yes
An expander works in a similar way to a compressor, with a compressor you set the threshold and when the signal goes over this threshold the compressor starts to work. The signal over the threshold is attenuated (reduced) at the rate of the other parameter settings (ie. attack, ratio, release,etc.). An expander works in an opposite fashion, the threshold is set and any part of the signal dropping below this threshold will be affected by the expander and this level will be raised. The expander therefore like the compressor balances out the signal making it sound more professional.
yes but if the compressor does not work there is no reason for it.
Open circuit breakers. Poor electrical connections to the compressor, thermostat or bad wires not telling relay to cut the compressor on. Elaborate
They work on two different principles as their name implies...Rotary compressors are more common in consumer appliances and are highly efficient.Scroll compressors are quiet, smooth-operating units with the highest efficiency ratio of all compressor types. They are commonly used in automobile air conditioning systems and commercial chillers.For more technical details see:http://www.fscc-online.com/%22Passing%20Gas%22-article/passing_gas.html
because the compressor must be running to circulate the refrigerant in the system
I am unsure what you mean by bypass. The Air Conditioning system will not work with out the compressor. The compressor can be disabled by unplugging the electric clutch. Most of these little Fords could have a different length belt fitted so the compressor pulley didn't turn at all.
The air conditioning in a 1996 F150 is made up of several components. The compressor, drier, and coils all need to work properly to ensure comfortable driving in hot weather.
does the fan work? is the system charged with the refrigerant?
The air conditioning belt only runs the compressor. You do not need that belt if the ad is inoperative.
Air conditioning cools the air inside the car making the car a pleasant temperature for the passengers. A compressor is a unit that works to condition the air. The compressor is a fan with blades that move at very high rate of speed. It is responsible for getting the refrigerant to the outside of the blades, where it will then be pressurized and shot out into the condenser.
Two things that come to mind are possibly low on Freon or a bad compressor. Maybe someone else has more ideas.
The A/C Compressor may not be charged with frion if the A/C Clutch does engage, or it may not engage due to fact it's not sending 12v to the electronic wiring. First start the engine and turn on the A/C, watch if the clutch on the compressor engages or not.
