your head pressure will rise through the roof maybe pushing 800+psi on the high side, and will most likely burn out the compressor in a matter of seconds

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 .


What happens with refrigerant in the condenser?

The refrigerant which was in the form of gas before entering the condenser, condenses (converts to liquid refrigerant) as a result of the gas being compressed. This condensation will release heat which is partly taken away by the function of the fan (the rotating blades) in order to prevent the compressor from overheating.


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.

What happens when you have a bad air conditioner compressor?

A Typical Air Compressor used in an air conditioning system is used to compress the vapor refrigerant to a higher pressure. If your compressor is not good enough to compress to the required pressure then your air con. will not provide a good cooling effect. P.S. : The temperature when changed on the main panel will directly change the pressure of your compressor which will affect the room temperature.


How to manually kick on compressor for a 2001 Saturn L200 AC?

There is a protection device on the AC system that prevents the AC compressor from destroying itself. If the AC compressor runs when there is no refrigerant present, friction inside the compressor will wear out the moving parts and push little pieces of worn compressor through the entire AC system. Once that happens, a simple recharge of the refrigerant changes into a major repair of the entire system. So the protection device turns the compressor off when the refrigerant drops below a set pressure as determined by the protection device. But if you insist on forcing the compressor on, there are two ways: 1. Find the protective device. Depending on the system, it can be on the receiver/dryer or anywhere else on the low side of the AC refrigerant lines. It will be the only sensor on the low side refrigerant lines Put a jumper across the low side sensor, then turn on the AC and the compressor should work, provided that everything else is functional. 2. Examine the front (pulley end) of the AC compressor. There should be a connector with a single wire. (if there are two wires, one will be connected directly to chassis ground If you connect a jumper wire directly from the battery to that connector, the compressor clutch should engage immediately. Neither method is recommended unless you know what you're doing and/or are in the process of recharging the system.


What happens if you turn a can of 134a refrigerant upside down while loading it into your car ac system?

You would be putting R134a in liquid form into the low pressure side of the system. You could damage the compressor.

Will a home air conditioner's compressor work if low on freon?

It will work until it over heats and goes off on thermal protection. After this happens enough times the plastic sheathing on the compressor windings will probably melt and create a short. As for the rest of the system, depending on how much refrigerant you have lost, probably won't have very much cooling going on.
