Compressor Pulley: Description and Operation
A/C Compressor - Operation
HUB AND PULLEY - VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT A/C COMPRESSOR
NOTE: Typical clutchless compressor pulley drive hub shown.
The design of the Denso 6SEU16 variable displacement A/C compressor does not require the use of an electromagnetic clutch, as the compressor is
controlled by an integral control valve that allows refrigerant to bypass within the compressor See: Description and Operation/A/C Compressor -
Description.
The three bridges (1) located on compressor drive hub (2) are designed to break away in the event of compressor seizure. This action prevents damage to
the serpentine accessory drive belt See: Service and Repair.
NOTE: The compressor drive hub and the pulley and bearing assembly can not be serviced separately from the A/C compressor. In the event
of drive hub or pulley and bearing assembly damage or failure, the A/C compressor, drive hub and pulley and bearing must be
replaced as an assembly.
The compressor drive hub and the pulley and bearing assembly can not be serviced separately from the A/C compressor. The A/C compressor must be
replaced if the drive hub or pulley and bearing assembly is worn or damaged.
