How would the compressor housing feel when a unit has an overcharge of refrigerant?
A refrigerant compressor will be hot when running whether or not the charge is too high or too low. If the charge is too low, the compressor will cycle on and off. If too high the compressor may not run at all.
How do you turn a compressor from a fridge into an air compressor?
Can't do it. The lubricant is mixed in with the refrigerant. Converted to air it would be running dry.
Where would you put the refrigerant on a boneville 94?
low pressure side of a/c compressor (larger hose)
When replacing a compressor in a home AC unit is it standard to replace the freon or is it possible to reuse the existing freon in the new compressor?
When you are replacing a compressor. Chances are that the compressor's internal motor had a burnout when this happens the there is a chemical reaction that makes everything very acidic this in-turn contaminates the refrigerant as well. The old refrigerant would be reclaimed and sent to a a reclamation center where it would be incinerated under the guidelines by the Dept of EPA .
How do you change an ac compressor on a 99 Mazda 626?
Legally you can't without the EPA's Secton 609 certifacation, because any refrigerant in the system must be removed by a licensed technician. And even if its empty of refrigerant, after you relace the compressor you must pull a vacuum on the system to remove air and moisture. I would recomend taking it to a garage. The guy above probably owns an AC garage. You need to have a certified mechanic "discharge" and "re-charge" the refrigerant. However, the act of replacing the AC compressor can be done by you (although this depends on "you"). My local shop charges $85 to remove the refrigerant and replace it again after I have changed out the compressor. Tomorrow I will take the old compressor off and put the new one in...from what I gather so far...this entails removing the plastic cover below the compressor, remove the belt, remove the compressor, replace the new one and use a wrench on the belt "auto-tensioner" to get the belt back on. Run the car and make sure it works properly...then take it back to the garage, get the refrigerant re-charged and you should be good to go!
On a reciprocating compressor what would be a higher than normal temperature on the discharge gas line?
180
What would cause your ac compressor to not come on in a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu and it is full of refrigerant?
Possibly the pressure cycling switch.
In a 2002 jeep grand Cherokee limited what would cause the ac to cut on and off for a couple days and then cut off for good?
The compressor will "cycle" on and off if the refrigerant level is getting low. There is a sensor that detects the pressure of the refrigerant on the "low" side. If there is enough pressure, the compressor can turn on. When the compressor pulls some of the refrigerant and compresses it to the "high" side, there will be less refrigerant for the low side, which causes the sensor to turn the compressor off again, then the refrigerant migrates back to the low side and the compressor can cycle back on. Once the refrigerant level gets so low that the sensor won't allow it to turn on, you're done. You need to find the leak, repair it and recharge the system. Most AC systems that leak that fast have a worn seal and/or main shaft bearing in the compressor. You can't really repair a compressor so if that's your problem, just plan on getting a new one. Look at the compressor, around the pulley. If you see oil, that's your leak.
Why would when you turn the air conditioning on auto the econ heat turns on instead?
Indicates low refrigerant charge - compressor not starting
Comparration diameter size of suction and discharge?
The diameter of the discharge line leaving the ac compressor would be smaller than the suction line, because the compressed gas in the discharge line is more dense.
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.
