What are the symptoms of a damaged car compressor?
1 Answers
When a car compressor is damaged, symptoms may include the car air conditioner not cooling, no increase in engine RPM when the air conditioning is turned on, engine stalling, unusual noises and a burning smell, possibly accompanied by smoke. How to prevent car compressor damage: Conduct regular and scientific inspections for effective prevention. Avoid prolonged use of the air conditioning while idling, ensure the refrigerant is not overfilled during air conditioning maintenance, and do not continue using the air conditioning if abnormalities are detected. Causes of car compressor damage: Mainly due to prolonged lack of inspection and improper usage. Reasons include unclean air conditioning system with particulate impurities being sucked into the compressor, excessive refrigerant or lubricant in the system causing "liquid slugging" damage, prolonged operation under high temperature and pressure conditions, severe oil shortage leading to excessive wear, overheating due to slipping of the compressor's electromagnetic clutch, and insufficient compressor power configuration.
