A/C High Pressure Safety Valve
An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is incorporated in the compressor A/C manifold and tube to:
-
relieve unusually high refrigerant system discharge pressure buildups, (3,103 kPa and above).
-
prevent damage to the A/C compressor and other system components.
-
avoid total refrigerant loss by closing after the excessive pressure has been relieved.
