaporator (inside the cabin). It then squeezes (compresses) this vapor into high-pressure, high-temperature gas, pushing it to the AC condenser (in the front of the car). This cycle repeats nonstop when the AC is on—without compression, refrigerant can’t release heat outside or absorb heat inside the cabin.
Maintain stable cooling performance: It adjusts its speed (via the engine’s belt or an internal clutch) to match the FX’s cooling needs. On scorching days, it works harder to push more refrigerant, keeping the cabin cool; when the desired temperature is reached, it eases off (or pauses) to save fuel—balancing comfort and efficiency.
This 301000131AA cooler compressor only fits Chery FX—wrong fit means a useless AC system:
Fits These: All Chery FX variants (matches the AC system’s refrigerant type, pressure rating, and engine drive setup—confirm with VIN).
Won’t Fit These:
Non-Chery vehicles: Even if visually similar, their AC pressure specs and mounting points differ (no functional fit; may damage the FX’s engine or AC hoses).
FX with modified AC systems: Aftermarket AC kits (e.g., larger condensers) change refrigerant flow—original compressor can’t handle the load (overheats or fails).
Installation & Upkeep (Pros Only—AC Safety Is Critical!)
Installation: Must Be Done by Certified Technicians
Replacing this compressor involves handling refrigerant (a regulated substance)—DIY risks leaks or system damage:
Prep: Techs recover the old refrigerant from the FX’s AC system (to avoid environmental harm), disconnect the AC hoses from the old compressor, and remove the drive belt.
Remove old compressor: They unbolt the old unit from the engine bay, drain any remaining oil, and clean the AC system (flush out debris to prevent new compressor damage).
Install new compressor: They add fresh AC compressor oil to 301000131AA, bolt it to the FX’s engine bay (align pulley with the engine belt), reconnect the AC hoses (tighten to Chery’s torque specs), and replace the AC filter/dryer (to remove moisture).
Test: They evacuate the AC system (pull a vacuum to remove air/moisture), refill it with Chery-approved refrigerant, start the engine, and check for cooling (cabin temp drops quickly) and leaks (no refrigerant loss).
Maintenance: Easy Checks to Keep It Running
Check refrigerant levels annually: Low refrigerant means leaks (and strains the compressor)—have techs test and top up if needed (use only Chery-recommended refrigerant).
Inspect the drive belt: If the belt is cracked, loose, or squealing, replace it—slipping belts don’t power the compressor (AC won’t cool) and wear down the pulley.
Avoid AC overuse in stop-and-go traffic: On hot days, turn off AC briefly when idling—this reduces compressor load (avoids overheating).
Listen for odd noises: If the AC makes loud rattles or squeals when on, the compressor may be failing—get it checked immediately (prevents costly system damage).
