In this video we take a look at what's inside of an air conditioner reciprocating compressor. It was great to have Jay from Word of Advice TV as well as Reuben Sahlstrom who opened two other compressors. Jay takes a look at what's inside a scroll compressor while Reuben Sahlstrom opens a two stage reciprocating unit! We had a great time and hopefully will do more collaboration videos in the future. Let us know what you think!
