A/C Bypass Pulley
What is a A/C Compressor Bypass Pulley?
A/C Bypass Pulleys- Offering simple solutions to uniquely complex situations.
Problem-a vehicle has a seized A/C compressor rendering the vehicle inoperable. Further Replacement of the compressor is a costly solution. As vehicle air conditioning repair can be as costly as engine or transmission replacement-perhaps one simply currently doesn't have the funds for a/c compressor replacement. Or one is uncomfortable with sinking such funds into a repair that will exceed the value of the car. Maybe one wishes to retain a vehicle as a "second" vehicle. Further a non-running car is a near impossible sale. A/C Bypass Pulleys offer a affordable solution. Quite often these bypass pulleys can save vehicles from being scrapped allowing one to retain their vehicle. Or these pulleys can add valuable time to "get things moving " to allow the client to have a operable vehicle while save for compressor replacement and Ac repair. Additionally by removing the A/C Compressor one benefits by a noticeable increase in gas mileage efficiency.
A/C Compressor Bypass Pulley Example
How does one save with the installation of a A/C Compressor Bypass Pulley?
When A/C components fail repair can become quite the costly endeavor in terms of parts and labor. It shocks many to learn that A/c repair can prove as costly as transmission or or engine replacement. When A/c compressors seize it is nearly impossible to know just how deep the financial rabbithole will go in order to restore proper operation. This is due to not knowing the extent of the damage which occurred internally in the A/C system from the seizing of the compressor. Metal particles and contaminants have now entered the system. The passages of many of these ac system components are incredibly small intricately computer machined orifices. These newly introduced contaminants can easily clog interiors of HVAC components. Depending of the severity of the failure in addition to compressor replacement; lines, expansion valves, receiver dryers, evaporators, and condensers may too all require replacement each item listed can take multiple hours to replace. For example Evaporators most often require full interior dash removal and Condensers requiring front end bumper, radiator, headlight, airbag sensor etc removal . The Solution the A/c Compressor Bypass Pulley awards is to not only bypass costly compressor replacement but to bypass the the servicing of the other related HVAC items. A specially designed pulley is merely inserted where the A/C compressor once was.
An increase in gas mileage?
Certainly while the exact increase mpg is hard to define as it will vary per vehicle, the science behind the notion is quite easy to follow. By removing the compressor there will exist less resistance at all times which the vehicle engine had to overcome. Less resistance equates to greater engine efficiency. Further the weight reduction obtained by compressor removal promotes this efficiency further.
Are A/C Bypass Pulleys available for all vehicles?
Bypass pulleys are application specific. While available for the most popular makes and models certain rare model or engine configurations may not exist. Best to contact your mechanic or the likes of Attentive Auto to learn of the availability for your particular vehicle.
