Seized?
Low freon charge?
High head pressure?
It compressed the refrigerant. It may also have an air compressor if the vehicle has an air ride system.
Ask your teacher. This is a no brainer...
An AC compressor compresses the freon and circulates the freon through the system. An air ride compressor pumps compressed air into air bags to level the vehicle and/or alter the handling of the vehicle.
Any air compressor that can achieve and hold 100psi will run an air gun. the larger the tank the more lugs you can remove before the compressor will need to run again.
The 1998 Buick Riviera air conditioner compressor is located in the engine compartment. The air conditioner compressor will be on the left-hand side of the engine.
If your air compressor quit after changing the coil pack, you may have additional problems with the compressor. You may want to take the compressor to a service station to have it evaluated.
You will need to check the condenser for leaks, also check the air compressor, you can check the air compressor by turning on the ac, look and see if the front of the air compressor is turning. If the air compressor is not coming on you will need to replace it.You can also check your 134a level. hope this helps.
More than likely it's the internal overload on the compressor kicking it out.
The ac compressor may be seized or about to seize up.
If the compressor is not turning on it could be as simple as low refrigerant level. If the compressor IS turning on, it might be a stuck heater core valve.
Could be your ac compressor is going or gone, probably gone.
Run your engine with the A/C on and watch the end of the compressor where the belt is. If it kicks on you will see the it start turning. if it doesn't turn and never starts turning you may need your A/C charged with freon. If the belt smokes you compressor may be locked up.
The air conditioner/compressor sits on the front passenger side on top of the fender. Remove the water reservoir and then you can disconnect and remove the air compressor. I do not know yet how to remove the air dryer as I cannot see how to remove the air lines from the dryer. I did remove the dryer from the compressor though, by removing a single screw then turning the 1/4 turn and pulling it out of the compressor....so at worst I will be able to put my new compressor in with the old dryer.
I'm Guessing that your talking about the A/C compressor, in which there are 1 or 2 wires going to the clutch. Disconnecting this wire(or 2) will disable the compressor clutch stopping the compressor from working.
Either the air suspension relay that is behind the passenger side wheel well or the compressor.
Most likely you have a damaged - locking a/c compressor internally.............
The conclusion of and air compressor is a supply of air. The air compressor generates air that is stored in a tank.
