Is poor compressor can cause high head pressure in an air cooled condenser?

Poor compressor performance should result in low head pressure as the system cools better than the compressor can pump.

What happen if the pressure get high inside the steam turbine condenser?
There has to be a built in expansion chamber or release valve. Otherwise the expansion would cause an explosion.
What is stalling in gas turbine compressor?
the engine is having high pressure inside the combustion chamber.the flow has to move trough nozzle.incase the pressure is very high at nozzle compared to the intake pressure the flow moves forward.then the compressors shape changed it is not enough to compress the intake air.it is compressor stall
What is the cause of high combustion temp in cylinder head?
low fuel pressure
What is surging in axial compressors?
Surge is defined as the operating point at which the compressor peak head capability and minimum flow limit are reached. The compressor loses the ability to maintain the peak head when surge occurs and the entire system becomes unstable. Under normal conditions, the compressor operates to the right of the surge line. However, as fluctuations in flow rate occur, or under startup / emergency shutdown, the operating point will move towards the surge line because flow is reduced. If conditions are such that the operating point approaches the surge line, the impeller and diffuser begin to operate in stall and flow recirculation occurs. The flow separation will eventually cause a decrease in the discharge pressure and flow from suction to discharge will resume. This is defined as the surge cycle of the compressor.The surge cycle will repeat itself unless control systems are installed or operational changes are made to bring the compressor out of the surge cycle. The surge cycle may result in a small or large flow reversal period depending on the discharge gas volume and the pressure ratio. Chronic surge is characterized by intermittent periods of small flow reversal that may not cause severe damage to the machine. Acute surge is more pronounced, usually due to a rapid transition across the surge line. Any surge event can cause severe damage to the thrust bearings, seals, and the impeller.
How do you convert heat energy to mechanical?
In some refrigeration systems, mechanical energy is converted to heat energy by mechanically compressing a refrigerant, by means of a compressor; and since refrigerants have a fixed pressure-temperature relationship, much like saturated steam, altering the pressure of a refrigerant correspondingly alters its temperature. I've read of other methods utilizing friction, which is itself mechanical energy in the more pure and direct sense rather than the operation of a mechanical device which itself is utilizing electrical energy, but the compressor example is the only practical real-world application of this nature in common, everyday use that I can think of.
What is the cause a dirty air cooled condenser?
Excessive head pressure.
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.
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..
A clogged air conditioner condenser would cause what?
high head pressure and a higher supply temp.
What would cause the AC compressor of a 2005 Toyota Tacoma not to turn on besides a fuse?
Check the Freon pressure first. The AC compressor will not turn on if the Freon pressure is too low.
What is the factors that cause compressor faults?
delivery pressure too high (pressostat becomes operative
How do you reset your Honda Civic Si compressor?
it sounds kind of weird, but i have a 99 si and it won't run the compressor unless there's a certain pressure in the system, and you can't get pressure in the system cause the compressor won't work. i was thinking of getting a jumper wire and running it to the compressor so it stays engaged-
What might cause a 1996 Suburban to blow only warm air when Ac is on No leaks and pump works?
After a while the pressure will leak from the condenser until it is not enough to condenser and make air cold and will need to be recharged...
What should be the possible reasons of vacuum drop of turbine?
In the low pressure side of a steam turbine, the vacuum is maintained by the condensation of steam in the condenser. At high loads, the condenser may not satisify the demand, allowing steam to remain gaseous for a longer period of time. This can cause pressure to rise.
Why does air come out of the house vents but will not cool down to the thermostat setting?
Any of the following could cause this........ 1. Low on freon.. 2. Condenser fan not working.. 3. Compressor not coming on..
What is the cause of the compressor if not trip to its overload?
What is the cause of a compressor if not trip to its overload
What would cause AC low pressure line to be to high?
If you check the pressure on the low pressure line and it is very high then you should make sure the compressor is ON. You may have put the blower on, but on the dashboard there usually is a button that turns on the ac compressor. When the comp is on the pressure will drop into the "blue" range. This is the first check, and the simplest
