High Pressure Relief Valve






HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

A high pressure relief valve is located on the compressor cylinder head at the rear of the A/C compressor. This mechanical valve is designed to vent refrigerant from the rear A/C system to protect against damage to the A/C compressor and other rear A/C system components caused by condenser air flow restriction or an overcharge of refrigerant.
