If the temperature is below freezing outside, there is no need to run the air conditioning. The heater does not use the same set up as the air conditioning. This may be a built in feature of the car so the compressor does not completely freeze up. As air conditioning is running, freon passes through the compressor, making it quite cold internally.

How do you know if a plate is oven proof?

It will probably say so underneath. If a piece does not have the words "ovenproof" proceed with caution. Although all pottery is kiln-fired, that does NOT mean that it can safely cope with the (much lower) temperatures in a domestic oven. (The reason that non-ovenproof ware cracks in an oven is: (i) expansion takes place too fast; and (ii) there may be a residual water content that expands into steam. It follows that almost all ceramic objects can be reheated to high temperatures, provided it is done slowly enough to avoid expansion-cracking).

Westward expansion (APEX)


What is the basic principle of the steam turbine that can be used to drive generator to produce electricity?

A gas turbine extracts energy from a flow of hot gas produced by combustion of gas or fuel oil in a stream of compressed air. It has an upstream air compressor (radial or axial flow) mechanically coupled to a downstream turbine and a combustion chamber in between. "Gas turbine" may also refer to just the turbine element. Energy is released when compressed air is mixed with fuel and ignited in the combustor. The resulting gases are directed over the turbine's blades, spinning the turbine, and mechanically powering the compressor. Finally, the gases are passed through a nozzle, generating additional thrust by accelerating the hot exhaust gases by expansion back to atmospheric pressure. Energy is extracted in the form of shaft power, compressed air and thrust, in any combination, and used to power aircraft, trains, ships, electrical generators, and even tanks.

Where is the expansion valve on a Ford Focus?

The ford focus has a fixed orrifix in the pipe from the evaporator to the condenser .it is replaceable with a special tool. It does not have a mechanical expansion has such.

Where is the expansion valve located 05 Nissan altima?

The 2005 Nissan air conditioning compressor expansion valve is located on the bottom of the compressor. The expansion valve should be labeled as such.


What is the purpose of an accumulator in air conditioning?

An accumulator does just that...accumulates liquid refrigerant to keep from flooding the expansion valve or compressor. It can also be used as a muffler on compressor noise.


You put an ac compressor in your 97 mustang and its making noiseswhat could it be?

The system is very dirty from the first compressor that went out....... If you just replaced the a/c compressor without changing the expansion tube, the accumulator and flushing out the complete system then it will never work correctly......


Where is the low and hi side on a ac compressor?

The inlet side is the low side - this will have the larger hose. On a Thermal Expansion Valve system, this hose will run from the evaporator outlet to the compressor inlet. On a Fixed Orifice Tube system, this hose will run from the accumulator outlet to the compressor inlet. The outlet side is the high side, and the hose will run from the compressor outlet to the condenser inlet.


How do I change the AC compressor clutch on my 1995 Pontiac Sunfire?

I'm not sure that this is a DIY job. My Haynes manual has no information about actually repairing a compressor. It does, however, go into length about changing out the entire compressor. You should have the system depressurized by a certified AC tech. There are environmental considerations here. Haynes says that when you replace the compressor, to be sure that it A. has oil already in it or B. drain the oil from the old compressor into a graduated container. Add the exact same amount of new oil into the new compressor. When replacing the compressor, you'll also have to replace the accumulator/drier and the expansion (orifice) tube.


Your air blows but not cold and you don't need freon in intrigue 98 Oldsmobile?

1. You have a bad compressor or. 2. You have bad compressor clutch or. 3. You have electrical issues or. 4. You have a bad drier and expansion block.


Which port is the low side on the back of a 89 volvo 244dl compressor?

Follow the hoses. The low side hose will be larger in diameter. If the vehicle uses a Fixed Orifice Tube system, it will go from the accumulator outlet to the compressor inlet. If it has a Thermal Expansion Valve system, it will go from the evaporator outlet to the compressor inlet.


Vw beetle air conditioner compressor turns on but doesnt get cold?

If compressor is running 80-100% of time without recycling, it may still be low on freon. If freon pressure is good, may be expansion valve.

Why do you keep getting metal in your 2007 Malibu ac filter?

More than likely the metal is coming from the compressor. Replace the compressor along with the accumulator/receiver dryer and orifice tube/expansion valve. It is difficult to flush all of the metal out of the system but you must try. Any metal left in the system will eventually destroy the new compressor.


Why does car ac compressor short cycle?

It could be several reasons. First, the freon level may be low. I would have the freon pressure checked first, or you can do yourself. Second, you could have a bad compressor sensor. Third, the compressor itself could be bad or you could have bad expansion valve. All could cause short cycling.


Where is the low pressure valve located?

On an automobile air conditioning system, the low side is the larger hose. The low side consists of 1 side of the air conditioner compressor, the accumulator or receiver drier, and the evaporator. The high side is the other side of the compressor, the condenser, the orfice or expansion valve and in some cases it may have a muffler near the compressor.
