Replacing the York AC compressor with a Sanden compressor
Author: BigRabbitMan (Show all albums)

This album is a pictorial review of the process of replacing the original 2 piston York auto AC compressor with a modern 7 piston Sanden in coach #1046. Due to using a cell phone to take the pictures photo quality is poor, but is much better than a verbal description.

For those that were not able to properly curl their tongue, I have placed red circles around the bolt holes in the ends of the two braces that previously were attached to the base of the York compressor. The two studs on the new bracket will slide into these holes.


The York is gone forever! Now you can see the mounting plate where the side of the York was attached and, if you look very closely and curl your tongue, you will see the two braces. Attachment was with four bolts into the side and two into the base. Secure is good!


This is the York AC compressor that will be removed and replaced by a Sanden unit. Note that it sits at approximately a 45 degree angle with it's side bolted to the mounting plate and two braces attached to the upper side of the base. The braces are not visible in this picture as the view is blocked by the compressor.


This is an unpainted version of the bracket that will be used to do the installation. This bracket was custom designed specifically for the FMC motorcoach and how the York was installed using both a base plate and two supplemental braces. The two studs you see will slide directly into the braces that originally were attached to the base of the York.


Here is the modern 7 piston Sanden compressor that will be installed. From this position, the front of the coach will be to the left and the rear to the right.


Coach #1046 owned by Stephen Heinrichs is on the right. The coach on the left is Eric Whedon's coach #0587 and we are in his driveway as he is the AC specialist with all of the necessary tools and knowledge. Open engine compartment doors seems to be a common event!
