Compressor Type-ACs (Window)

Compressor Type states the type of compressor that your air conditioner has. They are of two types: reciprocating or rotary. Rotary compressors are silent and generate less vibrations as compared to reciprocating compressors. Reciprocating compressors are generally less expensive and not as power efficient and silent as the ones fitted with a rotary compressor. Rotary compressors are not repairable, when the failure occurs out of warranty period. Reciprocating compressors are repairable; mostly by respective compressor manufacturers in India.
