High Pressure Safety Valve HVAC: Description and Operation
Compressor Relief 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, (3103 kPa [450 psi] 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.
