A centrifugal switch is used on the starting winding of fractional HP motors. It is used to start the motor one the start winding and at a predesignated rotational speed the switch opens to de-energize the start winding and the motor carries on running on the run winding.
Another device that should be on compressor motors is an unloader valve. Sometimes it is electrical driven and other times it is mechanical. It is used to used to unload the pressure from the compression cylinders. Without this pressure being unloaded the motor has to start against the pressure in the cylinder head and the added current draw on the motor is sometimes enough to trip the overload protection of the motor.
a gas compressor is a device that increases pressure and reduces its volume
Horsepower is the Imperial unit of measurement for power. In North America, the horsepower is still used to define the rated output power of a motor, whereas the watt is used to define its corresponding input power. Because no device is 100% efficient, a motor's rated output power is always lower than its corresponding input power.Elsewhere in the world, horsepower is considered to be an obsolete unit of measurement and, so, the watt is used to define both the rated output power and the corresponding input power.
For a single phase fractional horsepower motor, only one over current device is needed in the motor feeder. This protection can come in the form of a switch which has the overload heater incorporated into it. These switches come in single and double pole configurations. Select the heater for the motors full load current that is taken from the motors nameplate. Search the web for "fractional motor starter switch".
You will lose capacity and efficiency. The compressor may also run HOT and cycle on its internal overload protection device.
In vapour compressor refrigeration system the low pressure and temperature vapour refrigerant from evaporator is compressed. where it is compressed to a high pressure and temperature. From compressor refrigerant goes to condenser where where it changes the phase. from condenser refrigerant goes to evaporator through expansion device.
It depends on the compressor's total wattage. Watts = Amps x Volts. Find these values from the nameplate on the compressor. As the device is a motor extra current has to be available for the motor starting current. When you find your answer in watts allow another 150% for starting current.

It usually means that your system has developed a leak. Your AC system is charged with freon gas. If a certain amount leaks out, a safety device prevents the AC compressor from starting. Without the compressor, no cold air.
Compressor, condensor, metering device, evaporator.
Compressor outlet to metering device inlet.
That is a diode. It reduces voltage surges when the compressor kicks off and on.
accumlator
The high pressure side is the discharge side. It runs from the compressor outlet to the metering device inlet. The low pressure side is the vacuum side. It runs from the metering device outlet to the compressor inlet.
A. poppet valve
A pump or compressor.
Air ride compressor, air suspension compressor, and air pump are the names used for the same device. They are used to pump up the air suspension.
