If it`s a heat pump it may be in defrost mode.
The distance between a freon compressor and the condenser coils can vary depending on the specific system design and requirements. In general, it is best to keep the compressor as close to the condenser coils as possible to minimize refrigerant line length and potential energy losses. However, it is common for the compressor to be located within a few feet of the condenser coils in most residential and commercial HVAC systems.
A fridge typically uses electricity as its source of energy. This electricity powers the compressor, condenser, and evaporator to maintain a cool temperature inside the fridge and keep food items fresh.
Condenser splitting refers to the process of converting a single condenser unit into two separate condenser units. This can be done for various reasons, such as increasing system capacity, improving efficiency, or enabling individual control over different sections of a building. By splitting the condenser, it allows for more flexibility in how the system operates and can lead to better overall performance.
Frequent turning on and off of a fridge can contribute to increased energy consumption and wear on the compressor, potentially leading to early breakdowns. It is generally advised to keep the fridge running consistently to maintain a stable temperature inside.
A refrigerator or freezer works by removing heat from the interior compartment using a refrigeration cycle. This cycle involves a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. The refrigerant absorbs heat inside the compartment, then releases it outside, keeping the interior cool.
The AC fan keeps running after the compressor shuts off to help distribute the remaining cool air throughout the room and prevent the system from overheating.
The function of the AC condenser capacitor in an air conditioning system is to store and release electrical energy to help start the compressor and keep it running smoothly.

That won't keep the car from starting, but will keep the A/C compressor from running.
in a typical residential split system, the condenser fan is cooling the compressor so i wouldn't expect the same useful life from the compressor if it were not being cooled. you could set up its own fan i suppose. you can separate the evaporator and condenser about 25' (50' total line circuit) off the shelf. farther than that, the manufacturer usually has a larger line set (diameters) to keep the same performance rating. you also get into oil drainback issues, i.e. you have to pay attention in sloping the lineset to drain oil back to the compressor.
There is a pressure swithch in the line that keep the compressor from running if there is not enough Freon in the system. You wouldn't have any power at the compressor if you are low.
There is a short somewhere. Probably the condenser fan motor or the compressor. Time to have it checked out by a competent, trusted techenician.
It depends. If the system is low on refrigerant then the compressor will not run until there is enough refrigerant to satisfy the low pressure switch. As you add refrigerant the compressor will cycle until enough is in the system to keep the compressor running continuously. A 1lb. can of R-134a costs about $6.00. It's worth a try. Might be enough to keep you running all summer depending on the size of your leak.
A capacitor in an AC compressor system helps to store and release electrical energy to help start the compressor motor and keep it running smoothly.
Probably a leak in one or more of your air bags but could be your compressor too.
Likely your system has a leak and the compressor can't keep up with the volume of the leak. <><><> Agree. The air bags in the suspension of ours had developed small holes, and the compressor could not keep up. Get that fixed before the compressor burns out.
No. It will keep running until the engine is ruined.
