What is wrong with a compressor that will only air up to 60 psi and not shut off?
I had the same problem but the compressor would shut down from over heating. It turned out to be the pressure relief valve leaking. Listen for leaks. I ordered a new valve but never installed it because it turned out that mine was just stuck. Once I freed it, it has worked fine since. Also : The compressor is not shutting off because it is not reaching the shut off pressure. Check for air leaks. If it will not develope more than 60 psi, it may be worn out.
What is SDV valve?
Shut Down Valve- used in ON/OFF position only.
What is the meaning of S.D.N.R. in the globe valve?
shut down non return valve
What is a non-positive shut off valve?
A non-positive shut off valve is one that is controlled by the user. You hold down the valve to keep the water or whatever coming out, and when you want it to stop, you release the valve.
What are the possible faults that can occur to an air compressor?
Maybe if it's not working the breaker has flipped. This can be due to a whole new range of electrical issues. Also, it may be not working because it shut off due to being full of condensation water. Some will shut off when they sense they are full, some will fill until the compressor mechanically cant produce compressed air (as water (theoretically)cannot be compressed ), and some will fill until the flood the motor.Maybe the sidewall of the compressor has rusted through creating a hole, or maybe its missing a fitting. In either case the compressor can't create a store of compressed air causing it to run constantly. Since these compressor are mostly designed for intermittent use only, it will eventually wear or burn itself out.If the compressor itself has failed it will be due to issues in one of two categories; mechanical and electrical. If this is a refrigeration compressor, then the issue is most likely mechanical. If this is a smaller, more common sized reciprocating compressor such as one's often used to inflate car tires, then most likely the issue is electrical. It could still be a mechanical issue due to internals wearing out.Possible electrical problems with this type of compressor:-Loose electrical connections:-if connections are loose the voltage drops. when the voltage drops the motor draws more current through the wire the maintain motor speed causing overheating. the most cost effective fix is total replacement.-Breaker overloaded:- if the breaker which the compressor draws power from is overloaded, when everything is running, the compresser cant get enough power. just like above, the motor will work too hard and overheat.Other electrical issues provided through Google search:Stator burn: Improper or unbalanced voltage and poor motor cooling.Single Phase Burn: Loss of one phase on a three phase system.Half Part Wind Burn: Loss of supply to one winding set on a two winding motor(Part wound).Loose Connections: Loose electrical joins causing a voltage drop.Starting Components: Damaged starting capacitors and relays.Inpure Power Supply: Spikes or surges of current flow.Shorted Power Terminals: Over torquing power terminals.Mechanical issues with reciprocating compressor for refrigeration :Flood Back: Liquid refrigerant returning to the compressor during the running cycle.Flooded Start: Crank case oil diluted with liquid refrigerant due to off cycle vapour migration.Liquid Slugging: Liquid refrigerant or excess amounts of oil entering the cylinders during the running cycle.Excessive Discharge Temperatures: Higher than design superheated discharge gas temperatures.Compressor Oil Loss: Quantity of oil returning from the system is less than that leaving the compressor.Perform a Google search for other possible information or contact a professional such as a small motor technician, plumber, HVACR guy, electrician, or handyman.

to prevent liquid refrigerant from staying in the compressor after shut down

Compressors have a thermal overload built inside that will shut down the compressor if the conditions are critical.

What is wrong if your AC blows cool for about a minute and then the outside shuts off and the fan just blows hot air?
It could be any one of the following: 1. The fan motor is overheating and is shutting down on overload, which will cause the compressor to shut down via the high pressure switch. 2. The compressor is getting too hot and is shutting down via the thermal overload switch. You need to determine if the fan and the compressor both come on at the outdoor unit. If you are getting cold air inside the house, the compressor is probably running. It generally takes longer than 1 minute for the fan to go out on overload unless the bearings are shot, then the fan motor could seize up and shut the compressor down on overload. You should have this checked by an HVAC tech.
