High Pressure Safety Valve HVAC: 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.
