High Pressure Safety Valve HVAC: Description and Operation
Compressor Relief Valve

The A/C compressor relief valve:

-

is incorporated in the compressor A/C manifold and tube.

-

relieves unusually high refrigerant system discharge pressure build-ups (3103 kpa and above).

-

prevents damage to the A/C compressor and other system components.

-

avoids total refrigerant loss by closing after the excessive pressure has been relieved.
