AC Clutch

[Checkmate]

Is a AC Clutch supposed to engage when the heat is on? I put it on Floor with the heat all the way on and I noticed my AC Compressor still kicks in ....

I believe it should...if you think about it something has to compress the air enough to blow it out.

uh??

The Clutch on the AC Compressor has nothing to do with the Blower in the Dash.

See when the Temp needs to be cold the A/C Compressor Kicks in to Compress the R134 into a Liquid then it goes to the area where the blower is and Evaporates into a gas that Draws the heat out of the air, this seems to defeat the logic of heating the car.

I think what I will do is Disconnect the Power to the Compressor in the winter.

Well shit nevermind then, glad you cleared that up for yourself.

Reminder:

It's a good idea to run your A/C a few times in the winter, just to keep oil on all the seals and O-rings. It would suck to kick the A/C on for the first time in the summer only to find out that you lost your refrigerant charge to a dried out O-ring.


(sorry, slightly off topic)

Its not like the A/C Pump runs alot, just every now and then for a few seconds... Like it is just maintaining a little presure. Being in Las Vegas I run the A\C 9 months out of the year and sometimes more, Maybe it forgot that in the Cold it needs to not run
