What are the symptoms of a broken compressor?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a broken compressor are that the car's air conditioning cannot cool, and the engine speed does not increase when the air conditioning switch is turned on. The compressor is the heart of the car's air conditioning refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and delivering refrigerant vapor. Compressors can be divided into two types: fixed displacement and variable displacement. Based on different working principles, air conditioning compressors can be categorized as fixed displacement compressors and variable displacement compressors. When the air conditioning system is not in operation, it is essential to regularly check the tightness of the belt to ensure the clutch operates correctly. Sometimes, the clutch can affect the compressor's shaft seal due to bearing damage, leading to refrigerant leakage at the compressor's shaft seal.
