On a commercial vehicle? There is none - there's a release valve on the air tanks which releases air pressure when the pressure in the tanks reaches a certain level. However, the compressor operates continuously while that vehicle is in operation.

Why is it that your car's compressor keeps on running. It stops only if you will shut it off?

More than likely, your H-A/C control is set to Defrost. In most vehicles, when this is set to Defrost, the A/C Compressor runs continually.More than likely, your H-A/C control is set to Defrost. In most vehicles, when this is set to Defrost, the A/C Compressor runs continually.

2004 ford escape replace ac and every three months stops working?

When it stops working do you mean that it quits cooling or the a/c compressor goes bad ???? If it quits cooling and the a/c compressor is good then you either have a leak in the system or the system has a restriction. If the a/c compressor is bad then you have a lot of trash in the system from the first one that was replaced..............


What is meant by loading and unloading in air compressor?

In an air compressor, there are devices that automatically stops the compressor from compressing air. A mechanical unloader is sometimes installed in large air compressors such that air valves are open when the set pressure is attained. When this happens, the drive motor continues running but no air pressurre is pumped to the receiving tank during the unloading period. When the pressure in the tank is reduced to a set level, the air valves in the compressor automatically closes and air pressure is again developed, this called pressure loading. In many oinstances, compressors are contolled only by pressure switches to automatically stop the drive motor at a set pressure and restart at a lower pressure.

If you have a scroll type compressor, at shutdown the compressor stops pumping and the hi & lo refrigerant pressures equalize, breifly spinning the compressor backwards until they are fully equal. This is normal for these type compressors.

Is it normal for the AC compressor to turn on and off when running the heater on a 2000 Chevy 2500 6.0 engine?

YES. The A/C will cycle on and off when the heater is on defrost. That stops the A/C compressor from locking up during the winter months.


Why does the ac cycle onoff when ac button is off?

More than likely you have the directional control set to Defrost. At this setting, the A/C compressor will run continuously. Move the selector to another setting, and see if the compressor stops running.
