Does turning the refrigerator off do any damage to the pipes in the compressor if the refrigerant just sits in them?

Can you mix R-134 with R-22?
If you are referring to automotive refrigerant, the answer is no. Neither refrigerant will work properly if mixed and might damage the compressor or other components.
Is refrigerant superheated when leaving the evaporator?
Refrigerant is superheated when leaving the evaporator so that the compressor is not getting liquid along with the gas, becauseÊliquid can cause damage the compressor.
What damage could be done to an AC compressor if there is no refrigerant but you are not using it?
If you are not using it, no damage will occur.If you are not using it, no damage will occur.
What is charging of a compressor?
It means charging the A/C system with the proper kind and amount of refrigerant + oil. Overcharging the system will damage the compressor.
Will low lubricate or refrigerant cause damage to the AC compressor on a Honda CRV?
You need oil in the compressor just as you need oil in your engine. If there is no oil, it will lock up and seize internally. yes it can cause damage to the bearings in the compressor. The unit has oil in it to lube
Is there a fuse under the hood for the AC compressor on a 1999 Mercury Villager that would cause the compressor not to start when the AC is turned on?
Besides fuses,there are relays that activate this compresorm most of them located under the hood; however, most of the compresors have a pressure control switch, if you have a small loss of refrigerant, eventually it is going to loose pressure an your compressor will not start to prevent compressor damage. Evacuate the system and refill with the correct amont of refrigerant.
Would low refrigerant pressure cause the air conditioning compressor on your 1993 Chevrolet G20 van to cycle on and off?
Absolutely, in fact, if the AC compressor is cycling like that, low pressure is about the ONLY thing that can cause it. There is a pressure sensor in the low pressure side of the AC system. When the pressure drops too far it turns off the compressor to prevent damage. As the compressor runs it pulls refrigerant from the low side, compresses it and sends it to the condenser where it is cooled. When that happens there is less refrigerant available to the low side. There is no point in running a compressor if there is nothing left on the low side to compress, so it shuts down. After enough refrigerant works past the orifice and into the low side again, the low side pressure builds up and the compressor restarts.
Can too much of freon damage air conditioner compressor?
Too much refrigerant can do it, yes. System pressures get extremely high on both sides of the AC system when it is overcharged.
You have a subaru legacy 1991 the ac stopped working the compressor is engaging on and of constantly did put cooling in it but still dus not work Have anybody any idea where to look for the problem?
If you added refrigerant, was the compressor running better before or after you added refrigerant? Compressor cycling on-off can be caused by defective low pressure switch (very rare on Subarus), or low on refrigerant. Best to test with a good refrigerant gauge-- resting pressure (system off) should be between 45 and 80 psi (higher pressure with higher temperature) on the suction side. Make CERTAIN you attach the gauge to the suction side (the side with the larger diameter hose). When the compressor cycles on, if suction pressure drops below approx 23-29 psi, the low pressure switch will shut off compressor to prevent damage. If low suction pressure, cure is to add refrigerant, little at a time. NOTE: Refrigerant is under high pressure, and is very dangerous. If you are not trained to handle refrigerant, suggest take this problem to a shop to check out.
What happens if you turn a can of 134a refrigerant upside down while loading it into your car ac system?
You would be putting R134a in liquid form into the low pressure side of the system. You could damage the compressor.
What can cause damage to compressor when turning on an AC in cold temperatures?
Its always best to cycle the a/c compressor on and off several times in any weather condition so that the small amount of oil will travel around the system but there is a small chance of locking the compressor up as well if its not done............
If my Condenser fan didn't work for a day could that ruin my air conditioner?
Yes it would cause your compressor needs that fan to cool down the refrigerant going through your condensing coils.. Without that fan it would cause high head pressure and damage the compressor as well..
