| The
Auto A/C Compressor Clutch |
Q:
My A/C Compressor clutch slips when the compressor engages?
What's the problem?
A: Every A/C compressor
clutch has a specific 'air gap'. That is the distance between the clutch
plate (or clutch hub) and the pulley. If the clutch is slipping when the
compressor trys to engage, it is most likely that the air gap is too large.
Typically the air gap will change over time. In most cases, the gap increases.
When it increases too much, the clutch plate will start to slip when the
compressor engages. There are s.
It should also be noted that
there are other problems that could cause compressor clutch slipping; typically
insufficient voltage or excess high pressures. Those possible causes require
other equipment or pressure gauges to check. |
