Compressor-Clutch Sensors Save Air Conditioning Failures

摘要

The ACX-10 Air Conditioning Life Extender monitors air-conditioning (A/C) refrigerant pressure and clutch voltage and prevents the compressor from operating in self-destructive conditions. Both high and low refrigerant pressure can force the compressor clutch to cycle on and off rapidly, causing premature wear of the compressor, compressor clutch and hoses. When refrigerant pressure swings high or low (if the system is overheating or low on refrigerant, for example), the ACX-10 prevents rapid clutch cycling by fixing each on/off cycle at 15 seconds. It can cut cycle frequency by as much as 80 percent.
