The purpose of a mechanical seal on a compressor is to prevent the leakage of fluids, such as refrigerants or lubricants, between the rotating shaft and the stationary housing. It ensures that the internal pressure is maintained while minimizing wear and tear on the components. Additionally, mechanical seals enhance the efficiency of the compressor by reducing the risk of contamination and maintaining optimal performance.

What is the difference between an oil free compressor an oil flooded compressor?

The main difference between an oil free compressor and an oil flooded compressor is the method of injection to compress the air for mechanical equipment, most common being construction equipment. In the oil free compressor, air is injected with screws while an oil flooded compressor uses oil injected into the holes to create a seal.


How to replace compressor seal in a 94 achieva?

To replace the compressor seal in a 1994 Oldsmobile Achieva, first disconnect the battery and remove the serpentine belt. Then, detach the compressor from its mounting, and take off the refrigerant lines (be cautious of refrigerant release). Remove the old seal from the compressor, clean the surface, and install the new seal. Reassemble the compressor, reconnect the lines and battery, and recharge the refrigerant as necessary.

Why you need to add refrigerant oil to the compressor?

The oil is there for one purpose ,thats to lubricate the compressor ,but it also traveles with the refrigerant through the system and when you have a leak it will be forced out the place where you have the leak ,thus after awhile you will lose some oil ,generaly the leak will be around the seal in the compressor.

What is the purpose of a compressor?

A mechanical compressor is a device which compresses fluid. It is used to create differences in presssure which creates movement in said fluid. The compressed fluid also has more energy, and thus more uses than expanded fluid.
