What are the causes of compressor damage?

[Arabella]

Automobile compressor damage can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. When the air conditioning is turned on, the clutch pressure plate and pulley are not synchronized, especially during vehicle acceleration, where the lack of synchronization becomes more apparent. 2. The clutch emits a sharp screeching sound. 3. Sometimes sparks or smoke may be visible at the contact surface between the pressure plate and pulley. 4. Poor or complete lack of cooling in the air conditioning system. Precautions for repairing automobile compressors include: 1. Excessive clutch gap. After turning off the air conditioning, use a feeler gauge to measure the clutch gap, which is significantly larger than the standard value. This is mainly caused by clutch wear or improper adjustment during clutch maintenance. 2. Oil contamination on the clutch surface. The clutch slips due to insufficient static friction, caused by oil leakage from the front oil seal of the engine or accidental oil spillage on the clutch during maintenance. 3. Excessive clutch wear. Prolonged operation of the air conditioning can easily lead to clutch wear and warping deformation, resulting in slipping.
