Aluminum Capacitor

Capacitors in air conditioners are critical components that store and release electrical energy to power the system’s motors efficiently. They play a vital role in starting and maintaining the operation of the compressor, fan motor, and blower motor. There are primarily two types of capacitors used in AC systems: start capacitors, which provide the initial jolt of energy needed to start the compressor or fan, and run capacitors, which help maintain a constant flow of electricity during operation. Capacitors ensure smooth and efficient performance, reduce wear on motor components, and enhance energy efficiency. A malfunctioning capacitor can lead to issues like difficulty starting the AC, reduced cooling efficiency, or even system failure. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of capacitors are essential for the reliable operation of an air conditioning system.
