A/C Compressor Pressure Relief Valve
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is incorporated in the compressor manifold and tube assembly to:
- Relieve unusually high refrigerant system discharge pressure buildups.
- Prevent damage to the A/C compressor and other system components.
- Avoid total refrigerant loss by closing after the excessive pressure has been relieved.
