  Description and Operation  
 

An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is incorporated in the compressor A/C manifold and tube 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.
